After I saw the trailer I went to see this movie at a showing in Daytona. I was a little disappointed!The writer does okay but the director and actors don't really do it justice. There are moments I felt could have been clever or funny with better performers or a more interested director.Unfortunately the film was childish and more like a teenager's personal YouTube project with his friends. Unpolished works can have their charms, but I don't think that really works in this case.I did enjoy the visuals somewhat and the idea was sort of clever, but overall I don't think I would watch this again!

Saying that it's "just a zombie movie" is a cop-out and suggests that legitimately good zombie films aren't legitimate art.This movie sucks and I regret wasting my time seeing it. I realize that it's an indie movie made by some alcoholic hicks from the South (no offense) but that doesn't excuse the fact that it's very cheesy and not in a really fun way.What was up with that Sinister Minister guy? It's kind of lame when your movie is hiring random gimmicky local celebrities. I wish that meant that this gave the movie some legitimate folksy charm or something, but it doesn't really work.I really wanted to like this movie, but it didn't work out.

This movie is, in a word, boring. At least Birdemic was funny in its audaciousness. Rockabilly Zombie Weekend utterly fails to entertain me on any level. It's not funny, scary, or exciting. It's just dull.This film doesn't do anything particularly wrong or right, and herein lies my dislike for it. One might think that it breaks at least some new ground in filmmaking, but the concept isn't particularly creative and strikes me as pandering.Sometimes "indie" is just another word for "bad." I can't think of any reason someone would want to see this movie unless they were a huge zombie buff. Even if that's the case, skip Rockabilly Zombie Weekend. It's not worth your time or money.
BOOOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEE
I was one of the unfortunate ones to attend the screening for this movie. It's bland, unoriginal, and lacking in so many areas. It has mad potential and could probably be perfected by another director and cast, but this time around, it's not worth investing your time in. Frankly, I think it's up there with The Room in the big bad list of awful movies.Not saying you shouldn't listen to other critics, but they're probably involved with the movie in some way if they're saying anything positive about it. Honestly, I don't think there's any other way to make any sort of valid defense for this movie. It's not for the die hard cinema fanatic, nor the casual moviegoer. Do yourself a favor and avoid it in the future.
