Sounds like it couldn’t miss – Diablo Cody does a zombie film, with a cast including Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried (who even make out in one scene) – but it does. The main reason I think is it’s a mean spirited movie – Fox’s character is very likable, a bit trampy but good fun, and she’s tortured and murdered in an unpleasant sequence by some characters who then disappear from the film until they get their comeuppance… in a coda. Most of the action concerns Fox tormenting Seyfriend or a variety of other people, none of whom deserve it. So despite bright performances and traditionally zany Cody dialogue, the whole thing leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
