Review:

I came across Zoombies on Amazon Prime and after a quick look at the movies poster and plot summary I just knew it was gunna be one of those movies that unintentionally makes you laugh.

The movie takes place in a ZooAnimal sanctuary that's still undergoing renovations before it opens to the public. The story follows a group of new interns and zoo staff as they try to survive against a zoo full of zombie animals that originally starts out as just a few zombie monkeys but the monkeys quickly spread the virus to the other animals and it's not long before the zoo is overun with Zombie Apes, lions, Giraffes and even Koala bears. The group struggle to survive as they try to keep the virus from spreading to the bird aviary and infecting the birds which could potentially infect the outside world.

The idea of a zombie virus infecting a bunch of zoo animals sounds like the recipe for a wacky horror movie that sees a bunch of people get killed and eaten in some weird and interesting ways. That's the idea I think the director Glenn Miller was going for but sadly this a very low budget movie so what we actually get is a movie filled with horrible acting, cheap looking CGI, a couple of action scenes and about fifteen minutes of pointless dialogue placed throughout the film just to get the movie to an hour and twenty minutes.

The movie uses CGI for almost all of the animals and looks incredibly cheap and ugly. The practical "effects" aren't much better you've got a man in a fake looking gorilla costume with padded slippers on. The zombie giraffes are CGI in some scenes but when they attack are replaced by hand puppets where you can actually see the guys arm in the shots. There's actually a scene where three of the characters ride CGI elephants the camera only shows the top half of the actors bodies but you can see in the backgrounds that they are just standing on the ground pretending to ride the elephants it's hilarious. The scenes where the zombie animals attack are just hilarious one scene shows two giraffes ripping a guys arms off but there's no blood they just green screen his arm off while he's floating in mid air.
