Review – All Souls Day

Apparently the respectful holiday of celebrating the dead is honored a bit differently in this small Mexican town. Once a year the zombies left over from a 19th-century tragedy come out and eat whatever witless American 20-somethings happen to be standing around. So woe unto the four protagonists of this picture. The set-up has some mildly innovative stuff in it, but once the ball starts rolling (30 to 40 minutes in) it ends up as little more than another cheap Night of the Living Dead rip-off. Some bush-league gore does a little to set off the brainless script. Mildly amusing
