After a series of strange events, a high-school nerd finds that the burgeoning war between humans, vampires and zombies is about to be tested when an alien invasion turns their peaceful town into a war- zone and tries to help the survivors fend off the intruders.
This was quite the disappointing though really appealing effort. What really dooms this one is the fact that there's just so much of the film that is supposedly funny but really comes off as just lame or comes off as being utterly stupid due to a rather overbearing sense of entitlement it has. The film tends to believe that gathering cameos from famous comedians and dumping them into the film to play the kind of roles they're familiar with makes for a series of cold, lifeless scenes that just seem to go on forever with people playing an overly-familiar character without much purpose in the film, and getting the chance to get themselves on screen at the detriment of the rest of the film really drags a lot of the comedy out of this one. The remaining parts of the comedy here is based on the concept of comparing the existence of the different species to the pains of growing up in high-school, and there's plenty of this here which seems to give the film a seemingly higher sense of establishment about itself than it really is as there's nothing much really done with this set-up at all and the different connections to the set-up throughout here which is the biggest part about this one that holds it back. Beyond this, there's so much to like here with the film's rather grand amount of action throughout that gives this one such a fine pace that it really gives the film quite a lot to enjoy here. The opening half spends a vast majority of time dealing with the high-school angst of the different crowds at the school and how he tries to get their different activities lined up with the set-up giving the groups quite a lot to like here, and once the film devolves into the different camps warring with each other as the three-way battle that erupts in the streets has so much incredibly great mini-action moments of the groups getting ripped to pieces in great ambushes at the main house and the spectacular scenes in the school where they realize the aliens are coming and what they want through the fun attack scenes that are given a humorous slant through the humiliation given to the characters forcing them to be nude during the encounter. Though the ending goes into some rather whimsical areas with the head alien and what they're purpose for being here actually is, there's still some rather intriguing action here with the encounter in the big pit at the end which again gives this one such a fun amount of action and great kills that gives this one a great deal of fun. Overall, these here do help this one out though the flaws do hinder this somewhat.
Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Brief Nudity and drug use.
