Dave: Review for ZMD

“Dim the lights. Bingo night is cancelled.”

ZMD was a bit unlike any zombie movie I have ever seen.  While it had some legitimately cool scenes and a good sense of humor, I found the film to be a bit slow and preachy. Our heroine spent most of the movie tied to a lawn chair, it was a full half hour before a zombie attacked anyone, and too much time was spent on trashy white people hating on Iranian-Americans. There is a time and place to make a political statement. A zombie film is not one of them.

The film gets bonus points for being set in my home state of Washington. Washington is probably best known as the setting for Twilight, so anything to remove that stigma gets kudos from me. I also give props for the use of a weed whacker to kill zombies, a good face peeling/eating scene, and a zombie child having its head blown off. Frida is also pretty hot.

An unnecessary terrorist link and borderline boring action scenes earn this film 2 Iranian Head Rips out of 5
