4/10
I think I'm about to spoil the party.

The story: High school kids vs zombies.

I'd never heard of this film before today so after watching it I checked out the reviews section here at the IMDb and had a look what other people thought of it. Well, it was quite surprising to find more gushing in here than the result of any zombie neck munching contained within the film.

Very sorry, but it's not groundbreaking, it's not the best horror film in years and it's definitely not reminiscent of John Carpenter or George Romero. In fact it's not much of anything really other than a fairly standard, low budget horror film with a standard, low budget horror film script with standard, low budget horror film acting.

As much as I respect the amount of work that goes into making movies, I'm afraid I don't actually care about the trials and tribulations of making of the film when I write anything about it. I reserve my judgement purely for what's on the screen. There has obviously been a lot of hard work put into making this film but there's a lot of hard work put into every movie. What you have here is a competent little comedy/horror film that isn't that scary, isn't really laugh out loud funny and just about manages to keep the attention.

Still, this certainly doesn't fall into the dreaded "worst film ever" category that IMDb reviewers seem to love so much. It's just not "Best film ever" material either.
