Lee Eisenberg It was inevitable that someone was going to cross the so-called war on terrorism with zombies. As it turns out, they decided to mock homophobia in the process! "ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction" is the sort of movie that will only get viewed by people who have decided in advance that they're going to like it. The plot - amid a zombie apocalypse in a small town, an Iranian-American girl (who everyone thinks is Iraqi) gets assumed to be a terrorist, and a gay couple is about to come out to one of them's mom - sounds like something dreamed up by someone with too much time on his hands. But more than anything, I get the feeling that it's fun to play zombies.The movie is no "Shaun of the Dead", but makes no pretense about what it is. Janette Armand sure is a fox.

tmilton78 I really love Zombie movies which is why i though this would be a great movie.I was WRONG! I won't deny that there are some classic moments in this movie but only in context.The writing is weak and the effects are hilariously bad! Save this movie for when you are drunk, really bored, or having a B movie party!Obviously the writers of this movie had some opinions about the war in Iraq, gay conversions, terrorists, and an assortment of American ideals.Seriously, can you expect people to take your inspirational speeches about national pride and community solidarity after a zombie eats their own eyeball?!

Ben Larson Islamic terrorists, homosexuals and zombies seem to be a strange combination for a supposed horror film. In her first role, Janette Armand plays Frida, an Iranian born in the small town of Port Gamble. She is taking a break from Princeton when the zombie outbreak occurs. Being that the film takes place right after 9/11, who do you think gets blamed? Especially, when the yahoos (Russell Hodgkinson) can't tell the difference between Iraq and Iran, neither of which was involved in 9/11, by the way.Meanwhile, Lance (Cooper Hopkins) is trying to get Tom (Doug Fahl) to come out to his mother (Linda Jensen). When he finally gets up the nerve to tell her, they have to kill her because she has been bitten. But, of course, they can't kill her because she is a zombie!Crazy preachers with reparative therapy, racism against Middle Easterners, gore, and blood expected in a zombie movie, and likable leads all make for an enjoyable time, even if it was cheaply made.

siderite A movie about a small town during a zombie outbreak is turned into a comedy when people, convinced it was a terrorist attack, start showing their ugly sides: homophobia, ignorance, blood lust, right wing politics, liberal politics, any politics, etc.This could have been a really cool movie. It was obviously low budget, with bad acting on top, but that hasn't stopped others. The problem lies in the plot. When it's ironic, it's not funny; when it's bloody, it's not scary; when it shows the stupidity of small town folk, it's so exaggerated that it cycles between scary and gross. There were some funny ideas there: the Iranian family that is always mistaken for Iraqi, just because that's what's most on the news, or some of the gay antics of the two New Yorkers returned to come out to the mother of one of them, but now I am really trying to find more funny moments and I can't.Bottom line: this is one of those movies that show the power of a good title. Who could resist a movie called Zombies of Mass Destruction? It's such a powerful title that a second part is in production for 2011. The movie though, it really was lame and failed in any direction worth exploring. Similar to some of those murderous inbred family movies where you get to see a lot of rednecks acting badly instead of true horror, it was just a waste of time.
