It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This was one movie I wanted to watch, only because it had Russell Hodgkinson (Z Nation) as one of the main roles. Needless to say, this movie was a waste of time, talent and budget. The only other movie that seemed to be quite similar was the 2003 Aussie film, Undead, only this one was cheesy, disappointing and a complete waste of my life. If you want a move that will put you to sleep, then go ahead and watch this snoozefest.

Zombies of Mass Destruction is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be a "B" Sci-Fi channel movie but it wasn't even that good. There was really no plot, no point, poorly developed characters, and just an overall bad attempt at a movie. Don't ever watch this movie unless you want to laugh at a poor excuse for anything. I literally felt like I was watching a soap opera with zombies. I will tell you right now, Zombies of Mass Destruction gets the WillyT Seal of DISapproval. There really is no story so I will just rant and talk about what was wrong with this movie. A gay man and his boyfriend go to his mother's house to come out of the closet. He tries to find the words and when he finally does his mother is already a zombie. How was this possible? There was no zombie to begin within the house. And if a zombie did take a bite out of her why would it just leave? Wouldn't it just finish the job? This movie just makes no sense at all. The son ends up pinning her up against the wall. She escapes, of course, and the two decide to make a run for it. One grabs a weed whacker and just goes to town. A young woman comes home and she is Iranian, I think, and her neighbors are racist white trash. She goes on a date with some guy and he ends up being the first one bitten. "It's my blood." He screams as he bleeds out. I lost it. It was too funny. This has to be the worst special effects I have ever seen in a zombie movie. The movie itself starts with a blind man poking around and he stumbles upon a zombie and he inevitably gets eaten. It was the stupidest beginning to a movie. I'm not going to lie. I turned this movie off. After the girl goes into the basement with the white trash family, the wife gets bitten, and on the news we find out that the zombie attack is because of Iraq. That's right, Iraq has the ability to create the walking dead and they attack the United States. The family ties the girl up and the last thing I see if her father running around with a shotgun looking for his daughter. Now, the one good thing I will say about this movie is that it is so bad, it's almost good. I can't really say that without laughing but throughout this movie I laughed a lot. Was I supposed to, I have no idea but I did. The crazy father disapproves of his daughter's boyfriend and when he sees him on the street as a zombie, he blows his head off with a shotgun. That is where I lost control and could not put up with this disaster anymore. Never watch this movie. Not even if you are drunk or higher than a kite. I'm not even sure if this movie is real.

Behind this film's rather dumb sounding title lies a smart little post-9/11 zombie comedy in which outrageous splatter is combined with religious and political satire; it's a risky mix, but one that writer/director Kevin Hamedani successfully pulls off, his film effectively driving home such profound messages as being true to oneself and tolerance for all, as well as emphasising the importance of a clean head-shot!Janette Armand plays US-born half-Iranian hottie Frida, who returns to her home town of Port Gamble just as a mysterious zombie plague takes hold of the small island community. As talk turns to the possibility of a terrorist attack, Frida becomes the subject of suspicion by small-minded islander Joe Miller (Russell Hodgkinson); meanwhile, gay couple Tom and Lance (Doug Fahl and Cooper Hopkins) seek sanctuary with a small group of churchgoers, only to find the fear and bigotry within almost as dangerous as the zombies outside.In taking swipes at small-minded small-town Americans and knocking religion, this film will naturally have no shortage of critics, but with its traditional, slow-moving zombies, bickering survivors, wry sense of humour, and insightful social commentary rubbing shoulders with well executed graphic gore, I actually found Zombies of Mass Destruction to be rather reminiscent of George Romero's original ' ...of the Dead' zombie trilogy—which isn't a bad thing in my book.

This is your typical zombie film, but compared to a lot of other zombie films, I would have to say that this one really stands out from the hordes (pun intended). The basic premise of the story is something like this: A woman running for mayor, a homosexual couple trying to come out of the closet, a father and daughter from Iran (not Iraq) come together with a band of religious folk during a zombie outbreak. There's a lot of room for hilarity, and a lot of room to send a message in this basic premise. Of course, it never really gets there, but it does play with the possibilities. In many ways, the film kind of leaves me with blue balls, because I really felt upon watching it, that this could be awesome. It could've turned out to be extremely funny, and a zombie classic to stand right up there alongside Shaun of the Dead. Sadly, that is not the case, as the film simply doesn't go as far as it could've gone. One of the biggest pluses is that the characters are extremely well-written, and come across as pretty nice people. In fact, one of the biggest pitfalls of B-movies is that the characters don't seem like real people, but rather machines to be put out for torture. These characters actually seem like people, and that's a massive plus.In terms of the cinematography, this film looks pretty good. If you're expecting 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead remake-like blood, guts and gore, you'll be disappointed. There are some special effects, but there aren't a ton of them. I don't think they had the budget to make the special effects a huge thing, but I certainly do think that with the budget they had, this film looks pretty damn sweet. Good cinematography, good editing - overall pretty well done technically.All in all, it's a film with great potential that doesn't quite live up to its potential. The story could've used some tightening up, and if they really tightened up the script and got a stronger theme out of it, this film could've been a low budget classic.
