ThiefHott Too much of everything

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

andy taylor This is possibly the worst movie I've ever actually sat all the way through. I would have abandoned it long before the end if I wasn't trapped under a sleeping sick child on the couch. There is literally no redeeming feature to Daddy, I'm a Zombie. The least excruciating aspect is maybe the art direction - it's totally plagiarized from Tim Burton but a poor, poor imitation. The quality of the CGI is laughable in 2012 - it's only marginally better than an XBox game, and entirely unimpressive on the big screen. Zero texture, amateurish lighting, simplistic movement. It's as though the whole thing was rendered on a laptop. This animation was made a full 18 years after Toy Story, and it's so far behind it's not even funny. The script is appalling, it's roughly akin to a high school drama class homework assignment but the worst part is undeniably the acting. Yes, it probably suffers because there are no 'big names' but there must be some non 'big names' out there that can act? Every character is voiced by an annoying high pitched 'adult pretending to be a child' squeak like Bart Simpson, only nowhere near as good, and it's totally at odds with the attempted Burtonesque cod-Gothic look and feel.To summarise, I would expect a movie of this quality to be given away free on the cover of a magazine, or with a zombie doll - I can't believe I actually paid $2.50 from the video store. The only positive to come out of the whole sorry affair is that my 6yr old daughter, normally a very forgiving and generous movie critic, now realises that there are low-quality offerings out there which only serve to highlight how great Frankenweenie, Hotel Transylvania, Coraline etc really are.

mikemdp My daughter begged me to get this at the Redbox after watching the trailer online.Even the trailer gave me pause, and with good reason, it turns out. I should have not let her persuade me to get her this appalling movie.So here's the story:Tweenage girl has tweenage girl troubles and wishes she was dead.Pow! Lightning hits a tree and a huge limb crushes her to death.Just so you're absolutely clear on this: YOUR CHILD WILL WATCH A GIRL BE CRUSHED TO DEATH BY A TREE LIMB.Oh, and to make it more disturbing, it's established early on that her father is a mortician, so the plot strongly suggests he embalmed his own daughter.Well, now. No worries, though, because instead of actually being dead, she rises from a stone tomb as some sort of not-dead, half-skeleton zombie, and joins a ragtag pair of other zombies to escape some satanic villain and open a magical portal which will transport them back to the moment before they were killed.Because death isn't permanent, see? You can wish you were dead, die, then come back to your folks all sorry about it through some magical portal. Great lesson to teach our bullied young children, don't you think?Bah! In little more than an hour, this poorly animated film with perhaps the most wretched storyline anyone's ever dreamed up accomplishes thus:-- It teaches your troubled young girls death is the answer to their growing pains.-- Bullied in life? There's friends on the other side who understand your problems!-- And everything's gonna be OK anyway, because you can come back through a portal, just like this girl and her friends!-- So go ahead and die! It's fun!This is a horrid movie, with a horrid story, containing horrid lessons. Only horrid people would create and release a film like this for children, and I'm a horrid dad for letting my child watch it.Learn from my mistake. Let this "zombie" rot at the Redbox.

brelanda The origin of this film would seems to be films of Tim Burton. The main character is a girl of high school age called Dixie. At the onset of the picture we see an early trauma in her life where mother, unhappy for a long time, informs her hubby that she is leaving him because she can no longer stand his work, he is an undertaker. Dad is the eternal optimist always upbeat always happy and always trying his best for the ones he loves. Dixie, like most teenagers, is beset with the problems of teenagers, fickle friends, unapproachable guys, and mean girls at school. After a particularly bad day at school Dad takes Dixie to the local fair to try and cheer her up, where the mean girls trick her into seeing her old best friend kissing the guy she longs for, this sends her running in a rain storm into the woods where a tree struck by lighting falls on her. She wakes up in a grave a Zombie in the world of the dead where she meets Isis and later Gonner. The three join together to open a portal back the land of the living where they can set right all that had gone wrong in their lives and at the same time thwart the evil plans of a zombie witch bent on entering the living world with her zombie army.The CG is OK, but nothing special. The voice acting adequate and professional, but again nothing special. The story could do with some major rewrites. In the Zombie world thing pop up when needed, the story does not have the feel that if the characters were not there the place would not exist.All and all not a bad film, not a film to seek out or a film to avoid, but a film to watch when nothing else is available to watch.

Joel Waite It may be a cartoon but - IT'S ABOUT ZOMBIES! A little parental review would tell you that it's not really for kids. If you like zombie movies, this is a cute step to the side, in a childish vein. Zombie movies are seldom rated high, so to expect a Hollywood block buster is unrealistic. Folks, it's a fun romp. I give it at least a 5.0---------------------------------------------------------Another line for IMDbAnother line for IMDbAnother line for IMDb
