Dead center average zombie film with a "wrestler twist". The acting is from the usual "straight to video" camp, the directing is from the "uh, is this thing on" camp and the film itself from the "there's still gold in this genre" camp. All of it adds up to be mildly entertaining, but nothing more.

This movie is an underrated comedic gem, in my opinion. The movie, on the face of it and with the trailer, seems like another by-the-numbers 'Zombies + Unusual Situation,' in this case pro-wrestling. It is that, but honestly more than that. For starters, the main characters are likeable and flawed, something most zombie movies lack. The duo have some real chemistry. The wrestling angle is interesting. There's discussion of a lot of back-room wrestling stuff, done without explanation to the audience but still somewhat easy to understand. And the actual wrestling is pretty good, though admittedly there isn't that much. Really, it's more about the general bad times of being an indie wrestler for two thirds of the movie, which is kinda cool. The effects are good, though not the best, which is fine for what it sets out to do. Solid gore effects and the zombies are sufficiently creepy. So A-plus there. The actual plot is mildy ehn, like still good but not amazing. It feels like the actual plot is a bit thin and relying on the character interactions, which is ordinarily a negative but the characters all gel well. But it's the 'twist' that really elevates it to gold. I say 'twist' but it's revealed early in the movie, like first scene early. The story is essentially a redneck Dad telling his Son about a comic the son found. It feels very 'Tales From The Crypt,' which sort of explains or excuses some of the narrative flaws. Even without that I think the movie is a good watch for zombie and wrestling fans, but with it? It elevates it to an entertaining time, as even my pendantic, realism-driven behind could thus ignore some of the minor flaws. After all, it's a comic book in the movie universe. Either way, I feel this is worth a watch if you enjoy wrestling, zombies, or character-driven horror comedies.

This is a silly, funny, relatively predictable movie that truly exceeds expectations. Now, just by virtue of the title, you should know not to expect 'The Shining' or 'Night of the Living Dead'. This is a movie that does not take itself too seriously and therein lies its charm. It starts off a little slow and then builds into a funny, absurd romp. There is a lot of snappy and witty dialogue. If I had any issue with the movie it is that the dialogue was spoken too quickly and sometimes hard to decipher. MMA superstars Randy Couture and the great Bas Ruttan add to the fun. There are a lot of inside Professional wrestling jokes so WWE fans should get a kick out of it. This isnt really a 'date movie' or a movie than girls will enjoy, unless they are fans of horror-comedy. There is some gore, but it kind of silly-gore so it's not too realistic. I truly hope they make a sequel. It is just a fun movie where you effortless cheer on the good guys and hiss at the villains. Rowdy Fun!

Entertaining front to back , from the opening credits to my tripping on the way out of theater from laughing so hard. Top notch acting and production. The Mansons killed it.

I really predicted this movie was gonna be bad and unfortunately I was right, in most of the film I got to watch a lot of stupid dialogues until it got to it's point, the zombie makeup was kinda okay, the acting though was terrible so I'm giving it a 3 for the effort because I'm generous.

Right, well as an avid zombie fan, I must admit that I just had to sit down and watch this 2021 horror comedy titled "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre", as it was a movie that blended zombies with pro wrestling. And yeah, having been a kid in the 1980s, I grew up watching wrestling on TV, so of course there was something nostalgic about this project from writers Mike Carey and Chris Margetis. Now, the title itself sort of made me wonder about the contents of the movie, as I was thinking about old Charlie Manson, so I had a flickering doubt about what I was going to be in for here. And while "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre" definitely was watchable, it just wasn't an outstanding movie. Why? Well, first and foremost, the pacing of the movie. It took director Max Martini forever to set the stage, and by the time things actually started to uppen the pace, it was just about an hour into the foray, and by that time too much time had passed by with little fun or zombie action. So it was somewhat of an ordeal to sit through "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre". Sure, the concept idea of zombies and wrestlers does have some appeal to it, but if you look at it afterwards when the movie is finished, then you're not going to be finding yourself clapping your hands in glee, because the mixture was just a bland and mundane end result. The acting performances in "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre" were adequate. Sure, I wasn't expecting to be in for a Shakespearian experience here, but I will say that the performers put on adequate enough performances given the limitations of the storyline, plot, script, dialogue and character gallery. I will say, though, that the performers definitely had a wrestling-feel going on, because that was spot on. Visually then "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre" was actually fair. The zombie make-up and effects were actually good. They weren't as amazing as what you would see in a Romero movie or the TV series "The Walking Dead", but they were good enough. It definitely was a couple of steps above the typical rubbish that tend to flood the zombie genre. All in all, then "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre" was watchable, but it was a generic and bland venture into the zombie genre. The potential was there for something outstanding, but it just ended up being just another drop in the rotting ocean of zombie movies. And while it is watchable, this is hardly a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time. As such, then my rating of "The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre" lands on a five out of ten stars.

Just a fun movie, good chemistry between the brothers. Got a lot of value out of an indie budget. Not cliche heavy for a cliche heavy genre, which is quite the feat these days...

This is a movie that KNOWS what it is and the dynamic of the Manson Brothers is fantastic and the showcasing of the wrestling matches / backstage sections is great. The zombie action is great in the 3rd act. The family who's reading this story at the beginning isn't great, unfortunately. If you want to know more, check my YouTube channel: Did You Z That!
