About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re in the mood for a scrappy, creepy comedy-horror with a slow build and a late surge of undead chaos; Not for you if you want nonstop scares or polished performances like Prophecy.
Pros: eerie island atmosphere; memorable zombie makeup; campy dark humor | Cons: slow first hour; uneven acting; jokes may annoy
