CHOKING HAZARD

As I expected, this Zombie-flick from the Czech Republic is cool.

The story revolves around a blind Professor and a group of people shacked up in a hotel in the middle of the woods trying to find the meaning of life. They're the stereotypical bunch of people you'd expect to see in a horror flick, so I won't go into the explanation of their charactors here. They make video diaries of their journey for the meaning of life.

One night while they are watching them, a porno star/ Jehovah's Witness shows up, expecting to be on the set. The Prof. mistakes him for a new group member and asks him to play and describe his tape.

It is also at this point that zombie woodsman awake in the woods,
(later described as Wombies), and kill a guy trying to eat a wild mushroom. Hooray for Hallucinogens!

Anywho, the star/Witness decides to stay and tries to persuade the other group members over to the path of light. The doctor and the rest are unaffected by his pleas.

Zombies reach the outside of the hotel and eat a guy, while his friend watches from the safety of his car. The zombies also find their way into the kitchen and eat the staff. No stew for you.
This one guy who wears a helmet for no reason takes it off and jumps into a freezer, narrowly avoiding death at the hands of the undead.

Then the zombies attack the rest of the hotel, causing the Prof., (whom has no idea what is going on), gets separated from the rest of the group and, consequently, eaten. The star/Witness also gets bitten and gets his head crushed in with an ashtray, accidentally.

After they find out how easy it is to kill the zombies, the group members throw a dance party!

That is, until the super smart/Land of the Dead-esque zombies come in and wipe the floor with their blood.

I won't spoil the rest. Needless to say, it is a fantastic film definately worthy of the fifteen bucks I spent on it.

**** 1/2 stars.
Reasoning for not 5: Felt too short.
Although it is a good movie with bountiful raspberry coloured gore and excellent photography, it felt like it could have been longer for some reason.
