If you aren’t zombified by the time the final credits roll you are a superhuman and perhaps ready to star in the 467th Marvel movie.
Not being attracted to zombie films I watched “Zombie Town” because Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase were featured actors. Their screen appearance was minimal all for the better as the poor writing gave them and all the other actors little to work with. Don’t be duped into watching this film by the rent a star strategy of the film producers.
Neither does the film work as a teen romance film. Aside from a few skillful twinkles in Madi Monroe’s eyes any romantic inclinations or possibilities must have been hiding under a rock.
Pick out a few contradictions in the script as part of your viewing fun. For example in the beginning of the film Len Carver (Dan Aykroyd) as director of a 1978 film tells the press he will never make any more films yet at the end of the movie one discovers he has made many.
And the convoluted explanation of the rise of the zombies is nonsensical and confusing. An interesting soundtrack but too little of it.
It will be released in Canada on the Hollywood Suite Network on 25October2024.
