In a small island community in the United States Of America a pretty young Iranian girl struggles against her fathers preconceptions of what her life should be and the locals misconceptions that she is from the other Middle Eastern country to begin with an I. There's also a gay couple, one a townie returning to come out to his family and his partner who is already way, way out there. Thrown into this backwards slice of America is the minor problem of an invasion of the walking dead.
When you have a horror film called ZOMBIES OF MASS DESTRUCTION you know you're getting comedy but you're also expecting a bit of flesh munching undead action but just like the films namesake mass destruction is no where to be found. Instead we're holed up in a community church where the local preacher tries to straighten outnumber the gay characters and the "local yokels" mix up Iran and Iraq in a ham-fisted social commentary. The digital photography looks like it's been washed in a dirty bath and needs a good colour correction to brighten it up a fair bit. Overall the problems lie in the execution of the script, both the production and the acting let down what could have been a fair comedy.
In the end the movie is as dull and lifeless as a corpse and as flaccid and floppy as my horror movie hard OFF.
