A Little Bit Zombie

I honestly had low expectations going into this one, but when I finished watching this my endorphins were flowing well. This is a non serious, lighthearted and unique take on zombie films. The whole cast was enjoyable to watch and there was great chemistry with the four leads. I love slapstick and silly humor so I literally haven't laughed this much while watching a movie in years. I busted a gut at a few scenes I mean to say that there are some genuinely hilarious scenes in this. My problem is, I'm 56 years old and watched about everything there is to watch and especially in the Zombie horror genre. Don't be silly and try to judge this as a serious movie, it was meant to be pure fun. The lead man, whether he knows it or not, could literally be the next Jim Carrey, he played his part so well, he could very good in a Ferrelly brother slapstick film . The buff actor was hilarious also, I mean he nails it as the a typical jock. The girls were incredibly hot and hilarious, the kind of gals you absolutely want to party with. The scientist was also great, less funny but very like-able. Total eye candy. The zombie hunter is such an ass, he annoyed me a bit but he nails his role also, he sets out to be the character he was intended to be and rather well. I cannot remember his name but he has been in a plethora of movies; we have all seen him, and he is an above average actor, actually, Pontypool comes to mind. (A must watch). Seriously , if your humor is similar to mine, meaning if you enjoy silly slapstick, you will love this. If you're looking for serious, steer clear. This is for those of us who enjoy all styles of zombie films, and this achieves its goal. I gave this a solid 9 out of 10. The two lead men should collaborate, they work well together, as does the 3 intelligent hotties lol.

Meek young man Steve (a solid and amiable performance by Kristopher Turner) gets infected by a virus that causes him to slowly transform into a zombie. Steve not only has to contend with his domineering fiancé Tina (sharply played to bitchy perfection by Crystal Lowe), but also has to elude nutty and obsessive zombie hunter Max (a marvelously loopy turn by the always dependable Stephen McHattie). Director Casey Walker, working from a witty and kooky script by Christopher Bond and Trevor Martin, relates the enjoyably quirky story at a snappy pace, sustains a suitably off-the-wall tone throughout, ably milks the amusing sense of inspired offbeat humor for maximum belly laughs, delivers several hysterical gross-out gags (Steve eats a cute bunny rabbit at one point!), and presents a winning array of engagingly eccentric characters. Moreover, it's acted with tremendous zest by an enthusiastic cast: Shawn Roberts as Steve's easygoing buddy Craig, Kristen Hager as Steve's sassy'n'sarcastic sister Sarah, Emilie Ulerup as Max's perky partner Penelope, and George Buza as jolly butcher Captain Cletus. In addition, this film possesses a certain sweetly flaky charm that's impossible to either dislike or resist. Kevin C.W. Wong's glossy cinematography provides a pleasing polished look. A total riot.

Max (Stephen McHattie) and Penelope (TV star Emilie Ullerup) are zombie hunters. They use a directional orb which detects the presence of the undead. Meanwhile two couples are spending a pre-wedding vacation in a cabin. Steve (Kristopher Turner) is an HR rep, a nice guy with a touch of geek. He is going to marry Tina, (Crystal Lowe) a character which reminded me of a flaky Samantha Bee from "The Daily Show." Steve's sister Sarah (Kristen Hager) is going to be the matron of honor. The two women do not get along. Sarah's husband Craig (Shawn Roberts), a down to earth guy, rounds out the foursome. If you look at the cover and read the title you can surmise Steve becomes a zombie, but not a complete zombie. He is a "resistive host" but still craves human brains. The film is more of a comedy with a zombie background. George Buza played his minor role well. The film was fun to watch as the two couples attempt to get along when Steve becomes an issue. "Family takes care of family." Parental Guide: F-bomb. C-word. No sex or nudity. Adult talk. Cat fight.

Not Bad at all. I always felt that the Zombie movie genre always seem to bring out the cleverness in film makers, this movie can be added to that list. It's about a guy who gets infected on the wake of his wedding, but unlike most people he seems to be able to fight his infection. while two zombie hunters attempt to find him and kill him. this guys fiancé, who's desperate to get married embraces what he's becoming and attempts to help him by hunting down his food for him. Like most good zombie movies it's less about the Zombie and more about the social commentary. Everyone believes that Steve's "infection" is just cold feet over the idea of marriage to Tina, who can't wait for the big day. Adding more drama to the plot is Steve's sister Sarah whose not into Tina becoming her Sister-in-law Craig who just for laughs helps Steve confirm weather he's actually becoming a zombie or not. An interesting spin on the zombie movie, as it's treated as a Virus that can be fought off. worth seeing if your a fan of the genre.

Yes, it's another zombie movie. However, fair play to the film-makers for at least TRYING to do something a little different (assuming that you haven't seen 'Deadheads' which is a bit like 'A Little Bit Zombie'). I guess there are two types of zombie outbreak – the one that consumes the whole world at once and the other than only happens in a localised rural area. In this case we have the latter. While 99% of the world sleeps soundly in their beds, oblivious to the fact that hordes of flesh-eating ghouls are eating people alive in a small town, two couples go on a trip there to plan one of their weddings. And one of them gets infected with the 'zombie virus.' I won't go into how that happened, as, like I say, they do try to be a little different whenever they can. But, as we all know, when you exchange blood with the undead, you begin to turn. However, the man infected doesn't just start tearing apart his party. He's a little more in control than that. A little. So, witnessing his inner turmoil, his friends set out trying to preserve his humanity while doing their best to quench his thirst for human brains. Does it work? Sort of. A few of the acting performances leaves a little to be desired, but, on the whole, the cast are okay. The gore, for those who like seeing heads explode at every possible turn, isn't up to that much. You get the odd 'head shot,' but that's about it. What saves the film from being totally forgotten is the dialogue. The two couples don't really get on well to begin with, let alone when one of their number starts threatening to eat the others alive. Therefore there's quite a lot of nice banter between the four of them which makes it quite humorous to watch. It's a short film, running at less than the standard one and a half hours, but it doesn't really need to be much longer. It's no classic, but it's not that bad either. If you can really stand to sit through another zombie movie (or should I say another 'zom-com' movie?) then you might like it. I read someone else's review online which stated that 'A Little Bit Zombie' is like 'National Lampoon's Eighties Zombie Movie.' That's a pretty good appraisal of the film. http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

