No, it was a good take on the idea of zombies with a good twist. If you are someone who appreciates animation and story, this is a movie for you.

It's a decent original movie, but I bet it won't make any money compared to all these sequels, prequels, and reboots.

A still life animation about a tired old story-line pushed out again. white boy is different from society and knows or does something special. know one believes him and punishes him for it. dad is usually the biggest angry person. The audio is harsh mostly around when an accurate version the the worlds society is angry out of sheer stupidity towards another race, yelling unnecessary things with weapons in their hands. short short movies ends shortly with ghost witch dissolving the forest into a dramatic paradox cut really short by the kid who knows more than he should at that point. Stereotypes stereotypes stereotypes, ****** cop, everyone else is white, princess pink prep bitch, sidekick is a plump virgin, older brother is gay, 1995 setting with you-tube in the picture. swearing, unorthodox explanations, cop slapping her ass against the van. I know this is a kids movie but just about the only thing positive I can think of was the time, energy, and patients that was put into this crap. ads before this movie were garbage and spam.

C&P'd from IMDB:
Violence & Gore:
PG level zombie violence. Mostly zombies/body parts of zombies chasing/being chased by townsfolk.

Occasional organs and body parts lying around.

A character pushes and pulls at a dead body in a comical way to get something out of the body's hands, but it's pretty "disturbing" if you really think about it.

A ghost of a dead dog is seen cut in half (it is said to have been run over by a truck). The ghost runs around as its front of the body detaches from the back half, and cartoony innards are seen floating from the stomach area.
Profanity:
Some uses of "God". One use of "jackass." Two uses of "hell." Two uses of "pissing." Norman says the "F-word" when somebody confuses him with the word "swear," as in promise. Norman doesn't say the actual word, just the example that's on this parents guide.
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking:
Two times people are drinking wine.

A joke in which a character confuses "deltoids" for steroids.

Frightening/Intense Scenes:

Just a few mild jump scenes. The "witch" at the end could be pretty scary for younger kids.
Sex & Nudity:
Norman jokingly says he was watching "sex and violence" on TV to his parents.

Norman's teen sister ogles at Mitch since he is shirtless.

A teenage male character talks about having a boyfriend.

Alvin grabs Courtney's buttocks, and Courtney makes a comment. You don't see this.

A teenage girl is very curvaceous, and wears tight pants with her buttocks sticking out.

It shows a billboard with a woman straddling a roulette wheel, she has money shoved in her cleavage and she is suggestively blowing on dice.

At the end of the movie one of the characters makes a gay reference saying "Oh my boyfriend would love that"

There are random sexual references and suggestions throughout the whole movie from the first scene to the very last, all of which are mild but they are frequent.

A boy pauses his mother's exercise video and looks at her buttocks.
