3/18/2023 0 Comments Girl vs zombies![]() Dora Madison Burge's (Tommi, the gamer girl) performance in some scenes was definitely above average and Brad (Chip Joslin) was hands down my favorite character who if this had been a big budget Hollywood version definitely would have been played by Jack Black (not that Chip did a bad job, on the contrary, Brad wouldn't have sucked if Chip hadn't played the character the way he did). less than stellar, but most of it is OK). Most of the acting is in the range of average to slightly above average, very little of it is actually bad (there's a few of the supporting actors and a few scenes where the acting is. There are people involved here that know what they are doing, making a movie with average tools often yields a terrible result but here they've done a much better job than you might expect. Don't let "average" discourage you from giving HVZ a chance though, this is one of the movies where the cast and crew makes good enough use of what they have to make you wonder what they could have done if given a larger budget to work with. Pretty much everything used in the movie is in the range of below average to average, the script, the acting, the effects, etc. The script is decent which in zombie land means that someone actually made an effort here, it's coherent enough to not be intrusive but it wont win any awards. Humans Versus Zombies is not the best zombie movie ever but it's also not the worst movie ever made, it's actually pretty average, or at least not much worse (I watch anything with zombies in it, at least once, so I've seen a lot of really bad zombie movies.this is not one of them). ![]() Mostly it's about expectations, if you watch it expecting some multi billion $ academy award winning production you will be disappointed but if you watch it expecting the kind of movie you often get when you watch a movie that has a 3 star average on IMDb you will have a much better experience. Not because I found the movie to be exceptional in itself but because the previous reviews puts the movie in an unfair light. I will not reveal the ending, but having said what I just did, you can add two and two together, right?Īfter getting the opportunity to watch this movie I decided to write my very first review on IMDb. It is so non-Hollywood, with no happy endings and everyone living happily ever after. Oh, how I just love those kind of endings. The best thing about "Humans Versus Zombies" was the ending. The intro sequence, with the CGI effects, was actually really good. Let the movie get started, because the beginning was a tad slow. Now, the movie was actually fast paced and high on adrenaline, which was working in its favor. And as for the actors, then people actually were putting on good enough performances for a movie of this range - just don't expect award winning acting here. But hey, the actors worked well enough with the script they were given to their characters. There were moments where my toes were curled up in frustration and disbelief at what people said in given situations. "Humans Versus Zombies" did suffer from a really bad dialogue script. Personally, I am not a fan of agile zombies running around, but hey, that is a matter of preference. The zombie make-up was adequate, and some of the scenes with gore was actually quite good. Yeah, we get the point you like zombies, but tone it down a bit for the next movie, yeah? The effects in the movie were fair enough, not top notch million dollar Hollywood budget here, but still, it worked out well enough. ![]() One thing was so bad about this, yeah, we get that the director is into zombie stuff, but the excessive usage of zombie materials (t-shirts, books, posters, etc.) everywhere in the movie was just a little bit too much. I think for a low-budget movie, "Humans Versus Zombies" was actually in the better end of the scale. Jaynes, managed to do well enough with whatever funds and props were available. Sure it is a low-budget production, but the director, Brian T. "Humans Versus Zombies" wasn't as bad as people had it made up to be. But still, I did because I am a fan of all things zombies (and have seen/read a lot of bad zombie stuff in my time). Having read nothing but bad things about this movie, it was with a certain level of disinterest that I sat down to watch it. ![]()
