Zombie Gets a Date (2008) User Reviews

NOT for everyone!!!

[planktonrules · 8/10 · 18 May 2008]

I watched this with my daughter and wife and based on our reactions, I really think this is NOT a cartoon for everyone. I loved it and it made me laugh, my daughter chuckled and my wife thought we were both crazy!! The short film begins with, of all things, a young lady on a date with a zombie. TRY NOT TO THINK THIS OUT--OF COURSE THE IDEA MAKES NO SENSE. My wife had a hard time with the concept--I say just turn off your brain and watch.

I'd like to say more about what exactly happens, but I can't as the film is only 3 minutes long and I am sure I'd spoil the film. The bottom line is that the film is very dry but has a great punchline. If you are weird, you'll probably like it. If not, then you might just want to skip it.

If you DO like this, also try to watch another excellent zombie short (ZOMBIE-AMERICAN).

Funny Animated Short

Zombie Gets a Date (2008)

*** (out of 4)

Funny two-minute short has a zombie going out on a date with a beautiful woman. We pick things up as the two are sitting in a fancy restaurant. The zombie is trying to keep himself together while the woman is obviously bored. The waitress then brings their salads and then the real fun starts. Some might wonder why a beautiful woman would be out on a date with an ugly zombie but if you really think that then it's best to turn the brain off and just sit back and have some fun. I really enjoyed this short as it had a lot of imagination and many funny scenes. The highlight is of course the ending and its this ending that the entire film builds up to but I thought it worked extremely well and got a big laugh from me. The movie is animated but that's what makes it work so well. You certainly shouldn't be showing this to kids before they watch WALL-E but fans of the horror genre will want to check this one out.
