Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Leofwine_draca NINJAS VS. ZOMBIES is your typically stupid indie comedy horror cross-genre collaboration. This one features a squad of typically overacting zombies with a bit of fake blood smeared over their faces and other random scenes featuring tubby ninja wannabes dressing up in black and doing a few moves. Mostly this is about cringeworthy humour and terrible FX; there's certainly reason why any sane viewer would wish to tune in.

kittenkongshow Picked this up for a pound under it's UK name 'Zombie Contagion'.I wasn't expecting much when I read the reviews on here and finding out it's original name...Why change a winning sounding title (Zombies Vs Ninja's) for the above and give it a cover that has no real link to it.It's actually quite a funny film with several moments actually making me laugh. OK so if your watching it expecting Zombie carnage you'll be disappointed...The make up and effects are poor...The acting is mixed but somehow it fits with the level the film is aiming for - You can also play spot the reference...It's better than many straight to DVD Zombie flicks.

BA_Harrison I love ninjas and I love zombies, but I don't love Ninjas vs Zombies; it's not that I hate the film, per se—I've seen much, much worse—but any film with such an amazingly awesome title yet such a low budget is almost always going to disappoint.To really do such a cool concept justice, one would preferably have martial arts choreography by Donnie Yen, make-up effects by KNB, and visual effects from ILM. Director Justin Timpane's budget doesn't stretch that far, so what we actually get is fight scenes performed by a few guys from the local dojo, make-up and costumes from the fancy dress shop round the corner, and digital trickery courtesy of someone's home PC. Some of it works (the fights are reasonably fun), but most of it doesn't.This, combined with a script that strives to be funny, but which frequently falls flat on its face thanks to poor delivery by an inexperienced cast, results in an admittedly brave attempt by a group of enthusiastic film-makers, but one that consistently betrays its amateur status. I rate Ninjas vs Zombies 3/10, but generously bump it up a point for a couple of brief and utterly gratuitous moments of female nudity: Tara Moore flaunting her curves in skimpy underwear and a busty blonde giving full frontal in a blink and you'll miss it shot towards the end of the film.

DjfunkmasterG The guys behind Ninjas Versus Zombies invited me down so we could have a double bill of movies, via a private screening. My film, and Ninjas Vs. Zombies. Because each of us had worked on perspective projects for sometime it was undecided which film would go first, but the guys behind NvZ wanted to see Deadlands 2, so we watched that first, then they unleashed Ninjas Vs. Zombies on me.Now before I watched the film I let Justin (The Director) and Daniel (The Exec Producer) know first off that I am not a huge fan of people goofing on the zombie genre. it is one Genre I hold close to my heart, and take very seriously when it comes to any level of film-making. Having just finished Deadlands 2, they could tell I took a very serious approach.Now let me first say that, the theme song for NvZ is really catchy. I actually found myself humming the tune on the way home from Virginia to Maryland.NvZ, is pretty much a comedy, action zombie flick. There are some very funny moments in NvZ, and most of the humor comes from the many references to films we all know, love or hate. Films such as, Pulp Fiction, Indiana Jones 4, Dirty Harry, Evil Dead, Clerks, etc etc. The list goes on quite a bit. One of the films biggest references is probably D&D (Thats Dungeons and Dragons to those who aren't familiar with the initials).Basically a spell to resurrect a dead friend, goes awry, and not only brings back the friend, but gives him the power to make an army of the dead. Now in order to stop the army, the same spell, gives a group of friends the power of the Ninja, which makes it hard to keep a straight face when typing that, but that is one of the films funnier moments,as of all the weapons in the world to fight off zombies, these guys get the power of the ninja. So if you're a Ninja fan, you will probably dig it.Now in terms of story, NvZ, lacks a little in the story department. There is a story there, but you really just don't really worry about it too much because honestly you watch the film waiting for the next gag to come about, not too mention the many one liners associated to film references, or the smart ass antics of Daniel Ross who plays Kyle. In fact another portion of the film comes off like a horror comedy version of Clerks to an extent. However, Daniels character is easily the most likable, and the guy you want to see on the screen the most. Too bad the entire movie didn't center around him because he is the one solid reason to see Ninjas Vs. Zombies.The other shining member of the cast is Carla Okouchi, who plays Lily, a female filmmaker who wants to leave her drag on life, down on his luck boyfriend, played by her Husband Corey Okouchi. While like I said there really isn't much of a story to follow in terms of, needing to know how it ends, this kind of hurts NvZ just a bit because Lily is a very interesting character who isn't explored to her fullest potential, nor used to her fullest either, but thats OK, because this is the type of film where you walk into it just see some action, zombies, and quick one liners. Not for the story.The best way to describe the audience for NvZ would be people who dig Troma flicks, but want to see one with better than your average Troma flicks production values. Basically, NvZ is full of decent production values which set it apart from most Troma films, but it has that cheesy Troma vibe, which works for the film rather than hurts it.Other stand out moments for NinJas Vs. Zombies would the music, there is some really outstanding production value in the music, although the use of Hard Rock is overdone at times. The editing looked pretty tight, all though I did note some moments to the filmmakers where they could speed it up a bit more.NvZ marks director Justin Timpanes feature debut, and with the films Microbudget, listed on IMDb as $30,000.00, it still has some faults, but they are faults even I made with my first flick Deadlands: The Rising. One of the weakest areas of NvZ is the cinematography and Camera work. It is not a disaster by any means, but it is nothing spectacular either, but overall you won't care because as I have said the film is funny, and honestly could really become a Horror Comedy classic, yes it has that potential. I picture the film being a drinking game film for droves of Frat House boys. It does have that marketability to it.Now some of the flaws, other than technical do reside in the performances by some of the lead cast and second billed. Daniels work is good, but the work of Cory Okouchi, and Dan guy, who plays Randall is sometimes trying to sit through, although Cory looks Badass in the Ninja outfit, I will say that.Now some popular MD, DC and VA talent make appearances throughout the flick, including some members of HorrorTalk.com. Some Cameos if you will are nice to see, but really do nothing to move the flick along, but if you follow the DC Baltimore film circuit you will definitely be able to say ... hey... Thats whats his/her face... so its kind of nice to know the circle is kind of complete in those aspects.All in all, I would recommend checking out Ninjas Vs. Zombies.Grade B-
