Re: Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse - Halloween

I'm a fan of Tye Sheridan and zombie flicks so I'll give this a shot even though the trailer doesn't impress me much.

Re: Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse - Halloween

I was going to say, kind of has a feel of an American Shaun of the Dead type movie crossed with your average crazy teen party movies like Superbad or Project X. However, I see a UK website, so not sure if this is a UK or US movie (actors sound American). Either way, could be a fun movie, but more of a Netflix/Redbox type movie and not something I would pay $10 to see.

This is opening this week and is following the Paranormal Activity model. Only select theatres and then moving to VOD soon after.

I guess I know what I'll be doing on Halloween, would much rather see this than be at home with no lights on in my house so kids wont knock on my door.

Saw this last night. Typical teen movie but had some good laughs with a few that I was surprised that they went there. Nothing really scary, but they go for the jump factor, so I felt like I was always waiting for it.

Saw it yesterday. As was noted it's more jump scares, Gore and some boobs. Cloris Leachman has an amusing cameo. Yeah, big plot holes but it's a zombie movie and kinda fun but a bit predictable. Still, not a bad way to spend 90 mins.

So how does it stack up against Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil? The trailers look like it is a similar vibe and I was surprised at how good T&D was.

It doesn't - Tucker has more laughs in 15 minutes than this does in 90.
