Full Moon does zombies! After a pretty good opening ruse that has a zombie attack on a female doctor we learn that it's just the set of a low-budget zombie movie. Well things go all awry when the crew finds a weird type of coffin that brings back a maniacal zombie doctor who brings back even more living dead to stalk and kill the unlucky filmmakers.

An obvious homage to Lucio Fulci and Itallian zombie movies this has a script literally loaded with in-jokes and witty banter (which works about a third of the time). But there's some problems here; the fact that for about half the movie there's nary a zombie in sight just doesn't help and when the feeling settles in they were trying for a more wannabe "hip" pop culture horror/comedy it starts to get a bit tiresome. However at least this does pick-up in the finale even managing a couple of cool moments (such as the intestine drag death) before being defeated by a weak final shot (that reminds one of Fulci's The Beyond).

It's surely flawed but it tries pretty hard and it could've worked if they'd put more gusto into the zombie attacks and concentrated on more zombie mayhem than jokey talking. Dig that computer generated fire...
