The Zombie Club

The Zombie Club by JC Films is a movie about a group of kids that don't necessarily get along until something strange happens while they're in detention. They eventually get along and help each other out. Assuming the theme is about bullying being a dumb thing to do; the targeted audience is high school and middle school age kids. Though the movie had a good storyline, a few well-known actors, and a wholesome ending; there were a few faults within. First, the acting seemed quite scripted at times and didn't sound/feel natural. Secondly, the music choice was subpar. Some changes could be made to it, but I assume it's because it is a low budget film and rights to music are expensive. Third, some of the sound effects sounded a little bit off. When they were eating cookies, it sounded like they were eating chips. Along with the sounds being off a bit you could hear some static through the sound effects almost like they were recorded in a room without sound cancelation or a lot of reverb. Some points in the film had visual effects that went too crazy and were unnecessary. For example; when the kids' and the teacher were walking down the hallway when detention was over, the effects were too heavy but would have been fine if they didn't flash in and out. It just makes it corny and adds to the feel of a low budget movie. If the budget was a little bit bigger, I feel that this could be a lot better Overall, The Zombie Club was a good movie that was enjoyable much of the time. I do recommend it for a teacher or school looking to play a movie for their class or if you're just bored and want to get trapped into a good story.
