Dead at the Box Office (2005)

This film, shot entirely on location at a movie theater, makes us rethink what it means to be a zombie - must one be an actual undead human, or can the definition extend to those who have been hypnotized into being whatever the media tells them to be? As we see the theater staff overtaken with the idiocy around them, one begins to wonder - are we just puppets, and if so, who is the real villain pulling our strings? "Dead at the Box Office" aims to answer this and other important questions about American life, including what happens when panicked law enforcement agents attempt to deal with something they simply don't bother trying to understand. Ten stars!

while this film might not be technically perfect (there are problems in particular with the sound) or cinematically profound (the acting can be a bit clunky at times), it's otherwise a great low-budget zombie flick. the script is well-paced, well-written, and full of cult film in-jokes that the horror or b-movie buff will definitely enjoy. (i suspect anyone who's ever worked in a movie theater will also suitably entertained, as the entire film is set in a small, struggling theater and makes good use of both the physical setting and the overall atmosphere.) the make-up and special effects are extra gory and above average for a DIY film. the soundtrack and incidental music are also great... i watched it last night and can't get the closing song out of my head! look for an amusing cameo by lloyd kaufman.

Most original INDIE horror comedy I have seen yet! We need more horror comedy! Keep up the good work guys! This movie needs to be remade on a big budget level and I hope Hollywood takes a good hard look at this and makes it happen. Knowing this movie was made on a shoestring budget makes a person appreciate all the hard work and effort it takes to make a movie. Most norms out there have no idea how much dedication, time, and personal expense a movie takes to make. It takes a lot of dedicated friends and help to make it happen. These guys appeared to have all of that and hats off to them for getting the chance to make their dream come true. Anyone who bashes efforts made on this level should be ashamed of themselves! Those out there that undermine INDIE movies are basically envious morons who are too lazy to get off of their dead butts and do the same. If you did you would appreciate ALL Indie movies. Good luck guys and keep true to your dreams!

I can honestly say that I'm not usually a big fan of zombie movies. I felt compelled to see it being that I was a part of Shawn's RHPS cast. I do have to say that Dead At The Box office was a great movie in my eyes. For the budget that they had, it had great special effects. I got to hear all about how it was made, and I was impressed with the quality performance. Granted it's a B-movie, but so was RHPS, and look how that turned out. I say to anyone that doesn't like it, maybe give it a second chance, or a third. It's a fantastic movie, has a decent plot, and is quite original. It definitely opened up my eyes to other zombie movies.Sammi C.
