I really enjoyed this film, as a New Zealander it was great to see something that didn't try too hard to be 'Kiwi', it was just a good story that could have been set anywhere but happened to be set in New Zealand. I enjoyed the clichéd characters and the meta jokes and didn't feel like they were too on the nose. You can see that this is a low budget film but I think the creators did a good job of hiding their "budgetary restrictions" so for the most part you wouldn't notice. The gore is good and the effects seem to have been done practically for the most part, which means no CGI! Well worth a watch

Certainly above average from all the zombie movies.. Funny enough, zombies within zombies and stuff, tried to be funny all the way through , it was enjoyable. its gets the job done

Arriving on a low-budget horror film, a runner hoping to break into the business finds that the set is being invaded by real-like zombies created through a chemical spill in the area and must band the survivors together to escape the situation alive. This here turned out to be quite the fun and hilarious zombie effort. What really makes this one work so well is the rather goofy and oddball situations present here, which range from the truly strange to the simply funny and to those of him simply stumbling out of harm's way at the last second. The fact that the wacky crew here delivers the vast majority of the goofiness present as they manage to introduce a few rather demented personas that really manage to showcase some great moments here, from the frosty caterer to the sage-dispensing boss and the tyrannical director ordering him into all the different embarrassing situations during the shoot which starts the first half off in such a goofy way that there's plenty to find enjoyable about this part. As that manages to lead into the film's rather fine second half where the shoot gets overrun by the actual creatures, there's more fun comedy to be found here in their utter reluctance to accept the situation and gives this one a really great sense of completion as it makes it's way into their struggle to get off the set as that gives this one plenty of great action pieces. The first appearance of the creatures, were they appear out of the mist in the forest attacking the extras who are in the middle of the shoot makes for quite a spectacular opening impression mixed with the great humor of their inability to realize what's going on, the first escape attempts featured here are great as there's the rush to get the remaining personnel away from the creatures as they come stumbling out of the forest and the big finale at the barn-house carries plenty of rather fun moments with the zombies barricaded outside and the different escape attempts that has the creatures overrun them at various points as they come up with new ways to combat the zombies allows for some solid action and plenty of gory highlights. With some solid work here bringing about the zombie make-up and gore for the bloody kills in this one there's a lot to really like here. It does have only a few minor flaws here in the fact that there's almost no reason for the film to go with the tyrannical director thread as long as it does here which readily stretches credibility and rationality rather than being funny as the scene where they emerge from the woods interrupting the scene is far too extreme to make it's case of tipping him to the insane length he goes to as that would've snapped him out instead. Likewise, there's the obvious low-budget charms that might not really appeal to all here with some of the limitations that shows itself here in numerous occasions which is what shows up here. Otherwise there's plenty to really like here. Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and Brief Nudity.

Director and writer Guy Pigden has created a gem in I Survived a Zombie Holocaust. Starring Mike Edward who has been in other classic TV shows, Ash vs Evil Dead 2015-2017 and Spartacus: Blood and Sand 2010, 2012-2013. Also starring Andrew Laing who has been in other classic TV shows, Ash vs Evil Dead 2015-2017 and Spartacus: Blood and Sand 2010, 2012-2013 with Mike Edward and also the classic mini-series, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena 2011 and also the classic TV show Underbelly: Land of the Long Green Cloud 2011 and another classic flick, Deathgasm 2015. I enjoyed the violence and comedy. If you enjoyed this as much as I did then check out other classic zombie flicks, Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse 2015, The Girl with All the Gifts 2016 and Resident Evil: Retribution 2012. The Kiwis have a habit of making classic horror films. Keep up the good work as we across the ditch enjoy your skill and humour.

First of all, I must say that I had initially some expectations to this movie, as it seemed appealing from the synopsis, and also because there has been a couple of good additions to the zombie genre from the Kiwis and Aussies. And also when the movie had "A Kiwi Shaun of the Dead" brandished on the DVD cover, ought to count for something. However, once the movie ended, I was left with a somewhat bland taste in my mouth. Why? Well, because the movie wasn't as good as I had expected, nor was it as funny as "Shaun of the Dead". Sure, there were some great moments throughout the course of "I Survived a Zombie Holocaust", but the overall result was just mediocre. There were a few laughs here and there, but not enough to sustain the entire movie. And with hand on heart, then I actually dozed off two or three times throughout the movie. As I mentioned, then there were some good moments here and there throughout the movie. And my personal favorite was when the special effects/props guy picked up arms and went ballistic on the approaching zombies. That scene had be in laughs. The special effects in "I Survived a Zombie Holocaust" were adequate, although the zombies weren't among the best of zombie special effects and make-up to be seen in the zombie genre. There were some good enough effects here and there, but nothing outstanding. As for the acting, well, people were doing good enough jobs with their given roles and characters. And Harley Neville did carry the movie quite well with his performance. The characters in the movie were colorful and well-detailed, and they did add a good amount of contents to the movie as a whole. All in all, then "I Survived a Zombie Holocaust" just failed to stand out in a mostly generic genre, which was a shame, because it did have potential for something bigger. As such, then I am rating the movie a mediocre five out of ten stars.

Many movies have tried to mix a zombie movie with comedy but this is the only one that really could make me laugh

If you're looking for a solid horrific Zombie story-line then you'll be disappointed. This movie is about mixing comedy, romance and some funny horror into your movie night. The story is built on funny quips portrayed in scenes. The story-line on the other hand is simple. A nerd guy who is happy because he just landed a "perfect job" with an upcoming horror feature and just found the girl of his dreams when things start to get worse, and the worst is when all the film extra's become zombies and he finds himself in a battle for his and his dream-girl's life. The film is very amiable. Especially with the fun nerdy, baby-faced and insecure Wesley Pennington (Harley Neville) yet some scenes you feel that the scenes are longer than they should be and some jokes are really being pushed. I believe it should be better if the movie was shorter to avoid these points, yet, the makers might take a note of that for their next feature. All-in-all it was a fun experience watching a movie from New-Zealnd, where you rarely see movie breakouts from, and I believe it's a good movie to watch with your buddies on a weekend night when you need to give your stressful brain a break from all the stress of the week and the pressure of the bad news you say on a daily basis in media and have some pure horror-styled fun as your stress-relief weekend night.

During the filming of a zombie film, a "zombie holocaust" actually happens. It is time for the runner Wesley (Harley Neville) and the cook (Jocelyn Christian) to step up. The film had the expected confusion between real and fake zombies. It is a spoof of zombie films while being one. The film is cheesy with some great lines. Unfortunately the comedy and film was all over the place going from laugh out loud funny to humorous to boring. They needed to cut out about 10-20 minutes. Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Reanin Johannink)
