langallenreeves What a fun movie to watch. Similar in tone to Zombieland, although different story and characters, still similar in tone. Three slackers (a geek, a cool guy, and a rock&roller) are living as couch potatoes during the apocalypse. No explanation of how they survived, but zombies movies don't need explanations for everything. They're hanging out in house to house, watching dvds, playing video games, raiding the grocery store and music store, etc., killing zombies as they run into them. Then it's time to meet a hot chick scientist working on a cure*, so the guys can try to impress her.The characters and dialog are quirky, which really makes a good zombie for me. The effects were low budget, but still good, with some good fight scenes and gore. They used POV from the zombie being killed a few times, which makes it possible to not have to use any special effects, you just see the baseball bat, golf club and such coming down at you. Nice effect of leaving some of the gruesomeness to your imagination. As with ALL zombie movies, there are borrowed ideas from other movies. In a zombie movie, it's not about what you do, but HOW you do it. And they did well.SPOILER-I do have one complaint, however.....zombies that move slow for the entire movie, suddenly move fast at the end of the movie....uh, why? somethings should be explained, and that isn't. They needed the zombies to move fast in order for a scene to be thrilling, OK, i get that. But some kind of explanation would be good.*(many zombie movies work on finding a cure, after all, it's impossible for everyone to not eventually get bit, so a cure would be good to prevent the disease from taking over everyone-of course you can't help those already infected unless they're still in good condition maybe)

bamoore2 This movie was definitely not what I thought it was going to be when I bought this online. I expected a better quality film with a stronger plot. This film's acting was not very great at all, the quality of the filming was not very advanced either (come on guys.)a and the plot was very thin. Who wants to watch three guys run around. The fight scenes did not even look real one bit. It was funny at times, but I feel as if the movie was just an entire joke with some people messing around. Zombies farting? Really? I like zombie movies but this just was not up to standard.I would not recommend buying this movie, but if you must, rent it or watch it on Netflix.

Renaldo Matlin I'll admit it; the fun looking DVD cover fooled me into thinking I would love this. Well that and the fact that I normally worship anything with zombies and count George Romero as my God. Add on top of that the fact that "Last of the Living" was made in New Zealand, the country that brought us cult-classics "Braindead" and "Black Sheep" and I was soon hoping this could be one of those rare low budget zombie flicks with originality, real heart and soul.Sadly I was mistaken.Don't get me wrong. As far as low budget zombie romps go this is an OK time filler, but with a few major complaints: the characters are just plain uninteresting. With the exception of nerdy Ash the characters come off as paper-thin and downright boring. The film opens with scenes of 'Morgan' and for a while seem to focus on him as a type of "main" hero, which I couldn't get, since he seemed like a first-rate selfish prick, not to mention a bully to his friend Ash. Then there is the annoying soundtrack, a mix between public domain Apple software sound bytes and tripe rock music probably made by some friends of the director who he is doing his darnedest to promote here. The plot is so weak that not even a pimped up old Ford Cortina helps, although I'm sure the idea of such a car seemed awesome on paper. However, for some reason the shoddy directing, cinematography and overall production quality seem to greatly improve in the last 20 minutes. The film suddenly goes from slow-moving to fast-paced, even including some charming scene transitions! What happened there? Was it the sudden increase of an extra 40,000 dollars in the budget that the IMDb trivia talks about???One piece of warning to the people behind "Last of the Living": It's impossible not to notice a tag line on the DVD comparing it to "Shaun of the Dead". Woha, big mistake! By doing so you are automatically setting yourself up for one hell of a beating, and some helpful advice to the filmmakers: you won't gain any fans when you start off by insulting the greatest zombie comedy ever made! Where "Shaun" was laced with originality, first-rate acting, inspired directing and classic comedy moments, "Last of the Living" is dominated by an unoriginal plot (if you can call it a plot), so-so acting, average-at-best directing and only a couple laugh-out-loud moments (which both include fart jokes). But again, meh... being a sucker for zombie movies in general I'll give it 4 out of 10 stars thanks to the last 20 minutes and at least one credible performance from Ashleigh Southam as 'Ash' (but Bruce Campbell he ain't).

Michael-d-duncan Wow... So this film was so boring. I rented it because it looked like it would be up the same alley as Shawn of the Dead, but aside from zombies and jokes they are in NO way comparable.The production values were low enough to be a distraction for one. The acting was lame for two. The story was boring for three.. ugh! I spent five bucks to rent this film and I feel totally cheated. If I had ANYTHING else to do, I never would have finished it. I was happy when the credits rolled.Okay, I've ranted I feel better. So why a 3 star not a 1? It's not the worst movie I've ever seen. Also, there were on very seldom occasions a few laughs. Mostly the movie was just laughable though.DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
