Aaah! Zombies!!

Aaah! Zombies!! is a horror/comedy about zombies that don't know they're zombies. It has Matt Davis from The Vampire Diaries and Michael Grant Terry from Bones, both of whom I really like.

Theoretically, I should love this movie. I mean, it's a zombie movie with a new twist that features actors I like from shows I love. I'm practically predisposed to like it, right? I was really excited about it after viewing this trailer:



I'm not entirely sure where it went wrong, but I think it felt like it was trying to hard to wink at the audience. And the acting was bad even by horror movie standards. It also ran too long - it would've been much better at one third of the running time and it was only 1 1/2 hours.

Should you give it a try? Only if you're a fan of the genre interested in a new twist or appreciate a lot of frat house style comedy mixed in with your horror movies. I'd really rather you watched 28 Days Later or Shaun of the Dead, even if you've already seen them. That would be a better use of your time.

Have you seen it? What did you think?
