Synopsis: A teen heads to a rundown cottage in the woods for a weekend getaway with his crude best friend and his family (including fearless older sister and hard partying dad and future step-mom). Wandering through the woods they come across a scene of cannibalism and find themselves fighting for their lives against a zombie family.
The Good: This is a good zombedy. There's a nice blend of comedic timing and flesh-eating horror. The film also has a nice aesthetic, which can be seen in the poster. Finally it's a pretty heartfelt flick.
The Bad: While he comes into his own, the lead is very timid and awkward. It personally brought back embarrassing memories for me.
Final Thoughts: This was nice little flick. It's currently on Shudder if you'd like to check it out.
In Your Game: The idea of someone keeping their zombified family and feeding them would be a great encounter for Zombies!. I think this would make a great Dark Places & Demogorgons session too.
