Wasting Away

“Zombies Are People Too!”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 68, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Four friends eat contaminated ice cream and become zombies without understanding why everybody else is frightened. The film switches perspective to let its undead leads retain a very different picture of events. Also known as Aaah! Zombies!!, it is a modest comedy with a genuinely useful central trick.
