Days of Darkness (2007)
Bad movie, but really funny if watched with low expectations
If you had high expectations for this movie, then I don't know how you got them, but that's too bad, because this is a BAD movie. I would have given it 2 stars, but this movie is so laughable that it's good. Obviously, it wasn't made to be funny; it was made to scare you. Well, they messed that up. Just watch the movie with a smile and be ready to make fun of all the dumb stuff. There's a lot of gross stuff, so if you're sensitive to gore and blood, then you probably shouldn't be watching a horror film anyways. The two biggest problems are the actors (the survivors) and the zombies. Well, that's everyone in the movie, so... yeah, everyone is bad in this movie. The dialogue seems like the screenwriter just handed the actors their lines and said, "Say this with emphasis." The characters never change personality. For example, Chad, the big tough guy with a shotgun is actually a wimp; but as soon you figure out that he's a wimp, he never stops being one. Additionally, there's one girl who can't stop talking about sex related things, and this weirdo who CONTINUALLY quotes things from the bible. They never change. There is no emotion for the characters; they're all just annoying and irritating. The zombies, oh, they're just dumb. This movie must have had such a low budget that sometimes, you can't distinguish a survivor from a zombie. The zombies have barely any zombie-ish characteristics, other than a blood splotch or something. During the zombie encounter scenes, the survivors get a bunch of blood on them, so then THEY look like zombies. The acting is dumb. I'm pretty sure I saw a jump cut or two when someone kills a zombie. I love this part after bible-boy opens the fence/gate, then the other guys have to fight the zombies. So this guy grabs a shovel to attack them, and what does he do with it? He just whacks them. The best way to describe it as if you were hitting a baseball starting from a bunt position. Well, I'll just let you find out the rest; I found this on Comcast On Demand, but it'll probably be off soon.
