Zombie Farm (2007)
Writer: B. Luciano Barsuglia
Synopsis: Hell has been unleashed on the small town of Muerto Verde when inbred cannibal farmers are turned into zombies after Taliban warriors poison the local water supply. The only hope for humanity are two FBI agents and four party-crazed college students.
Old MacDonald had a farm, e, i, e, i ,o,

1) ACTING: The acting in this "B" movie spectacular is pretty good! While there are some actors that are better than others, the way this film is done, the viewer almost expects it, and it doesn't take away from the movie at all.
2) PRODUCTION: I was very pleased by the production values. This is a film where you would expect rubber zombie masks and pink blood, but it isn't here. The blood and gore is VERY plentiful, and the CGI is pretty good. While there were some minimal lighting issues, other parts of the film, such as filming, the soundtrack and special effects are really well done.
3) ZOMBIES: A few changes here for our undead friends; they can only exist for 72 hours, then they are dead again for good. Also, the zombies can be killed just like a human being can. Stabbed, set on fire, hit by a car, whatever can kill us can kill them. If this were a "serious" zombie movie, such as Romero's works, those aspects I mentioned, to me, would seem to lessen the threat of the zombies, since they have a time limit and are easy to kill. But, in this "Zomedy," the changes don't really seem to cause to much grief to the viewer.
4) THE CAUSE: Terrorists poison the local water supply.
5) NUDITY: None.
FINAL: I really had fun watching this movie. I really think that this would have been great to see in a crowded movie theater. I can really see this becoming a staple of the "midnight movie" circuit. I think the best thing concerning this "B" flick indie, is that the producers KNOW it's a "B" flick indie and approached the making of this movie with arms wide open. They weren't trying to make 'Gone with Wind' for zombie aficionados. They were trying to make a fun filled trip to zombieland. And they succeeded. So, hurry up, people! It's time to head down to the farm!
RATING: 4 out of 5
