Final Take

The FP is a ‘hall of fame’ Bad Movie Thursday selection, so this movie had a lot to live up to, and I think it delivered. You’ve got to respect the dedication that Jason Trost has for this movie and ridiculous world / culture / language he has created. It is thoroughly entertaining and takes it self seriously enough to maintain the immersion in this crazy world. This is one of the most quotable movies in BMT history just because of the dialect that has been created for this post-apocalyptic world– the list above could have been much longer if I would have been spending more time writing everything down. This movie had enjoyable characters, twists, and nods to video game culture, and we would definitely recommend. This movie might not make the top 10 Bad Movie Thursday list, but would make the top 25 for sure.

Starring: The Zoombies

Plot: A game ranger and a team of poachers end up surrounded by zombie animals and they forge an alliance to stop the beasts before the super-zombie virus spreads to the entire world.

Rules

• Animals turning into zoombies
• Saying the word “zoo”
• Animals “chittering”
• Don’t forget house rule – creature-vision
• “Toronto”

Quotes

• “It’s a cocktail of my own creation. Paralyzes the animal from within.”
• “Humped to death by a lion.”
• “The animals are going crazy. They want our blood. They want revenge!”
• “This planet is wasting away. I’m just trying to make some cash before we’re all extinct.”
• “Face it… we’re not the kings of the jungle anymore!”
• “You want us to willingly feed ourselves to the animals?”
• “It’s an antidote, okay. It’s not a secret serum to give you powers.”

Viewer Quotes

• “That jeep’s going like a ride at disneyland.”
• “How did the porcupine get in there?” – “Must have gone through the air ducts.”

Things We Learned

• The planet is wasting away. You just have to make some cash before we’re all extinct.
• Porcupines will explode when shocked with a cattle prod.

Final Take: It was just fine. Too many of the people died in stupid ways, it seemed like a waste, but probably budget restrictions. We craved more gruesome zoombie killings, and this movie definitely left us wanting. I’m not sure I would strongly recommend this movie when there are clearly better options.
