A film that cannot quite decide what it is and, like the average schizophrenic, moves in different directions simultaneously. Not funny enough to be a true comedy; not scary enough to be a true horror, it relies on buckets of blood for its impact. The plot is inconsistent and merely serves to provide excuses for the increasing bloodshed.
The cast struggle as best they can with underdeveloped stereotypes instead of characters. The script is happy to avoid the kind of figurative associations with sexual appetite and flesh-eating zombies that would have made the mayhem a useful metaphor for adolescence. It, thereby, also avoids being emotionally involving since the love story does not really come to life – only the zombies do.
Still, it is all good fun and only lasts an hour and a quarter so will not take up too much of your valuable time.
