Review

I could try to be nice, and find at least some redeeming quality to this film (usually, I can), but that would be lying. "Zombies Gone Wild" is, without a doubt, the worst DVD I've ever had the misfortune to sit through since I started writing reviews. Have you ever been thumbing through TV channels and stumbled across your city's public access channel? That's essentially the level of acting, production and directorial craft in store for you. Worse yet, it's not even a so-bad-it's-good flick. It's is the work of self-congratulatory morons with a video camera. You can practically see these guys cracking each other up after every take.
The title, a jab at the 'Girls Gone Wild' series of amateur soft-core porn videos, is the cleverest thing the movie has to offer. The movie, which opens with a guy taking a dump while assuring his buddy on the phone that he's having sex, follows three dumbasses on a road trip to find women, only to be led to a remote village where the living dead can eat them. These guys are irritatingly stupid, and played so broadly they make Jerry Lewis look like Robert DeNiro. Worse yet, nearly every so-called hilarious scene of these guys' exploits goes on forever. Absolutely none of it is funny, though one gets the impression that everyone involved in the film's production probably thought what they captured on tape is hilarious. Don't be fooled by the semi-enticing case cover or text blurb. "Zombies Gone Wild" was shot on video tape with what looks like ONE camera, and is similar to what bunch of high school kids could do once they realize they can put whatever they shoot on public access TV. If I had my druthers, I'd hunt down writer/director G.R. and force him at gunpoint to give me back the 90 minutes (which felt like 3 hours) I wasted sitting through this crap. Perhaps I could make him watch a video of me watching his video. It would be more entertaining.

Picture and Sound

As with the movie, the video and audio quality pretty much sucks. The thing is shot with video cameras, and looks it, and the sound quality is on par with local public access productions.

Extras

If there actually ARE fans of the movie (besides those involved in making it), this disc offers behind the scenes footage, bloopers, a trailer, desktop wallpapers, photo gallery and instructions on how to make a 'zombie drink' (which has nothing to do with the movie).

Summary

Do yourself a favor...go out and play around with your own video camera.. Make a splatter film with red food coloring, meat scraps & Karo syrup. Include your friends. Get the best looking girl you know drunk and have her gyrate before the camera. Buy a few cases of beer and laugh at yourselves on TV when you watch the results. Trust me, it'll be more entertaining than this (and cheaper if you can manage to steal the beer). Despite what I said at the start of this review, "Zombie Gone Wild" does have one redeeming quality...it convinces us that any dumbshit with a video camera (and some obvious distribution connections) can be in the movie business. Not recommended, even for slumming zombie fanatics.

Movie Quotes

I've seen things you people wouldn't
believe. Attack ships on fire off the
shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams
glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser
gate. All those moments will be lost in
time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
