What could possibly go wrong when three buddies (Tye Sheridan, Logan Miller, Joey Morgan) decide to join the Boy Scouts? When bloodthirsty, undead ghouls invade their once-peaceful town, it's up to kindhearted Ben, quick-witted Carter and class clown Augie to save the day. With help from Denise (Sarah Dumont), a beautiful but tough cocktail waitress, the boys must put their scouting skills to the ultimate test to save mankind and earn their zombie-killing badges.

Critics Consensus

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse fails to live up to its intriguingly wacky title, instead delivering yet another zombie comedy-thriller with a tired T&A twist.

How is this getting bad ratings it's exactly what it's intended to be. Hilarious movie that I definitely would say is a must see for any fans of the genre. Had me crying laughing not once but twice.

Enjoy it for what it is, special effects, fun & for some horror, finally get to see a zombie with a fire arm. If you expect anything too much than a few laughs then go wait at a bus stop hoping it will fall into your lap.

I had trouble believing Landon and company were going to be able to pull this type of horror-comedy hybrid off. But they do, more or less, the strengths of the performances and the number of solid laughs winning me over.

Observer (UK)

Putrefied audiences may get a few yucks from the crass schoolboy blend of tits and offal, but connoisseurs will opt for the much funnier Cockneys vs Zombies.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

This critic is tired of seeing movies in which teenage boys behave awfully for two acts, only to be redeemed in the last few moments by some imbalanced act of kindness.

Rated: 1.5/4

I'm not sure that Lord Baden-Powell would approve of Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse but for the right audience it should be a good Halloween matinee.

I was never made to forget that these people are immature, sex-crazed caricatures.
