This Friday, we’re featuring another Canadian zombie flick – A Little Bit Zombie. Last week, a good friend of mine mentioned that I should watch this film, not knowing of course that I have seen it a few times. It’s funny and quirky and worth a watch!
Infected by a virus, a mild mannered HR manager attempts to fulfill his overwhelming desire for brains, all while trying to keep it together so as not to incur the wrath of his bridezilla-to-be.
My Rating: B+
Interesting Fact: This movie was crowd-source funded and it was completely filmed in Sudbury, Ontario!
Six friends take a road trip to Galveston in an RV for the wedding of their friend, Kelly. The driver, Johnny, gets lost and they arrive in the small town of Lovelock and his friends Sara, Kate, Melody, Christian, and David, decide to spend the night in the Bed and Breakfast owned by the creepy Mr. Robert Wise. David has an argument with the chef of the inn, Henri, and when the chef is found dead and Mr. Wise has a heart attack in the middle of the night, the local Sheriff suspects the group of travelers and tells his Deputy, Enus to seize the keys to their RV and stay in Lovelock for the duration of the investigation. Then the Sheriff arrests “The Mysterious Drifter” who soon becomes his prime suspect. When the clumsy Johnny accidentally breaks an ancient exotic wooden box belonging to Mr. Wise, he releases the terrible, monstrous “Kuman Thong” and the evil spirit held inside escapes and possesses all the local town folk, transforming them into zombies. Ultimately, “The Mysterious Drifter”, becomes our Hero. He is a long time student of powers from “the other side”, and a relentless hunter of the dreaded, evil “Kuman Thong”. He is the only one who knows how to fight and kill the evil spirit, which he does with the help of Sara and Melody, saving only the two remaining girls and himself, before leaving the destroyed horrible and destroyed Bed & Breakfast, and the pitiful ravaged town of Lovelock behind for good.
Animal activists invade a laboratory with the intention of releasing chimpanzees that are undergoing experimentation, infected by a virus -a virus that causes rage. The naive activists ignore the pleas of a scientist to keep the cages locked, with disastrous results. Twenty-eight days later, our protagonist, Jim, wakes up from a coma, alone, in an abandoned hospital. He begins to seek out anyone else to find London is deserted, apparently without a living soul. After finding a church, which had become inhabited by zombie like humans intent on his demise, he runs for his life. Selena and Mark rescue him from the horde and bring him up to date on the mass carnage and horror as all of London tore itself apart. This is a tale of survival and ultimately, heroics, with nice subtext about mankind’s savage nature.

After the samurai is resurrected by the father’s blood, an old woman comes to the family and their captors and tells him that they’re all going to die. Following that Yoroi begins to hunt the family and the captors one by one in the Eight Spears Village forest.
