Rent Zombie Town (2007)

Convincing entertainment with the walking dead - Zombie Town review by NP

There’s no messing about in this modestly-budgeted zombie extravaganza – only minutes in, and there’s enough blood and gore to keep everyone happy; apart, that is, from the victims of this unspecified outbreak.

This is a lot of fun. The characters are lively and likeable and although this certainly isn’t a comedy, there are moments of humour that engages throughout. As a result, we are never given the impression we are to take things too seriously, even during some pretty nasty, well realised set pieces.

The isolated town could have been plucked from ‘The Blair Witch Project’, which gives it an autumnal atmosphere. Adam Hose, Brynn Lucas, Phil Burke and Dennis Lemoine do well in the main roles, but the real star is the story which retains a tongue-in-cheek quality throughout and delivers some moments that are difficult to forget.

It would be very difficult not to have fun with this. My score is 6 out of 10.
