Reviews:
“If you are willing to put up with the lower budget in some areas (and I suggest you do) Zombie Hood is one fun ride into the world of the undead. You most likely aren’t going to be recognizing any of the actors found within as this truly is an indie film but the acting still pulls through as top-notch. Honestly, just the amount of zombie children alone in the film should make it worthwhile for most of you to watch and enjoy!” Buy Zombie
“The whole thing is held together by Best’s direction (and editing) which turn what could have been a jumble of scenes and a collection of unsympathetic characters into an impressive, enjoyable, thrilling zombie film with plenty of action, plenty of gore, a smidgeon of humour and a satisfyingly nihilistic ambience.” Cult films and the people who make them
“Zombie Hood might not exactly tell the most original story – but it does so in a refreshing way, taking a light-footed, even darkly humourous approach to its dead serious subject matter (without ever becoming moronic), and while not exactly shying away from violence, the film also leaves plenty to the imagination and doesn’t go all slaughterhouse all of the time…” Search My Trash
