Review:
The film follows Doobie Jones, a man on parole trying to find employment to avoid jail time. He decides to bring friends over for a party when he "accidentally" drops a entire box of rat poison in some food for the guests. Soon, the guests turn into zombies and they must stop them from a "Zombie Hoodpocalypse".
The sad thing is the only 2 funny things in the movie is a picture in a frame that randomly changes reactions and a ridiculous moment involving the Michael Jackson Thriller dance, however that doesn't make up for the fact these moments happen over a hour into a 97 minute movie.
The films biggest fault is the director thinks everything Doobie says it's funny, but instead he comes off as a immature man child that makes him almost unbearable to watch at times. What makes it worse is almost every scene has Doobie in the film, so that weighs the films fun factor down HARD. Literally every female character is Also the dialogue is riddled with unnecessary exposition every time people talk to one another, and topped with wooden acting from every single character on screen. All of the female characters have no characterization other than sexualized almost portrayed as objects for Doobie and the other males.
Texas Voodoo Zombies has one isolated funny moment but doesn't make up for the other 96 frustrating minutes. The dialogue is awful and the acting is even worse and has a very sexist mindset. To put it simply, this film is dead on arrival with no soul in sight.
