A Cadaver Christmas aka Zombies At Christmas (USA/2011)

A bit too late, or well in time for Christmas...you decide.

Came across this 2011 movie on ebay and thought what the hell, lets order it cause it looked fun.

At Christmas, a university professor's experiment, once again goes wrong and it's up to the janitor to clean up the mess.
With the help of a local drunk, a barkeeper, a fired cop and the town's perv, they go up to the university to get rid of the undead before the automatic doors open at dawn.

It's a hit and miss with this movie. Some parts are done pretty well and remind me of Braindead and Re-Animator and some parts just seem rushed a bit. The zombie slaying could have been more fun if they used a more slapstick aproach in my opinion. Sometimes it's just not convincing enough while at other times the effects of blowing a zombies brain out does look cool.
It could have used a bit more gore, although the Janitor's face is covered with it the whole movie through

The unlikely band of heroes are a fun bunch to watch and make most of this comedy/"horror" worth to watch. And the wide range of weapons used to kill are original.

The zombies don't look too spectacular, but that didn't bother me too much. I generally enjoyed myself watching this movie.
