Zoombies (2016)

Zoombies is the kind of gleefully ridiculous creature feature that knows exactly what it is and leans in hard: a safari park nightmare where the usual zombie rules get a wild, snarling rewrite. Director Glenn Miller keeps the pace brisk and the vibe pulpy, serving up scrappy survival action, horror-movie jolts, and the simple, crowd-pleasing novelty of undead animals turning a family-friendly setting into a panic maze. It’s more entertaining than it has any right to be, powered by the “what on earth could attack next?” momentum and a cast that plays it straight enough to make the absurdity land. If you’re looking for prestige horror, this isn’t it—but if you want a fun, SyFy-adjacent romp with a great high-concept hook, it’s an easy late-night pick.

Zoombies is clearly aiming for goofy, B-movie creature chaos: a zombie outbreak in a safari park where every enclosure is basically a new set piece. The problem is the execution—between the bargain-bin CGI and uneven acting, it’s hard to feel real tension, and the “horror” often lands closer to accidental comedy than scares. If you’re hoping for convincing effects, strong performances, or anything resembling a polished sci‑fi thriller, this will test your patience fast. But if you enjoy low-budget schlock with a ridiculous premise and can treat it like a late-night background watch, there’s some dumb fun in the constant animal-attack momentum.