Why did the bunny have to die? This movie is what happens when American Pie and Evil Dead have a bastard child: and I mean this in the greatest way possible! There are a number of visual references to the Evil Dead franchise that will delight Dead fans. My favorite Dead gag is when the infamous "possessed camera" makes an appearance. The makers of this movie use plenty of old school practical effects, not shying away from goo for blood or using a puppet for a zombie mosquito. This movie is campy and cheesy and never takes itself too seriously... but in the best possible way. I would recommend this to fans of Ponty Pool, Ahhh Zombies, American Zombie, or bacon as a midnight snack. P.S. Watch through the credits.

I was really pleasantly surprised by this film. I just blindly rented this without even looking who's in it, just to find out that Stephen McHattie has a role in it (and while his character might not be the most welcoming one, he's a great actor and it's always great to see him play anything). Apart from that, the rest of the cast was almost unknown to me, but that didn't matter. There have been quite a few good zombie comedies in the recent years, but there also have been quite a few bad ones. This fits into the category of the good ones. It's not top notch, but it does make a lot of fun watching it (even if/when it get completely ridiculous). Obviously they didn't have a lot of money to shoot this, but the end result, does warrant a look or two ... maybe even a bite! ;o)

My expectations for this were less than zero. The truth is 99.9% of low budget horror and/or comedy films of the last 20 years have been utter crap that is a waste of time to watch. Still I try them out, hoping to find that occasional 0.1% that's worth it. A Little Bit Zombie is not a great film or even a particularly good one. The jokes are stale and the fx are mediocre. But it does have a good cast, some decent direction, and an enjoyably upbeat tone throughout. Kristopher Turner is the lead and he's probably the weakest actor in the cast. His mugging and rubberfacing shows his limitations as a comedian. However the rest of the cast picks up the slack and makes the most of weak material. Stephen McHattie and Emilie Ullerup are good fun as a pair of zombie hunters. McHattie seems like he's having a great time with the role. Kristen Hager and Captain Steroids...I mean Shawn Roberts...are good as the sister and best friend. Crystal Lowe is the bride-to-be and she was probably the most enjoyable part of the movie for me. I always try out any movie she's in, no matter the low budgetness, and am rarely disappointed in her performance. All in all, it's worth a gander but still a limited, though pleasant, film to watch.

Heading out into the woods to plan their wedding uninterrupted, a group of friends come to realize the strange behavior of the groom is due to a zombie infection and must try to help him cope with the oncoming changes while keeping the wedding intact and him safe from hunting scientists. This here turned out to be quite an entertaining and enjoyable zombie comedy with so many fun and funny moments. The fact that the infection is so early in the film makes the fact that he's resisting for so long the central point in generating the comedy as he can't act as a typical human due to the presence of the infection, yet that infection is causing him to produce more zombified activity that a normal human wouldn't consider, and thus generates some outstanding comedy. From the interaction with the rabbit, the group forced to buy animal brains to get him to eat at a meat-processing plant and the absolutely gut-busting antics of the group being okay with his zombified behavior as it allows them to basically treat him like a human crash test dummy for their own amusement, and it's just so hilarious that the premise is allowing this kind of activity to occur by itself is enough to make the movie worthwhile. While the early parts of him trying to hold it in for his wife's sake and the general disgust amongst the friends towards her for treating him like that are funny in their own right, it's really at the end where it gets really funny. The confrontation with the hunters packs the film's only real gory moments in some fantastic head-shots and blood-splatter, the fact that it's not in that mode at all might be quite a disappointment for some looking for a funny-yet-over-the-top zombie comedy, the fact that it's got the courage to only feature a few of them while concentrating only on the comedy of the premise rather than delve into the conventions of the genre makes for a good time all around. Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Violence, Brief comedic Nudity and drug use.

As an absolute zombie fan I came into this move not knowing what to expect as to be fair the large majority of Z-flicks out there you watch once and the disc ends up collecting dust. (Or gets deleted from your HDD) IMHO Zombie land is the current king of the funny zombie genera, but this movie isn't far off. It has a strait forward and easy to follow plot line, good acting (though you can tell they made it intentionally cheesy), some real bust your guts laughs (watched it sober tonight, but its definitely going to be watched again medicated), and the quality of the film is absolutely amazing considering their budget which was about 1/3 of what Shawn of the dead had (or a measly 7.5% of what zombie land had). Don't let that fool you though as it does not seem low budget at all. The fx were perfectly done. (no exploding balloon heads or fake looking blood/brain matter here) plus the film has a well known cast who have been in a ton of movies/TV shows. (The gorgeous Kristen Hager from Being Human is what caught my attention as I was scrolling through the release site) The movie deserves an 8 - 8.5 judged by nothing but what was filmed, however from the opening and closing credits I noticed they made a big deal about mymilliondollarmovie.com and I decided to check out the website. The sheer fact of how the guy got the funding for this flick, and the time and effort put into making it cranked my personal rating to a 10 (though I will keep that rating to myself and not over vote here) I rarely write reviews for anything online, but after watching this I ended up on IMDb 5 minutes later and found the lack of reviews disappointing. If you like zombie movies don't miss this one. If you love zombie movies your a fool not to watch this.
