    This very unusual mix of zombie move, comedy and western makes for an interesting watch, even if the genres don't mix entirely well together. Those who delight in B grade horror will find plenty to enjoy. The comedy sometimes falls flat, but there are some genuinely funny moments...( read more) too. A relatively unknown cast does alright, but it's the Romeroesque makeup effects that get the real giggles. Dont miss the zombie outlaws penis falling off while he is urinating... nuff said.

    Doesn't balance the horror and silliness properly, so a lot of scenes and lines fell flat.

    Miscast, horribly acted, poorly written and incompetently directed, this flick is DOa. Kudos for not skimping on the violence and a fuck you for everything else.

    What is it with the sudden influx of comedy-western-horror mashups?

    Uneven horror/comedy (or as the makers say Zombedy) set in the old west. Annoying inserts explaining (and then happening) during the zombie attacks. Brian Posehn does get a few laughs as the 1st of the zombified, but the rest strains for giggles and groans, achieving a few.

    Hilarious!! Absolutely great!
    Interesting story plot. Great cast. Chris Kattan in a zombie comedy flick was absolutely brilliant. A must-see!

    A decent entry in the zombie-comedy-Western
    subsubgenre with Brian Posehn (Mr Show, "Metal By
    Numbers")and Matt Besser (UCB). Cool idea, but not
    done well enough (and too cheaply).

    Chris Kattan and James Denton are really funny in this zombiedy of western proportions. Geronimo has cursed the white man for his evil deeds, by cursing us to an undead life. It's well written, and directed well too. If you like horror comedy or Chris Kattan you should pick th...( read more)is up.

    omfg btw this is thee crappest film ive seen in ages i couldnt even take the piss i mean i laughed all right cause it was crazy but man how shit
  • October 22, 2008
    Brian Posehn is awesome as a zombie while Matt Besser from UCB steals the movie as the sheriff though it's a bit lame
  • July 8, 2008
    Bad "Zomedy" with poor Chris Kattan slumming it in a thankless roll as a wussy cowboy that stubles across a western town cursed to become ZOMBIES by an Indian curse. I guess it could have worked out into a decent movie, but it was not to be. Skip this one.
