A friendly warning before starting things off; be aware of the fact
that this really isn't being a serious zombie/demon movie but more one
that is directed toward young teenagers. It does not only have the
visual look of a kids movie but it's also being a childish one with
comedy, characters, dialog and all of its situations.
It's a very infantile movie, in which there is never a sense of any
danger or tension, also since its main characters are extremely busy
with a whole bunch of stuff, such as getting the boy/girl and not
necessarily with trying to survive or lifting the curse, even while
clearly their lives are in danger and they have already lost some loved
ones.
The good news is though that it's not being an horrible movie to watch.
The movie does very little with its story, so it's also can't do an
awful lot wrong. You could say that its simplicity saved this movie and
still makes this a somewhat enjoyable flick, if you're in the mood for
it.
It's definitely being a weird thing that this movie looks and feels
like a children's movie, considering its premise and also its blood and
gore. But this in every way looks and feels like a Nickelodeon movie,
directed toward young teenagers. And it's not done in a satirically
kind of way! It's just the movie its style, which for sure shall throw
off a bunch of people already.
There is nothing wrong with a movie taking a more simplistic and comedy
approach to things, after all, basically 90% of all zombie flicks are
being extremely simplistic and straightforward ones but this movie just
never gets clever or truly creative with anything, which causes most of
its humor and situations to fall flat. Well, perhaps the movie is being
creative at times, however mostly in a silly and just not all too
effective way.
This movie is just being too simplistic and infantile to consider this
a truly good or enjoyable genre flick but thrust me, there are far more
worse genre movies to watch out there!
