Mack (Bill Steven McLean) has taken his son Jesse (Ben McLean) our into the wilderness to make him a man - which means teaching him survival skills and how to handle a gun, things Jesse already knows he'll never have much use of ... but then, the area they're camping in is suddenly overrun by zombies, and suddenly knowing how to handle a gun actually comes in handy ... though their tents and their jeep with plastic windows less so, so they decide to make it to the next shelter - and they even pick up a beautiful girl, Ashley (Hannah Elaine Perry), for Jesse on the way there, a girl they save from a horde of zombies even if she insist she needed no help. Then they drive by a research facility where some survivors have barricaded themselves in, and they decide to save them, too - but from here on nothing goes as planned, as the survivors in question are actually a wildly heterogenous bunch who seem to be constantly quarreling. What's worse is, the zombie virus actually originated in this very research facility, and now the zombies seem to be homing in on it. And one of the scientists responsible, Norman (Donald Libby) is actually among the survivors but now tries to play down his role considerably - until he turns on the others. But that's by far not the biggest prolem our heroes have to face ...

Mainly, How to Kill a Zombie seems to want to be just one thing: Fun - and it totally succeeds in that aspect. Now I won't lie to you, there are more intelligent zombie films out there, comedic or otherwise, but How to Kill a Zombie on the other hand never makes the mistake to dumb it down for the audience or to relie on fart jokes and gross-out humour, but it's also not the post-modern kind of smart to fill the thing up with reference after reference to please those in the know - no, it's just fun, the story of a bunch of likeable (and some not so likeable) characters getting into the worst of situations, handled in a light-footed way, where laughs and violence (some of it pretty explicit) are allowed to go hand-in-hand.

I can't but repeat, it's fun, really!
