I stumbled upon the 2018 movie "Better Off Zed" here in 2021, by sheer random chance. And with it being a zombie movie, of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch it.
And while "Better Off Zed" was watchable, it was by no accounts a particularly outstanding into the zombie genre, not even for a horror comedy. So why was that the case? Well, the storyline was just too mundane and uneventful. Very little happened throughout the course of the movie. And the characters in the movie weren't all that well-written or detailed. So writer Amy Tofte just didn't really bring much of anything to the game.
So it was somewhat of a prolonged ordeal to sit through "Better Off Zed", yet I managed to do so. I wanted to see if the movie got better, or if director Travis Stevens opted to make the movie more interesting. That is a big, fat no to both those things.
"Better Off Zed" is a zombie movie that came and went without as much as a groan, much less pack any bite. So don't get your hopes up for this particular 2018 movie, should you happen to sit down to watch it.
My rating of "Better Off Zed" lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.
