One of three DVDs in the Christmas box this year, along with Eat Brains Love and Zombie School, and all three nowhere on any list I have ever created. They were all very randomly found. After watching the Thai Zomvivor (still an awful title despite the show being awesome), I tried to find any South Korean zombie movies I hadn't seen that had good ratings and discovered Zombie School. Unavailable to download in the UK so I got a DVD from Korea. Eat Brains Love based on a novel of the same name next. Again, unavailable so a DVD came from the US. And then this... All You Need is Love... sung to the theme of All you need is love? by the Beatles?
It is written and directed by Bucky Le Boeuf and is one of those lower budget awkward movies that have cringe elements, cheese but ultimately appeal to some... like Gentlemen Broncos, or Evil Alien Conquerors. And if you loved those you may well like this.
16 year old Bucky lives with his alcoholic pest control officer widower dad, and the talking urn holding his mums ashes. He is a filmmaker, making overly arty pieces with his mute Indian friend Nish.
But when Walter Herzog-esque Franz von Franz comes to town to judge the local horror cinema contest, Bucky must swallow his pride and get gorey to win the $2000 first prize. What to do? Well, the meteor crashing into the garden and giving dad space AIDS and turning him zombie helps.
Add Menu Suvari as a coke head trailer trash diva, Eddie Griffin as a detective , and Emma Chasse as a stage fright suffering wannabe actress, and we soon have a zombie movie within a movie... not original I know, see Reel Zombies, Diary of the Dead, Zombies are Coming to Town, and the list goes on... Is it any different? Yes, it doesn't take itself seriously at all, and is amusing rather than laugh out loud funny, with running gags throughout...
A 4.5/10 for me. I wouldn't hurry to watch it again, but I would recommend those who like awkward indie movies like Gentlemen Broncos give it a go.
