Zombieworld (2015)

Overrated

Better than most people think

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Seriously you have to see this film, especially the "Fist of Jesus" , there are some effects that I haven't even seen in any modern zombie films like the half head with the eyes moving and the hilarious use of fish to kill zombies with the piranha getting the biggest laugh!It is quite sacrilegious and I can see how some Christians would most definitely be offended by it but just take it in fun and you will enjoy it! Would have been nice if they could have added a mohammed sketch but I guess that will never happen.The segment set on the beach has to be seen to be believed - once again there are some gut wrenching effects that are simply hilarious like the football head and most of the effects are quite simply amazing for such a low budget - i would say that some of them even beat z-nation and many other high end zombie films - simply superb!Contrary to some reviews I found the inter-segment "how to survive a zombie apocalypse" skits quite amusing - I think the stabbing a zombie in the back of the head with a bicycle seat raised the biggest laugh - very unorthodox but effective! lol I have actually learned some very effective zombie survival secrets now for when the impending zombie apocalypse does happen so the movie is practical as well as funny! >;o)Most of the movie is stitched together shorts - some good, some bad. Yeah its low budget, yeah its full of mistakes but yeah it is actually quite funny if you aren't an anal film reviewer with no sense of humour. Just open a beer , lie back and laugh (or not).

My quick rating - 5,2/10. For some reason this is getting ripped. The movie itself is a group of shorts tied together by a newscast that is taking place after the zombie apocalypse has arrived. Tough to review without breaking each segment down, but I'll make that easy. Two of them stand out by far. The Jesus zombie hunter segment at the beginning and the very much inspired fun at the beach segment at the end. The Jesus segment, along with quite a few others is strictly based upon humor often mocking fans of traditional zombie flicks. That is not to say that the idea of Jesus giving life to the dead isn't a funny way of looking at the beginning of zombies in general. I am also sure that many Christians were up in arms about this segment. The second segment is the "Dead Alive" homage, the last segment fun at the beach (I am making these names up). This gorefest of 10-15 minutes takes every page out of the classic Dead Alive and displays it to the letter. Right down to the laugh from the skull that ends p through a zombies head that is a direct sample of the laugh from the mutant zombie infant from Dead Alive. Great stuff. The rest of the movie is mere filler with some inside jokes and jabs at how stupid the characters act in zombie flicks with an instructional video or two for some assistance. Overall a fun flick that deserves more credit then it is getting.

"Zombieworld", by um, many directors, is a movie that mixes the anthology format with zombie blood and guts, and for me it turned out to be a winning combination, or at least a lot better than I was expecting from the cheapie box art. I don't think it's quite as bad as people are saying at all, the only thing that's really annoyingly wrong with it is the small budget, which is most obvious when it comes to the wraparound. This for me at least was a very pleasant surprise, it was the most fun I've had with a tacky independent horror effort like this in ages. While again it was the wraparound news segment that brought it down the most for me, most of the stories were of a surprisingly decent quality. It wasn't so much that it was a good anthology, but it was a good *zombie* anthology! And that seemed to me like a novel and original take on my favourite sub-genre, one that had never even crossed my mind before, and it's kind of a no-brainer I guess! I hope they someday also do ones on werewolves and Frankensteins and so on. Of course it's uneven, all anthologies are, I mainly liked it because it had two of my favourite action comedy horror shorts that I'd seen around before "Fist of Jesus" and "Brutal Relax", two completely insane little splatterfests of positively cartoon carnage which are practically the exact same thing, just with different scenarios. There were also a couple that were new to me that I found very good, I enjoyed "Home" it was a little more dramatic than the other tales, with the farmer woman alone trying to get through to her infected husband and in the end deciding to become like him by giving him a kiss... It was a little macabre and grim and I liked it. I also dug "Certified", it was cleverly put together and surprising - hint hint: It's all about a wicked little liar! And "Dead Stop" was okay, I found it eerie and interesting in its blandness. And the rest of it was fine I suppose, a little sloppy but overall there was enough good material in it to make it fun and well worth the time and effort that was made putting it all together. I don't especially find zombies all that fun anymore, I thought for a while that what really killed the zombie was over-saturation by a 1001 bargain bin undead movies like, well..this! But I did like this one a lot, it was a ray of 'sunshine' in a barren landscape. I also enjoyed to other zombie-type flicks around the same time, "13 Eerie" and "Savaged", so it wasn't a fluke.. The ending was cute and just what you might've been expecting with the sweaty anchor man becoming more and more zombie between each segment before finally going feral and devouring the camera man and gathering his wits enough to bid adieu to the audience! So I'm afraid it stands at a solid 8-out-of-10 happy shambling corpses fresh out of their coffins for me - a winner! Two thumbs up and a whole foot!

Extreme trash! I have never ever seen such trash. I think i can make a much better video. I regret that I ever wasted my time on this thing. When Jesus attacks zombie with a fish.There were some comedic ironical moments, but it's less than 1 minute on a hole movie.this movie is a pack of several trash movies. So if you want to waste your time and money - this is the best option. I think that authors of this need to a hospital to check their mind health. They are sick. The genre of this movie is not a comedy, fantasy, action or something else - the genre is trash.Please do not even waste your time. OK, if we are not speaking about the plot, but the quality...sorry, but my old mother would have done much much better. You can easily notice a moniken (Doll) in jeans and sweater when some zombies takes their legs. Extreme, rude artificial non realistic trash. There is no plot, even for short movies, there is no quality, there is no real producers. I would give even 1/10 for a low quality school work, but to give this to a public??? If IMDb would let - i would give -10/10
