That was an excellent one.
So much average
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
A woman goes to previously all-male boarding school on a scholarship. She begins to separate herself from her boyfriend in order to devote more time to her new environment. Over a course of time she notices that more and more students have lost their individuality, and approach their activities in a lifeless and automatic manner.The most notable thing about this film is the pairing of two cult actresses: Sherilyn Fenn ("Twin Peaks") and Virginia Madsen ("Candyman"), as well as producing legend Cassian Elwes. Beyond that, the movie is largely forgettable.Honestly, I think the worst part of the movie is the title. There is little inspiration that could have made such a bland title, and the film deserves better. Indeed, the first half exudes the 1980s horror sensibility and many fans of that era will like this one. It goes a bit downhill later on, but overall could have acquired a bit of a cult following with a better name and maybe a minor tweaking of the script.
Young woman (Virginia Madsen) wins scholarship to an all male prep school that is slowly going coed. However upon arrival, she notices that the students are acting weird, almost zombie like. As she investigates what is going on, she slowly learns the faculty is kidnapping the students and stealing there brain tissue so they can live forever. They then put a chip in the students mind that keeps them alive, but removes whatever personality they had before.Slow moving horror film with a good score and appealing performances, but hurt by standard premise, routine direction, bad ending, no scares, and little humor. Rated R; Mild Violence, Adult Themes.
"Zombie High" begins badly and the first half is kind of dull. But I was surprised to discover that it actually improves as it goes along, turning into a mildly entertaining little thriller. Its premise may be goofy, and it does require some suspension of disbelief, but so does the premise of the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" films, which share some common ideas with this one. The female cast is attractive, and Madsen's performance is way above average for this genre. Add a genuinely mad, determined villain and you have a more-than-passable film.
This film is according to me not only about zombies it is actually made by them. Unbelievbly stupid, boring, sick movie, made by and directed by zombies.
