I love ninjas and I love zombies, but I don't love Ninjas vs Zombies; it's not that I hate the film, per se—I've seen much, much worse—but any film with such an amazingly awesome title yet such a low budget is almost always going to disappoint.

To really do such a cool concept justice, one would preferably have martial arts choreography by Donnie Yen, make-up effects by KNB, and visual effects from ILM. Director Justin Timpane's budget doesn't stretch that far, so what we actually get is fight scenes performed by a few guys from the local dojo, make-up and costumes from the fancy dress shop round the corner, and digital trickery courtesy of someone's home PC. Some of it works (the fights are reasonably fun), but most of it doesn't.

This, combined with a script that strives to be funny, but which frequently falls flat on its face thanks to poor delivery by an inexperienced cast, results in an admittedly brave attempt by a group of enthusiastic film-makers, but one that consistently betrays its amateur status.

I rate Ninjas vs Zombies 3/10, but generously bump it up a point for a couple of brief and utterly gratuitous moments of female nudity: Tara Moore flaunting her curves in skimpy underwear and a busty blonde giving full frontal in a blink and you'll miss it shot towards the end of the film.

Saw this at a local indie movie rental place, was expecting a blend of zombie horror with random ninjas thrown in. Didn't like the attempt at humor as it felt really cheesy; (one of those "hah we know we're a B- movie" so we'll just deliver the lines really bad). Don't get me started on the dialog.

I knew the production value wasn't going to be up there in quality, but the cinematography and overall feel made it look more suited for Youtube than my DVD player. I hate to be so blunt as I'm sure a lot of love and work went into this project... you have been warned though, go into this movie with very low expectations.

Picked this up for a pound under it's UK name 'Zombie Contagion'.

I wasn't expecting much when I read the reviews on here and finding out it's original name...Why change a winning sounding title (Zombies Vs Ninja's) for the above and give it a cover that has no real link to it.

It's actually quite a funny film with several moments actually making me laugh. OK so if your watching it expecting Zombie carnage you'll be disappointed...The make up and effects are poor...The acting is mixed but somehow it fits with the level the film is aiming for - You can also play spot the reference...

It's better than many straight to DVD Zombie flicks.

Ninjas vs Zombies (2008) is a horror movie, comedy, parody of the ninja genre and directed by Justin Timpane about seven people trying to stop a man named Eric who rose from his death. Because Eric has a lethal power to change people around him turns into Zombie. He also sucks the spirits of his victims .. Will the seven people can stop the chaos? I watched this movie through DVD a few minutes ago, the movie made me curious at the beginning of the movie but in the battle scene in the theater so boring, in the middle and end of the film so flat .. Its visual effects are so bad .. Acting is ordinary .. .... dialogue dialogue of the characters are so cheap, the characters in this movie so strange and do not have chemistry .... Do not waste your time to watch this movie ..... This movie is not creepy and not stressful at all .. .

I was aware of the making of this movie along the way and recently finally got a chance to pick up a copy at a local gaming store and was very happy with it.

I am a huge fan of the grade b horror set up and was a little concerned that this one may go to far for even me. Instead it turns out to be very funny. The entire idea from start to finish was well done. I will say the movie did feel like it dragged on towards the end and certain parts needed to be cut back on but over all it was great.

Do not go into this movie looking for horror and do not expect it to look like something filmed in Hollywood with a million dollar budget. However if you are able to look past the effects you will very quickly fall in love with this Kevin Smith style movie.

I cant wait to see what Justin comes up with next!
