ATTACK OF THE SOUTHERN FRIED ZOMBIES

ATTACK OF THE SOUTHERN FRIED ZOMBIES

Film Review by FIORE

Bad cinema lovers rejoice.  ATTACK OF THE SOUTHERN FRIED ZOMBIES is chock full of bad acting, horrible dialogue, cool make up effects, ridiculous plotlines, a lack of continuity and questionable production values – all combined in ninety minutes of celluloid chaos.  ATTACK OF THE SOUTHERN FRIED ZOMBIES isn’t as bad as SHARKNADO, which is prepping for its sixth sequel, but it’s pretty close.

 

Myriad elements have been blamed for the zombie apocalypse, from government experiments to bad burgers in Philly, but ATTACK OF THE SOUTHERN FRIED ZOMBIES blames the scientists attempting to grow better food through GMOs and herbicides.  The producers even thank those same scientists in the end credits.

Originally, the movie was called the KUDZU ZOMBIES, but the producers realized only a certain section of the country would know what a kudzu was, hence the name change.

Where do I start?  Continuity is non-existent.  The town’s mayor is killing zombies with a guitar.  He drops the instrument, picks up a gun and begins shooting them.  Next scene, though he is across town, he has the guitar back.  Go figure.

The producers didn’t receive the permits to close the streets down, so while the town is under siege by zombies, you can see normal everyday traffic going by in the background.  In several scenes, the commuters begin rubber-necking at the production, causing a minor traffic jam.  Epic. 

ATTACK OF THE SOUTHERN FRIED ZOMBIES takes place, and was shot in Charleston, Mississippi.  It stars Escalante Lundy, Chris Monroe, Moses Moseley, Michael Emery, Michael Joiner and Susan and Johnny McPhail.  The Director is Mark Newton, and Christian Hokenson polished the screenplay, though he may not want that known.

Zombie movies have run their course.  Unless you’re playing the genre for laughs, like SyFy’s Z-NATION or ASH VS THE EVIL DEAD, they are, generally, a waste of time.  ATTACK OF THE SOUTHERN FRIED ZOMBIES not only lampoon’s the zombie flicks, but also lampoons the lampoons.  If you love bad cinema and can’t wait for the next installment of SHARKNADO, ATTACK OF THE SOUTHERN FRIED ZOMBIES will keep you satisfied in the interim.
