Highly Overrated But Still Good

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

My quick rating - 5,2/10. For some reason this is getting ripped. The movie itself is a group of shorts tied together by a newscast that is taking place after the zombie apocalypse has arrived. Tough to review without breaking each segment down, but I'll make that easy. Two of them stand out by far. The Jesus zombie hunter segment at the beginning and the very much inspired fun at the beach segment at the end. The Jesus segment, along with quite a few others is strictly based upon humor often mocking fans of traditional zombie flicks. That is not to say that the idea of Jesus giving life to the dead isn't a funny way of looking at the beginning of zombies in general. I am also sure that many Christians were up in arms about this segment. The second segment is the "Dead Alive" homage, the last segment fun at the beach (I am making these names up). This gorefest of 10-15 minutes takes every page out of the classic Dead Alive and displays it to the letter. Right down to the laugh from the skull that ends p through a zombies head that is a direct sample of the laugh from the mutant zombie infant from Dead Alive. Great stuff. The rest of the movie is mere filler with some inside jokes and jabs at how stupid the characters act in zombie flicks with an instructional video or two for some assistance. Overall a fun flick that deserves more credit then it is getting.

5.1 of 10. What amounts to a collection of zombie short stories pulled together into something like a zombie theme park of a film where you go from one zombie ride to the next.Most of the stories, other than the very beginning, involve over-the-top mocking of either zombie or general horror films/games and a lot of other normally untouched zombie territory. The emergency newscaster broadcasting the "apocalypse" reports blames it on Jesus, and we get to see the first Jesus-based zombie story I'm aware of outside of obscure comics.No one is safe from mocking in this, which makes this irritating at times for people who enjoy zombie stories. Fortunately, there's enough of the core zombie ethic and no shortage of skull crushing and sneaky zombie groups to help it avoid being a zombie-hater film. What's missing out of all this, although brain eating is mentioned, is actual brain eating. None of the shorts deal with how a zombie gets to the brain outside of some super zombies that can crack the skull open and pull it out. They still don't eat it and all the other zombies are content with, literally, blood and guts, with an occasional exception that prefers an arm or a leg.

To be honest, seeing the cover photo, along side with the name, I felt as if this was going to be some low budget. singular movie. But no, to my surprise .. "Zombieworld" turned out to be a fun, glorious zombie anthology winner! Of course, this movie, however had lots of flaws, the fact being this movie being pieced together by Dreadcentral shorts introduced. [ Correct me if I'm wrong ] It had some acting that was actually considerable, not as far, or in respectful aspects believable though; but in a way pieced together and won. Of course, this movie had multiple flaws when it came to seriousness, which this movie isn't meant to be, if any of you haven't figured out already. In the end, though, this anthology horror flick was what it was, it pieced together short films of which were scattered about from multiple directors into one film, each one tying in with dark comedy, gore, and some shocking situations / given visually to us audience.I found the execution of this movie to be fun, and exciting. The movie decided to make the audience laugh with a constant news set up. A news anchor would constantly act horrible on purpose, just to give the audience a laugh, which was actually quite funny. The movie also executed "Scheduled alerts" of which commercial - like breaks showing zombie killing tutorials, demonstrating throw back horror at it's finest. With all of that being said, the execution WASN'T flawless, but entertaining, succeeding in it's comedy, and entertainment to the audience, all at the same time pleasing the zombie fans.With all things said for this film, there's not exactly too much else to say of the film. Honestly, if you ask me, this wouldn't particularly be a film EVERYONE would like, depending in the range of the horror fan. This film, is in fact low budget; it dose, however it dose entertain, and keep the audience on they're feet, keeping them in range of dark comedy, horror, thrilling scares, and some dread. All of which leading to a success, making this film pretty freaking awesome for zombie lovers, I recommend it for horror fans looking for a crazy, fun time.

This movie is basically an anthology of short films linked by a news report gimmick. Unfortunately most of the shorts are pretty unremarkable, but two of them are absolutely brilliant. I'd suggest just watching those two:Around the 7 minute mark is "Spanish Jesus."Around the 79 minute mark is "Psycho Guy on Holiday."These are just my names for them, I don't know if there are "official" names for those two shorts. The style of these two feels very similar, I suspect they were both made by the same people. I'll say no more about them, other than they are absolutely unbelievable. Do not miss!
