Movie Review

There's a long scene where the excavation crew encounters a bunch of Mexican drug dealers, and the situation goes south very quickly, and the way the scene played out was pretty fantastic. It's easily the best scene in the whole movie, and that scene alone made the movie worth watching.

It almost feels like a stage production or a LARPing session captured on film. I'm not really sure who this movie is for. Is it for action fans or gore hounds? Maybe a little of both, but neither will be entirely satisfied.

Fido and Warm Bodies cross-pollinated with Disney's High School Musical series has created this incredibly obvious agenda piece, and with a constant barrage of song and dance numbers and squeaky clean horror tropes (the zombies eat cauliflower mixed with brains), Z-O-M-B-I-E-S emerges as one of the most bizarre movies I've seen in awhile.

Forbidden Power goes so far above and beyond using what it has that it manages to tell a story in a colorful and gripping way. Paul Kyriazi's return to film is an exciting one, and it is hoped that the lead actors return for many new projects to come, as well.
