Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 19 Average rating: 4.5 "What a ride." DVD begins. Zombie kills some guy. Then tons of goofy non zombie related stuff happens. You forget you are even watching a zombie movie. It becomes a HK slacker comedy. You kinda get into the characters. Then all hell breaks loose. Suddenly this Abbot and Costello episode is Abbot and Costello meet Zombies, and then people start dying left and right. And this silly movie suddenly gets hardcore and turns into a real zombie movie with really silly looking FX, yet it's too late. Like how Giant Robo started of all innocent and fun and suddenly became hardcore and heartbreaking, the same happens here. Some interesting zombie ideas. Some truly funny moments. And one of the best endings I've ever seen. One of those hidden gems you'll never forget. "one of the best zombie movies I`ve ever seen!" I bought Bio Zombie not knowing what to expect, and it ended up being one of the best investments I ever made. This movie is pretty high-quality for a Hong-Kong/zombie film, two genres which I love but know fall short in the quality dept. This film has comedy, action, cool music, and a good amnt. of gore also the mall it takes place in is awesome. the zombies are pretty cool looking, especially the guy they run over in the beginning. And the decapitation scenes are gross, and hilarious because they beat up the head afterwards. Also this movie has a great ending. It has many references towards videogames such as House of the Dead. I love this film and recommend it to lovers of zombie films and Resident Evil games. If you dont like subtitles beware they go rather quickly. "One of the best horror/comedies to date." I first saw this movie a year ago at Otakon 2000, an anime convention, and it had me and everyone else in the audience rolling on the floors with laughter. Bio-Zombie is set around two slackers, Crazy Bee and Woody Invincible who work in a cd shop at a local mall. One night the two are running an errand for their boss when they hit a pedestrian, not being too bright they hide the body in the trunk of their car and head back to the shop. Unfortunatly the man doesn't stay dead and soon is spreading his mysterious Zombie infection through the mall. Now Bee and Woody, along with a handfull of survivors are forced to fight their way through the maze-like, zombie infested cooridors to freedom. Combining all the classic elements from cheesy horror flicks and some found exclusivly in video games, Bio-Zombie comes out as a fast paced ride of of gorry thrills, and witty humor. If you're a fan of movies like Army of Darkness than this is a movie that shouldn't be missed especially in subtittles. "Wow! This was a great movie!" I didn't know what to expect from Bio-Zombie I sat down to watch it. I know I wasn't expecting it to be this awesome! It was hysterical - dubbed or not - the kind of silly, very gory humor in "Dead Alive." The cinematography was fast and sharp, and some parts of this movie reminded me of "Night of the Demons" or "The Convent" (which was overhyped - "Bio-Zombie" is the better horror-comedy mix!)Video-game lovers will enjoy this, too. But despite the nods to George Romero, Pete Jackson, etc. "Bio-Zombie" manages to be very original! Crazy Bee and Woody are great characters; you'll root for them all the way. And the ending is unexpected and sticks with you for a while. Buy it now!
