Diagonaldi Very well executed

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

EllenRipley112 I checked this hidden gem out in my quest to watch every zombie movie ever made. Not only was I slightly disappointed to learn these were NOT Romero zombies, but come to learn the title is misleading--NO ONE was a Zombie for the FBI. A campy romp down memory lane to the "g-men" and "sci-fi" movies of the 40's and 50's, 2 straight-laced FBI agents are on the trail a pair of gangster brothers supposedly lost on their way to prison. When the prisoners' plane crashes into a UFO, they become the pawns of evil aliens that are "zombifing" the local residents of Pleasantville by tainting their cola drinks. With the help of a lovely reporter (who is also the fiancé of one of the g-men) and a brilliant scientist, the g-men race against time to stop both the gangsters and the aliens from escaping justice. The "zombies" are the local townspeople--the aliens "zombify" them with the "Z-ball", and those who cross their paths meet up with the dreaded "Zmonster". If it weren't for the CONSTANT music in the background, I might have enjoyed this a bit more, but it was a valiant effort nonetheless. One of those movies that "could have been SO much better."

kdzuray Out with the old n with the new...I like this movie because of its rare style similar to the lost skeleton of cadavra.Great no name cast.an speaking of namesI thought the raspberry brothers should have used their real names.though I have read a few reviews that hated this DVD because of the changes what not in the film or score, but I think the f.b.i had something to do with this, so its the politics of DVD they should be upset with.a classic si fi treat.

jeffreywj I am probably like most everyone else who will buy the DVD version of this movie. We all saw it broadcast several times on USA Network's Night Flight program back in the mid-eighties. It was a wonderful low-budget homage to 50's style monster movies with a bunch of no name actors who I haven't seen since. The only person of note was Larry Raspberry who played the second lead. He was from what I can gather something of a sensation in the music industry for a short time in the mid-sixties. I have a taped copy of the movie that I have had for more than twenty years now and still pull it out periodically.I started out by watching the extra features that spoke about the making of the film, the stop action procedures used in the film and so forth. I was pretty excited about watching a crisp new DVD copy of this wonderful memory of mine.Unfortunately, whom ever decided to get this released on DVD decided it needed a complete makeover. The most obvious and most annoying part of the makeover is the inclusion of a complete new soundtrack that not only adds more sound effects but also a brain pounding musical score that will drive you nuts. In the audio setup you have the choice between a version 2.0 or 5.1 soundtrack. I thought the 2.0 might be the original but no such luck. In the small documentary a sound engineer was commenting that he knows he did a good job on sound and music when the audience doesn't know he's there. He failed miserably this time.I was seeing a whole lot of extra stock footage that I didn't remember from the eighties version. At first I thought maybe this may have just been trimmed out to reduce the film to a better time format for TV. That is until we got to the airplane crash scene. When the two agents pulled up a piece of the damaged aircraft, what should have been the dismembered hand was a new shot of a full corpse either burnt or eaten to the bone. It was obvious this is a recently shot piece and added in. There were also added cloud and fog effects that were not in the original. And I thought the view of the UFO was more of a ball of light effect instead of an obvious flying saucer. Then there were added scene cards detailing each chapter of the film.I was very dis-satisfied with how this DVD turned out. So much so that I have decided to keep my twenty year old recorded copy of this film. I think this company should re-release the original film on DVD and send me a free copy for having wasted my money on this one. I still love this film, but not the DVD version.

mahatmarandy This movie used to show up a lot on Night Flight in the mid-to-late 80s, and I gave it a go since a lot of their stuff was avant garde or at least interesting. This was just space filler, however, not cheezy enough to be fun, not bad enough to be funny, not funny enough to be memorable, not anything enough to be anything. It gets some honorable mention points from me for a low-budget indie film attempting to be a period piece, but the story is utterly incoherent, the acting is entirely forgettable, and really, aside from them irritatingly running this on Night Flight 8 or 9 times a season when they couldn't find anything better to put on, I doubt anyone would remember it at all.
