MooVFan820 My original expectations were not the highest but this turned out to be a great movie! The acting was good but the key was the innovative story line. Kudos to the writers on a job well done! I'm sure we will be seeing some of your movies on the big screen one day!Although this movie followed the typical classic zombie movie plot, Dead at the Box Office had a unique twist that keeps you on your toes. It starts out with a few movie buffs working in a classic horror theater then all hell breaks loose. In addition to all the scary scenes, there were quite a few times where I found myself laughing out loud.I would recommend this movie to anyone looking for a scary funny movie.

Thebluemaji "Dead at the Box Office" may not be "Shaun of the Dead", but it had the kid from "Hook" in it. Sometimes you have to look at movies in steps. You can rip a movie apart as a critical viewer or you can see the good in it and enjoy it for what it is. I don't exactly know these guys well, but I met them at the screening and they have great potential. Look at "Clerks" if you want to see how a group of people can grow. Kevin Smith started out with a decent film and they evolved. DATBO was easily as entertaining as most of what goes on TV lately. Do you really want to be the guy or girl who jumped to criticality over someone's dream? The bottom line is that this is a start. With such a minimal budget, I'd say DATBO was a hit. What could they do with 50 million? Some see crap, but I see great potential. I was lucky enough to meet with some of these guys through Mark Racop and Magic House Productions. The Dead at the Box Office people are going somewhere. These people have a passion for film. There are always going to be a few kinks on the first ones, but I think it's great that someone is seeing through with their passion for creating Art. The only people who should criticize a film are fellow filmmakers. You can't fully understand the difficulty behind a film unless you make them yourself. Give these people time and see what comes from them. I personally liked it and I thought they did an excellent job overall. It was kind of like trying to sit through a Tom Cruise movie in some places, but mostly I just laughed. Could you do any better?

tugena13 while this film might not be technically perfect (there are problems in particular with the sound) or cinematically profound (the acting can be a bit clunky at times), it's otherwise a great low-budget zombie flick. the script is well-paced, well-written, and full of cult film in-jokes that the horror or b-movie buff will definitely enjoy. (i suspect anyone who's ever worked in a movie theater will also suitably entertained, as the entire film is set in a small, struggling theater and makes good use of both the physical setting and the overall atmosphere.) the make-up and special effects are extra gory and above average for a DIY film. the soundtrack and incidental music are also great... i watched it last night and can't get the closing song out of my head! look for an amusing cameo by lloyd kaufman.

Sammi1105 I can honestly say that I'm not usually a big fan of zombie movies. I felt compelled to see it being that I was a part of Shawn's RHPS cast. I do have to say that Dead At The Box office was a great movie in my eyes. For the budget that they had, it had great special effects. I got to hear all about how it was made, and I was impressed with the quality performance. Granted it's a B-movie, but so was RHPS, and look how that turned out. I say to anyone that doesn't like it, maybe give it a second chance, or a third. It's a fantastic movie, has a decent plot, and is quite original. It definitely opened up my eyes to other zombie movies.Sammi C.
