Corona Zombies: the terrible movie we might just need right now - MW

Last month I told you about the trailer for Corona, a film that has been formed, written and filmed since the first times of Covid-19. At the time, it seemed like an incredible feat, like it would undoubtedly be the first coronavirus movie that any of us would ever watch. However, I'm afraid to tell you that it was hit for a punch. Because, at that time, another coronavirus movie was written and filmed. Moreover, it was released on Friday. The world, meet Zombie Zombie.

In fact, Corona Zombies hardly qualifies as a movie. It's only an hour long and you can only watch it by signing up for the Full Moon Feature streaming service (other available movies include Evilbong 666 and Swedish Boarding Student). But, screw it, it still counts. And now that you have a lot of time on your hands, maybe you should watch it.

Revolving around 28 days with every member of the cast and the crew isolating themselves, Corona Zombies is really the result of a skillful light of hand. It only has one actor - Cody Renee Cameron, the last time playing a prostitute in Vince Gilligan Mitch El Camino - with the remainder being assembled from Donald Trump soundbites, a viral clip of fools spring break. Mostly, though, the movie is made up of scenes recreated from two old B-zombie movies, Hell of the Living Dead and Zombies vs Strippers. In fact, What are Zombie Zombies, Up Up, Tiger Lily? of the lock era.




It had a shaky start. Cameron, playing an astronaut named Barbie, finds out all the familiar jokes you've developed - from coronavirus? Why do people drink beer? Wuhan Wuhan? But I like that rap group - before everything starts and runs. And in that sense, Corona Zombies is an effective accountability model. Barbie see the news. The anchor describes the symptoms of the virus, and then immediately cuts down on the news about how the virus has certainly turned a human wave into zombies. And then we hit the road to the races.

We visited the virus ground; a Chinese bat soup factory has been completely attacked from zombies. A team of zombie special forces is gathered to kill zombies. They stopped on the way to catch a hoarder. There are lots, lots of cracks about maintaining a distance of six feet. This is to not wash your hands! a character screams as he transforms the contents of a machine gun into a swarm of zombies. In one of the most exploitative scenes, in which a young topless woman smeared with blood from a nearby zombie incident, a news reporter implied that nothing would happen if everyone observed it. social alienation. It's like watching a mysterious episode of 3000 episodes, that's not a bad thing.

If this is any other time, I would recommend skipping Zombie Zombies. It was fun for 20 minutes, but then burst into flames when the central gimmick wore on. Only certain coronavirus jokes exist at the moment, and Zombie Zombies tell them all continuously. It arranges what you are passionate about watching indoors at midnight. But then, again, the way you will watch all the movies in the near future, so it must be worth it.

In the future, people will make a coronavirus movie. And, for most of this it will be sad and serious and boring, and most will exist for Mark Ruffalo - who will play a senator to exaggerate the government's carelessness in each of them. - can generate enough for the award season to get noticed. Meanwhile, now that we're in its thickness, Corona Zombies' heavy genre seems to be the only accepted place to meet this. It is a perfect reaction piece. Schlocky, stuck out his tongue, on his head. It exists to undermine what we all fear. Its intention cannot be faulty.
