Just when I thought there were no more cool zombie flicks, I stumble upon Broken Springs.
It's a fun zombie flick in the vein of ZombieLand. The killing of the zombies is both enjoyable and creative, especially given its low budget.
Broken Springs has a lot going for it. It never quite makes up its mind on whether it wants to be a parody, an action movie, or a conspiracy flick; which is great as the movies quick pace keeps you entertained the whole way through.
Definitely one of the best zombie flicks I've ever seen. Even the zombies were superb. The rest of the cast shines as well. I suspect this movie will launch some careers.
Broken Springs exceeded the expectations set by the trailer. So if you liked the trailer, you'll love the movie.
I just got a copy of the Broken Springs DVD and couldn't wait to watch it. I was surprised to say the least. For a low-budget independent film, the special effects are amazing. I mean they are as well-done as most box office hits out there today. The movie has an edgy style and some awesome color variations for mood. The make-up featured "real" looking blood and gore. Some of the dialogue is hilarious! I enjoyed the comedic moments a lot. They lightened up the movie between it's intense horror scenes. The information on the cover was quite impressive. This film was featured in several film festivals all over the country. If you are into horror movies, zombies, special effects, unique story lines, cult flicks, and truly fun and entertaining movies, you MUST see this one. I loved it. *Note: I would not recommend this movie for kids under age 13 because there is a brief nudity scene or two, and the language is for adults only (vulgar expletives). That's the only reason I gave this film a "9" out of "10" review. As for myself, I plan on watching this movie over and over to catch all the funny lines and clever parts I may have missed. Excellent writing and directing on this one.
its the south and sometimes people here act really DENSE! the tainted moonshine being spread by the police was classic! the story line drama was well rounded in with the gore and violence! very funny and entertaining! i thought the perv was the funniest character; just couldn't get lucky! it has all what a guy movie needs: boobs, booze and blood! rocking movie! the whole zombie concept has been done in so many different ways, yet this movie is unique!! I've seen a lot of movies in this genre all from Dawn of the Dead from the 70s to Zombieland! always been a zombie fan and always will be! this movie did the zombie apocalypse idea justice! i definitely recommend this movie! if you haven't seen it, you're missing out! so go buy yourself a copy!!:)
Conseptually Sound story. very intriguing use of a realistic Southern Appalachian past time. "MOONSHINE"! I found the movie very entertaining. Much like trying a new holiday recipe from your neighbor's Copper Kettle,not sure what to expect,but after that 1st swig,MAN WHAT AN AWESOME FLAVOR! This film holds as many twists and turns as the back country roads it was filmed around! Loved the film locations,and the special effects. Not sure how the director found some of these character's, but I have to guess some were able to draw upon real life experiences. I'm giving this indie film two bloody stumps up! Can't wait to see the next project from this director!
