Despite its many problems, a distinctly Canadian sensibility of dopey, gross-out fun manages to rise to the surface of this teens vs. zombies curio. Go to Full Review

The pieces don't always fit, the jokes sometimes miss their mark, the horror elements can be clumsy, but the film holds together on the basis of charm. Go to Full Review

Canadian zom com Dead Shack is refreshingly small scale, with great comedic timing and relatable characters. It's a great, entertaining little film Go to Full Review

Tom L Jun 6 Fantastic movie that manages to successfully meld comedy with grim horror, something that is exceedingly difficult to do and very rare. The characters are despicable yet lovable, the dialogue is pitch perfect, and the Evil Dead homages are effective even while being obvious. Despite using well-worn zombie and psycho cabin in the woods tropes, the film makers add imaginative and fresh ideas into the mix. While the origin story of the undead is never explained, this wasn’t distracting from the story and the action. There is even a touch of melancholy at the end that tempers the humor and zaniness of much of the rest of the movie, and keeps things from ending on a trivial note.

Suitably silly and gory with lashings of ordinary acting...even from the lovely Lauren Holly. Sitting on the fence if this is worth watching...it's less than 90 minutes so if nothing better to do....
