ROCK N ROLLLLLLLLL!!!!, 22 June 2002
10/10
Author: blazing_l from Queens, NY

This is a zombie film in a class by itself!!

The story's not so much the highlight but everything else is. You've got a lot of gruesome zombies, guns blasting, skull bashing, and of course: rock and roll!! Guitar Wolf is ultimate cool in this one as he manages keep his composure no matter the circumstance. He's even better when performing with his buddies Bass & Drum Wolf (what cool names!!). There are lots of characters in this one: Ace whose most entertaining moments come when he speaks to his "idol". You have to love his innocent naivete too! The scummy boyfriend guy reminded me of a japanese Steve Buscemi. There's a lady who packs a gun a knows how to use it. I laughed during the shower scene when she gets so p***ed off over her torn clothing!! Also, the question of the origin of the zombies is unanswered and most of the characters are perplexed too, except for the Wolfs interestingly enough.

Wild Zero is a weird, bizarre film that is very entertaining. The soundtrack alone sets the tone for the movie and is very catchy (ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!!). It looks like cast and crew had a blast making this film. I'll definitely watch this one again.
