The Coed and the Zombie Stoner (2014)

this movie was pretty terrible the only reason i watched it was because it was on sale and i usually try to watch all the bad stuff before i watch anything that i would actually like watching. For example (Spoiler Alert) they took two of the most random items to undo the zombie virus. the actually turn one of the male students into a female student who later on began a relationship with a school teacher who witnessed the transformation. Like how are 5 college students that do nothing but party or do homework going to supp up a car to become a death machine. Like they had machine guns on this thing, unless someone was going to pull a columbine on the college i don't see it being possible. Anyway i do not recommend this movie to anyone unless bad movies is what you're interested

The good news is, The Coed and the Zombie Stoner is not an irredeemable movie by all means. It at least knows what it is and what it's trying to do and be, which is always a good thing after seeing many movies recently that don't. It's very silly, but there is a simple sense of fun and charm when it doesn't get too random, at least there aren't any awkward tone shifts or a completely-different-movie feel. There were some fairly neat touches, notably the 28 Days Earlier on-screen caption(not an original one but will raise a smile) and one external review talks of Rigo's hand wiggling reminding them of Wallace and Gromit and I agree with that. Grant O'Connell is engaging and pretty likable, the best actor in the cast and Rigo is the only character we get close to caring for. The production values are not great, neither are they amateurish. Coed and the Zombie Stoner does have its fair share of problems. A lot of the script apart from some endearingly silly parts does feel and sound like a rough draft and really could have done with a few more re-writes. The story gets off to a very slow and dull first 15 minutes and while the pace picks up and there are signs of a story(and one that feels like the movie knows who it's aimed at) the structure often does feel too random and chaotic, with its fair share of repetition too; there is also some inoffensive nudity and the like that wasn't cheap as such but you did wish they toned down a bit. Apart from O'Connell the acting while eager does scream of inexperience, Catherine Annette is a very pretty girl but her constant talking/yapping got very annoying after a while. And of the characters the only one that is close to being developed is Rigo, most of them were very cardboard and others like Chrissy got on my nerves. The direction also shows some inexperience but there were glimpses of potential so it was not a hack job. The music has some nice moments but was a bit too constant and repetitive in other spots. Overall, neither a good or terrible movie, aspects are lame while other aspects were reasonable. 5/10, though in honesty the movie was not an easy one to rate without being too harsh or generous.

The thing about watching a movie with the words "Coed" and " Zombie Stoner" in the title is that you have to know what to expect. I was well aware that I was not going to sit down to watch "The Godfather Part 2" or even "Shaun of the Dead". In being real with myself and my expectations the results was that I really enjoyed the movie. In a couple of words, I liked the movie. It is the perfect movie if you need a break from the humdrum of your daily life. The life of sitting at a computer, in a cubicle, under florescent lights, where the highlight of the week is getting a piece of cake from some co-worker's birthday party. A co-worker who I might add may not need to eat any more cake. No judgment! Just an observation. And by "party" I mean stopping by and getting a piece of cake. Back to the movie: The Coed and the Zombie stoner was amusing and entertaining to watch. The ridiculous, SMH, WTF kind of humor was appealing in that just go with it kind of way. There were a couple things in the movie that were unexpected and it seemed to not dwell on any theme or scene too long, which is what a true stoner would need while watching. Also, I think it was a nice break from the traditional flesh falling, no personality, super serious zombies that we are used to seeing. Fun Loving, weed smoking, sex-having, party-going Zomies are the way to go!

Firstly I'm not sure why that as I write MY review there is only one other review giving this movie 2 stars, but IMDb give the rating a 5.7.Anyway, you need to go into this film knowing it's going to be stooopid. This will save a lot of time thinking you're going to see Citizen Kane.That said, this movie is very good in a screwball dumb sort fo way.It's surprisingly well acted and very very well directed.In fact, so well directed that the action just keeps moving and you don't get bored.Plus there's a real good dose of hot T&A.So even though this film is crazy dumb, it keeps your interest. I will admit, about the halfway point (library) things get a wee bit long in the tooth...But then it takes four weird turns and you're back in the bag.Great twists right up till the end.As I say, it's a goofy movie not meant to be taken seriously. And it does it really really well.The PlotWhen a nerdy sorority girl falls in love with a zombie, it's only a matter of time before a zombie apocalypse is unleashed on campus. The sorority girl discovers that weed is the cure--now she must smoke out the entire school before it's too late.
