I mentioned this over in the Recent Viewings thread, but this movie is so wonderfully awful that I felt it really needed its own thread - with the trailer thrown in for good measure. Here is what I already said about it:
I watched a goofy, over-the-top gorefest called ZOMBIEWORLD. This one is set in the post-zombie
apocalypse future, where a news reporter is breaking to different regions of the world, where people are dealing in different ways
with the zombie outbreak. He also does a historical piece on the very first recorded zombie attack - when Jesus raised Lazarus
from the dead, he came back as a flesh muncher, infecting the entire village. It was up to Jesus and his faithful apostle Judas
to put down the undead monsters, using only fish as their weapons (fortunately Jesus was able to not only multiply the fish,
but also to change up species according to whether he and Judas needed throwing stars, swords, or chainsaws!). As theologically
offensive as it was, this piece alone elevates this film to the bad movie stratosphere! The other vignettes were alternately
funny or just gruesome; the reporter who narrates the transitions has been bitten and is slowly morphing to a zombie the whole
time, too, setting up a predictable but bloody ending. On the bad movie scale, this one definitely rates a solid 5/5!
There are so many wonderful vignettes in this thing - from finding romance in the Zombie Apocalypse, to the Scottish rocker with the
dying roommate, to the little girl with a penchant for telling zombie stories to unsuspecting strangers, and then there is the anxiety
patient who gets released from the asylum and goes to the beach on the day the zombie apocalypse strikes Spain. He's all well and good
until the batteries on his Ipod run out - but then the zombies must PAY! And on the whole Jesus scene - Jesus and Judas and the others
are speaking SPANISH the whole time for some reason! It just makes the whole thing even more surrealistic. Anyway, tell me you can watch
this trailer and NOT want to see this movie:
