KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

kittenkongshow Picked this up for a pound under it's UK name 'Zombie Contagion'.I wasn't expecting much when I read the reviews on here and finding out it's original name...Why change a winning sounding title (Zombies Vs Ninja's) for the above and give it a cover that has no real link to it.It's actually quite a funny film with several moments actually making me laugh. OK so if your watching it expecting Zombie carnage you'll be disappointed...The make up and effects are poor...The acting is mixed but somehow it fits with the level the film is aiming for - You can also play spot the reference...It's better than many straight to DVD Zombie flicks.

charlytully NINJAS VS. ZOMBIES has all of what you would expect if some film equivalent of Simon Cowell (think a panel composed of Ulli Lommel, Uwe Boll, and Steven Soderbergh) stopped at the home of the most obnoxious big family in your neighborhood, condo complex or apartment building with a pick-up truck full of cheap film-making equipment and a few disks of tacky special effects. Carefully coached toward the lowest common denominator by the panel, you would end up with a finished flick featuring wooden actors delivering hokey lines to convey an implausible story line with absolutely terrible production values (which describes NINJAS VS. ZOMBIES in a nutshell). Skimming the NZ credits reveals lots of nepotism and many people wearing at least three hats (which for most of them is a hat trick too many). Why not make lemonade out of lemons such as NZ? If the bozos involved with this lame movie could make such a perfectly extended version of the purposely poor sketches done by the BE KIND REWIND crew, why not a weekly TV series, with a few shows devoted to the selection of "finalists," and each week thereafter featuring the coaching process on the first night, and the finished product on the second? Based on audience votes, the top three amateur feature directors would get a second bite of the apple. If my show had been on the schedule in time for NINJAS VS. ZOMBIES, I think it unlikely NINJAS VS. VAMPIRES would have gotten off the ground. America would have voted this crew off the island much sooner than that.

BA_Harrison I love ninjas and I love zombies, but I don't love Ninjas vs Zombies; it's not that I hate the film, per se—I've seen much, much worse—but any film with such an amazingly awesome title yet such a low budget is almost always going to disappoint.To really do such a cool concept justice, one would preferably have martial arts choreography by Donnie Yen, make-up effects by KNB, and visual effects from ILM. Director Justin Timpane's budget doesn't stretch that far, so what we actually get is fight scenes performed by a few guys from the local dojo, make-up and costumes from the fancy dress shop round the corner, and digital trickery courtesy of someone's home PC. Some of it works (the fights are reasonably fun), but most of it doesn't.This, combined with a script that strives to be funny, but which frequently falls flat on its face thanks to poor delivery by an inexperienced cast, results in an admittedly brave attempt by a group of enthusiastic film-makers, but one that consistently betrays its amateur status. I rate Ninjas vs Zombies 3/10, but generously bump it up a point for a couple of brief and utterly gratuitous moments of female nudity: Tara Moore flaunting her curves in skimpy underwear and a busty blonde giving full frontal in a blink and you'll miss it shot towards the end of the film.

corejava2 Saw this at a local indie movie rental place, was expecting a blend of zombie horror with random ninjas thrown in. Didn't like the attempt at humor as it felt really cheesy; (one of those "hah we know we're a B- movie" so we'll just deliver the lines really bad). Don't get me started on the dialog.I knew the production value wasn't going to be up there in quality, but the cinematography and overall feel made it look more suited for Youtube than my DVD player. I hate to be so blunt as I'm sure a lot of love and work went into this project... you have been warned though, go into this movie with very low expectations.
