Movie Review: Doghouse (2009)

Fat Film Review

Ultimate Guy Break Up Film

Doghouse sets it's self apart in the Zombie game by melding the usual blood splattered horror zombie flick with the comically misogynistic romp of your typical bromance.  The story follows a group of guys, all with overbearing wives and girlfriends, who decided to get away for a weekend and throw a party for their recently divorced friend.  Instead of a wild time filled with booze and partying they find themselves in the middle of a small town where all the women have become zombies and all the men are dead.  They've no choice but to chop, bludgeon and burn every bloodthirsty wench that comes after them.  The quintessential moment is when they stumble across a zombie bride all dressed in white and feeding on the groom.  From there the movie is pretty much your standard Zombie fair.  It's all done very well and the acting is good.  I can't help but think the writer must have a had a bad break up before writing this misogynistic zombie slaughter fest.  Conclusion: a good twist on your typical Zombie film, but maybe more suited for a guys night out.
