Movie Review: Zombie Ex's (2013, Northern Fabulous/Bloody Earth Films)

 ...nope...nope...not this viewer, thank you very much...nope...not gonna do it...nope...not gonna do it, dammit, says this viewer!! Not gonna go into another droning and repetitive rant about yet another new zombie comedy, amidst the countless zombie comedies already gracing the horror genre wasteland. Nope. Not gonna reflect back upon bygone humble beginnings, what horror sub-genre has since been wrought, as the result of some little 1968 presumably classic zombie flick, by some dude...maybe you've heard of him...some dude named Romero, or something like that, I think. Oh hell, no. Not gonna shovel out the typical ya-da-da ya-da-da ya-da-da about a new zombie flick that once again establishes & revels the 'basic rules' of the zombie genre, storywise (...i.e., being reanimated flesh-eaters, needing to shoot them in the head, etc.), and yet, tries to turn the genre on it's head, by humorously gives the expected proceedings, a supposedly fresh twist, or some underliningly social satire. And it's a shame that this viewer isn't gonna do all that, 'cause such oft-visited, nostalgic reflection of this beaten and well worn horror genre would still make for a reasonable and much greater measure of insight and relevation, than the adequate, though pretty much shoulder-shrugging, ho-hum offerings afforded the hapless viewer of the 2013 horror comedy, "Zombie Ex's"...

Four female friends take a trip to the city for a girls-night-out and after drinking more then their share of shots and lacking a ride home, one of them decides to go through her phone looking for someone to give them a ride. She comes across the number of a boy she used to make fun of when they were in school together and puts up a front, pretending to like him in order to get what she wants. Unfortunately for her though, this young man is now the youngest member of a three man serial-killer team which takes delight in abducting, torturing and killing women who rebuff their sexual advances. Once they hook up for their ride it isn't long before one of the intoxicated girls starts mouthing off and that's when things go south for the quartet of snooty bitches. Deep in the Australian hinterlands and miles from help, the girls must fight for their lives in a night that will be filled with death and terror.
