So the latest Thursday new movie was one you’ve never heard of, yet I assure you is not direct to video. The Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse – a raunchy teen zombie comedy that, if it were JUST a zombie movie, might have been halfway descent… but it’s not funny, the raunch is a little too tasteless, and the acting is sometimes very bad. It’s about a trio of horny 16 year old boy scouts who have to battle the undead, save the rave, and arm themselves to the teeth in a classic 80s getting ready scene.
About the only thing good about the flick is a few zombie gags (like a crazy cat lady and her crazy zombie cat army), some good use of music, and a decent final zombie battle with cobbled together weapons. But any time it steps back to be funny or to try for some human emotion, it’s a time-wasting dud.
Score: 60
