Reel Zombies

The zombie film genre has become so watered down lately that you have to sift through a lot of junk to find anything even remotely interesting. Finding a film like this one from director Mike Masters makes the search worthwhile. Set in a post-apocalyptic future, the film tells the story of a low budget film crew who decide to make the third film in their zombie trilogy using actual zombies. While there is a fair amount of splatter, most of which is well done, the real joy of the movie is watching the living cast and crew deal with the uncooperative zombies who, like temperamental undead divas, don’t always do what they’re told. The added bonus is that instead of storming off to their trailers when they aren’t happy, they simply chomp on whoever pisses them off.
