Hide and Creep

Asylum Home Entertainment.

This is the type of movie that I love - a b-movie that has a sense of its own identity, doesn't take itself too seriously, and doesn't depend too heavily on the gore factor.

Righteously enough, it does have its fair amount of blood n guts - it's a good ZOMBIE movie.

Basic plot - small town deeply imbedded in Alabama, taken over by zombies, and some of the more fortunate (and intelligent) folk simply don't put up with them kindsa goins-on.

NOTE: the video store clerk's lines definitely read like something out of Clerks, and I would suspect that the writer of this movie is a giant fan of Kevin Smith. Not that it's bad - those lines are some of the funniest of the movie; however, the resemblence is unmistakable.

Plotwise - the "alien probe," used as a humourous smirk at both the beginning and at the end - good for a slight smile, but really did nothing for the plot. The twist-bite at the end was a good grimace, as it actually brought a sense of serious and sadness to the movie - it left the viewer with something a little bit more than just the standard "stomp-kill-smash!"
