Plot summary

From the land of early Peter Jackson comes another Braindead movie in bad taste. It’s the third day of shooting the low budget horror ‘Tonight They Come’ on location in the wilds of New Zealand. Director SMP is already beside himself having to work with a self-obsessed leading man and a bimbo actress when into his line of fire comes a new runner, wannabe screenwriter Wesley Pennington. Clearly an accident-prone nerd, Wesley nevertheless tries his best to fit in with the crazed cast and demented crew while falling head over heels for Susan, the set caterer. But something nasty has entered the local water supply and suddenly the zombie extras start acting like genuine members of the living dead, gore stunts looks even more authentic and actual severed limbs fly. Reel life turns real as Wesley attempts to save the day while ensuring his latest script will get made.

I Survived a Zombie Holocaust: Flawed but has its moments

PlotA young runner, on a Zombie film set, has the first day from hell when real Zombies overrun the set.CastNot familiar with anyone involvedVerdictSo the premise is that during the filming of a zombie movie real zombies attack, does that sound familiar to you? If it doesn't you can't watch many zombie films because I can think of 4-5 flicks with exactly the same concept! 2017's One Cut of the Dead arguably being the best of the bunch. So originality? Not so much on view here.Visually it looks the part and the cast are competent enough, the trouble is that though this is a zombie comedy it's light on zombies and erm....laughs. You know what it does have? Cliches, tropes and all the standard scenes you expect from a mediocre zombie film.I was enjoying it initially, alas this didn't last and it fell back on every cliche imaginable and left me querying whether I'd already seen it because it felt so remarkably recycled.I see what they were trying to do here, but they relied too much on what had come before rather than carving the movie its own identity. The end result, something you've practically seen before.RantsHorror is my default genre and within that zombie films are my favourite sub-genre so as you can imagine I've seen far too many and that is really starting to cost me. I feel like I've seen everything, that every zombie movie I watch I fail to enjoy because I've seen too much before and everything feels like a remake of what's come before. I need and appreciate originality more than ever but this sub-genre is stale and you simply don't see enough of it!The GoodSome decent ideas Fairly well madeThe BadVery little originality Falls apart the further in it goes.

Zombie movie within a zombie movie.

I actually liked this flick,it's not big budget but you can see they had fun with it.

This was made in New Zealand who brought us the zombie gem "braindead"which is still one of my favorites and certainly the best non "Romero" out there.This never gets on that level but it has enough to be a nice addition to the whole genre.

It's not the most original either but it does have some elements that are and which works for this movie.Especially the zombie movie within a zombie movie felt some what unique and gives the story a change to be funny without feeling forced.The crossing of reality and fantasy is superb and handled very well by the actors who give it a real"down to earth"feeling.

The ending was a real surprise and fitted this story well. It also leaves room for a sequel or even a trilogy but if they do they gotta keep adding elements to keep it fresh, but...time will tell.

If you don't like zombie movies or non Hollywood films than this probably is not a movie you'll enjoy.If you like zombie movies or a different approach to the genre you might wanna check this one out.

A good mix of horror and humor.

It don't happen often but with this one it does.

It's just....great living dead fun!.
