Reviews:
” … the effects in Zoombies are expectedly bad, but the bigger problem is how rarely the film relishes in the silliness of it all. There are a small handful of inspired moments throughout, including an homage to the chest-burster scare from Alien and a scene wherein a young girl’s stuffed animal literally comes to life, but Zoombies is seldom as fun to watch as it should be.” John Squires, ConTV.com
Choice dialogue:
Doctor Gordon: “I don’t give a damn about protocol! This animal must live.”
