But Zombie Movie has a hell of a good premise: three metalheads are stuck for days in a car surrounded by zombies (it\u2019s Australian, so of course it\u2019s gonna be about cars). And it\u2019s wise enough to pull all the possible weirdness out of that cloistered setting. It\u2019s almost like a horror sitcom\u2014a tight turning of the screw on quirky people bouncing off each other in an unusual location. It\u2019s not great, but it has razor-sharp editing and is good enough to keep you invested for a solid fifteen minutes. It even manages some tension throughout, as the nights grow longer and uglier, and the director\u2014like Hitchcock with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000A9QK7I\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000A9QK7I&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=smufil-20&amp;linkId=ILIU3LEYFXGYGGTW\" target=\"_blank\">Lifeboat<\/a>\u2014is wise enough to never leave the car.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xuhWSVTzJ18<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6509\" style=\"border: 4px solid  #000000;\" src=\"http:\/\/smugfilm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/zombiemovie.jpg\" alt=\"zombiemovie\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xuhWSVTzJ18\" target=\"_blank\">Zombie Movie<\/a>\u00a0(2005) | Dir.
