Movie Review: Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse (M18)
You can't have high expectations with a title like this.
Teenagers Ben (Tye Sheridan), Carter (Logan Miller) and Augie (Joey Morgan), have been best friends and Boy Scouts all their lives.
When their townsfolk suddenly become flesh-devouring zombies, they need to find courage and use whatever survival skills they have learnt to save the remaining humans from being eaten alive.
Filled with raunchy jokes, sex gags and lame one-liners, this would be destined to be a D-grade zombie flick if not for the chemistry among the three leads.
Sheridan, who plays Scott Summers/Cyclops in next year's X-Men: Apocalypse, is the one to watch.
Sarah Dumont, the requisite boobs-and-legs chick, also turns in a strong performance as femme fatale Denise.
Rating: 2/5
