One of the Funniest Movies I've Ever Seen
When six people on their way to a wedding in Galveston stop over night in the small town of Lovelock, Texas, they find themselves in the middle of a zombie uprising. Technically, they are not zombies, but you still have to chop their heads off. Hilarity ensues.
The main character are each richly drawn and beautifully acted. The town is populated by the sort of persons you might actually encounter in rural Texas, all lovingly parodied. The country rap musical score is perfect. The zombies even provide their own tunes after the local band is possessed.
Anybody who does not burst out laughing when the zombies, to their own musical accompaniment, do a line dance prior to assaulting the boarding house must have no sense of humor.

Should be zero stars.
This movie is so terrible it's hard to explain. I saw this when it first came out, my brother rented it because it said Shaun of the Dead on the cover. My brother is fooled easily, that would have been the red flag that would have made me NOT rent this crap. I remember watching it and thinking, when does this get funny, when will I like a character, when will it get even a couple miles in range of being scary? This "movie", full of it's lame overdone plot and crap actors reciting crap lines is just another movie that should be forgotten by everyone. Sadly, "horror" fans will cling to this trash because the classics just aren't good enough. Don't rent this, don't buy this, don't even look at the cover! Don't make me regret wasting my time writing about this turd of a film. I wish I was a billionaire so I could buy every copy and burn them all!

You would want to see this one again
Okay, we rented this film for a laugh or rather a chuckle. We expected it to be as bad as the case said it would be: (paraphrasing) If you've ever seen a bad horror move, this one is worse.
Wrong. How very wrong. This film is good, even though it had the potential of being very bad.
One, the performers do a nice job because if they were bad, the movie would've been. Two, no one takes themselves or the film seriously-that important. The film is quirky and the director does nothing to hide that. Three, and this helps, there is no memorable bad language and nudity. Strangely enough this film carries itself-there's a plot which is followed logically to a conclusion.
Finally, you would want to see this one again. Also, the film is conveniently left with "sequel" potential, too. Now, sit back, relax and enjoy.
