Swamp Zombies - Phelous

Phelous' meta-on-meta humor was ahead of its time.

16:04 The dead are watching me _with my family, having ourselves a party_ perhaps this was all meant to be. I see them _just hanging out, hanging out. Hanging out_ outside in the tree, cuz' the dead are _hanging out with my family, having ourselves a party (a cool summer breeze)_

19:37- Fun fact: the music that plays in this scene is actually Blue Meanie's real life theme song from his WWE days. It's called "Here we go!" and was composed by Jim Johnson. You can tell this movie is bad because WWE couldn't be bothered to sue for copyright infringement!

[@Nekufan1000000]

This actually has the most realistic hand to hand against zombies I can think of. Zombies get stronger, yes, but they also lack balance and coordination. They would be really easy to toss around, provided you don't get cornered. Unless they're like the modern "infected" subtype that are just people with rabies. But that's not as fun. Rest of the movie looks like something a dog drops on the lawn though.

[@HolyApplebutter]

+Nekufan1000000 So, I'm not really going to spend a lot of time debating on the attributes of zombies, but why would zombies get stronger? Shouldn't they get weaker? You know, since they're a walking, rotting corpse?

[@TheKML777]

Your body unconsciously limits your strength to prevent damages. When you're a zombie, that limit is removed, making you physically stronger. At least, until you eventually decay.

[@planescaped]

No pain + no restraint = FALCON ZOMBIEPUNCH! Also, why Dan Severin? Why?

[@markcobuzzi826]

At least also in a franchise like Resident Evil, it would make sense for the "zombies" to become physically stronger than humans, since those are not really walking corpses, but rather people mutated in ghoulish monsters, that initially look and act like Romero's zombies, by a virus originally intended to create Tyrant supersoldiers. Aside from patches of their flesh necrotizing, as one effect of their genes not being compatible with the Tyrant Virus, they otherwise behave exactly like living creatures that happen to have superhuman strength/durability/healing/vitality.

[@leonardogomez8812]

But let’s being honest, zombies are as realistic as fairies. The undead via virus or otherwise are like cars without engines and fuel. Heck even if they’re not dead, they won’t really last long without the ability to drink water nor constantly running around trying to eat people without dying of exhaustion.

[@SuperjoeV1]

You know, you really need to cover more of Len's movies. They're a blast for all the right and wrong reasons.

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

It really feels like the over/underacting professor should be played by Joe Estevez.

[@GrimtheGilded]

I haven't seen anything about this in years. Some of it was shot where I live and I had an aquaintance that was an extra in it. Apparently the bulk of any budget they had went to the porn star and Dan the Beast appearing in it. I go to those beaches lol.

[@ToddHimself]

[@PunksterOS]

Ehan Viles Because it is awesome. ;)

[@madelinevandongen1192]

Because the mothers are watching you...

[@trunksrocks1]

+Ehan Viles They were probably trying to create a "chilling" tune that people will identify with the movie, like Jason Voorhees' "chchch" thing.

[@thekungachunga4578]

MetroidSigma Well, to be fair, they did at least succeed in that department somewhat. Albeit not for the reason they wanted it to.

[@jesusfreak777ize]

that part with the blood and the cookie is the best part.

[@Account_Not_Applicable]

I haven't watched this review in a long while and I'm just now realizing this is where that "the mothers are watching you" song came from. I always thought it was a joke song you came up with yourself or something (the singer also kinda sounds like Allison, so I figured it might have been an inside joke with one of her old reviews). It is a catchy tune tho. You should bring it back if the opportunity comes up in another review.

[@VidweII]

It's 'The Dead' by Victoria Galinsky. It's on Spotify.

[@madelinevandongen1192]

3:36 Porn and wrestling? Well, acting aside, she's probably more talented than most people in this film... It would have been a better (or at least more tolerable) movie if those talents were utilized if only to make it slightly interesting. Simultaneously if necessary.

[@KristSnyd]

seriously both of those jobs prepared her to fake an act.

[@anikmonette2140]

zombifiers Well, Cinema Snob doesn't seem to agree when I pointed out the exact same thing in one of his porn parody reviews... 😁

[@undeadgentalmen]

*Scoffs* Seen pornos with better production and acting.

[@SpeedyEric1]

About the Steven Stevenson thing, I actually knew someone in my grade in high school named Darin Daringer. No joke. 3:19- I actually been to college classes that were this size. Even if these morons were to make a Star Wars fan film that takes place on Degobah, they'll still fail to make it look like a swamp. 12:44- I think this shower scene needs a shower, 'cause it's one of the most dirty one I've ever scene. 13:54- And the title "Zombie Lake" was already taken. Everyone knows how to fight zombies? What the hell do they think this is, a Cynthia Rothrock movie?

[@wopjohn]

4:30 is that Mr Mackey from south park?

[@jasonkenn2187]

Looking for this comment

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

There actually was already a zombie movie called "Zombie Lake". :)

[@titangirl161]

This came from the Tommy Wiseau school of acting...and writing...and directing...and apparently they decided to let him behind the camera and edit the sound too

[@Jimenopolix]

Really funny how the bikini lady was given clothes to put on but didn't bother buttoning up the shirt. Either she wanted to leave some skin exposed or the director asked if she could stay that way. lol

That Park Ranger woman should have been the main character. Just an hour and A half of her fighting zombies.

Always nice to see a Len Kabazinski getting recognition, even if it is Phelous taking the p*ss a little.

[@Fabzabi]

I think the explorer guy at 4:32 was supposed to be a David Hatcher Childress parody. He's frequently seen on Ancient Aliens and does his own mystery exploration stuff and he talks exactly like that.

[@DragonHiss4]

I'm still convinced that the singer of "The Dead" is Obscurus Lupa in disguise.

23:54 What's the name of this song? Is it part of the movie's soundtrack? or is this just something Phelous added in?

It's called "Here we go!" and was composed by Jim Johnson.
