There Are Worse Things To Be Than "A Little Bit Zombie"
What's more terrifying? Getting married, or becoming a zombie?
Some might claim that one leads to the other...
: /
The Story:
Days before their wedding, Steve (Kristopher Turner) and Tina (Crystal Lowe) head to a remote cabin in the woods for some last minute preparations bringing along best man (Shawn Roberts) and his wife (Kristen Hager) who is also Steve's sister. Meanwhile a pair of zombie hunters (Stephen McHattie and Emilie Ullerup) are nearby doing what they do best. However, when a pesky mosquito bites a zombie...and then flies away and bites Steve...
The plans for the weekend are about to change.
Oh my goodness. The great horror/humor movies continue to be cranked out. I think this movie was shot on about a $75 dollar budget, but it works, and it works great.
The idea for how the virus gets transferred was pretty darn funny as well.
The only actor I'd ever seen before was McHattie, but all of them do a tremendous job. The pacing is crisp and the dialogue is rapid-fire and amusing throughout.
You will not get bored.
Steve you see is resistant to the change that is occurring in his body. He is fighting his zombie urges, and so you see how far family is willing to go to help the poor guy out.
And, in typical family fashion, some of the choices they make are not exactly for the best.
I won't give away anything else. This is a little indie movie that you need to see to appreciate.
If you like horror. If you like humor. If you like humorous horror movies.
You'll like this film.
Streaming instantly on Netflix as of this writing.
Final Grade: B+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: I don't get to rewatch too many scary movies, and since this one grabbed an R rating, that makes it less likely than Warm Bodies of getting replay value at my house. I would add it to the collection if given the right opportunity though. : )
