Film Review
The Coed and the Zombie Stoner (2014)
★★★★★
Leans way more toward (bad) T&A comedy than T&A horror
In lieu of star Catherine Annette’s previous credits, her poor acting in this one was probably deliberate, to be in fitting with most of the actors around her. Dora Pereli and Lena Young (aka Lena Hwang) are amusing as ditzy sorority sisters and their cross-campus streak scene is a big plus. The biggest minuses in this one are all the male actors, with the exception of Louis Dezseran as Dr. Avon, who explains what made the “Zombie Stoner” a zombie stoner. I wouldn’t put The Coed and the Zombie Stoner at the top of my “to watch” list for Halloween horror, as it leans way more toward comedy than it does horror, and lame sophomoric comedy, at that, but due to its pretty female cast, who provide gratuitous nudity, and Jamie Noel’s wonderfully foul-mouthed performance as a stern and sexy sorority president, it’s worth a look for those who enjoy watching this kind of stuff ….on occasion.
