Synopsis

Five years ago when Christian sold his soul to the dark powers of Samuel he was promised a life free of guilt and no recollection of his sins. A world where a small cabal of handsome killers, Zombies, seduce and pray upon innocent men at will. Zombies follows Christian on a downward spiral as his memory awakens from the numb life he's grown accustomed to. His past causes the line between madness and sanity to blur. Taunted by the young men he brutally killed, misunderstood by his best friend, Jason, and victimized by his chief rival, Cain, Christian seeks refuge in the supporting embrace of Matthew. Christian is forced to choose between a life of absolute power or abandon his dark existence and walk the Earth as a mortal. Brutality, horror, violence and a unique story of love, revenge and gay male blood lust give this project a groundbreaking twist heralded by the Boston Phoenix as "the first in boy meets boy horror."

Review

The latest addition in homo-horror comes from director Alex Dove ("Dead Guys") delivering yet another obviously low-budget blood-fest that is driven more by attractive actors than anything else. While the synopsis explains the story well, this writer had trouble locating a plot of any kind, but did distinguish that Christian (Jonathan Williams) sold his soul to Samuel (Jason Hoffman) to live an immortal life as a "zombie", although now seems to be having second-thoughts about his decision. Through flashbacks (which are never a good idea) we witness Christian on his killing endeavors which always include a sexual seduction, a bit of strangling (an obvious fetish for Dove) and then the removal of the victim's heart. The violence can be gruesome, but in some scenes turns out to be somewhat kinky. While some of the film achieves a level of creepiness, it does so in a completely unmotivated fashion that is confusing and as sloppy as the crime scenes. There are no transitions between scenes and the cheesy props combined with the fakest movie blood don't really help make "Zombies" one you can take seriously.

Admittedly, the cast is quite hot (and not that bad at acting) but don't expect anything from the sex scenes. Despite a quick full-frontal shot of our lead, the nudity is brief and often a tease, making this a flick that lacks story and genitalia.
