i happen to spot this flick on the shelf under new release and find the idea of a hip hop zombie flick far too interesting to pass up . that how it be bill on the box and anyhow and and i think to myself and what a great idea . plus there a welcome to oakland sign on the cover and too . how could i resist . unfortunately and the hip hop part only last for as long a the opening theme . neither hip hop music nor hip hop culture have much of a role in the movie . have live in oakland myself and i know that there be many aspire hip hop artists there and so the low budget of this flick be no excuse not to have a fitting soundtrack . any number of struggle artist would have jump on the opportunity to contribute to this flick . why the quiroz brother do not take advantage of this be beyond me . once the film get roll and it be a completely typical zombie movie with a cast that just so happen to be completely black and latino . you might think that this would put an unusual slant on the movie . but it do not . somehow and the quiroz brother vision of urban culture boil down to drive by shooting and drop an f bomb in every line in the movie . the rapid fire use of the word fuck be probably this movie most distinguishing characteristic while there be single line that contain the word three or four time and and no line do not contain it at least once . i be not at all squeamish about swear in a movie and but the feeling here be that it be the result of a lack of idea on the part of the writer ( also the quiroz brother ) and and the script be generally very poor . the film be generally a disappointment . it would have be interest to see a genuinely urban culture zombie flick and but hood of the living dead doesn not deliver on that count . the character in the movie could just a easily have be white or eskimo or anything else . there be no distinct flavor to the movie . it just another run of the mill low budget flick with bad act and lousy writing and amateurish direction and bland cinematography and a cheap soundtrack and and nothing at all to recommend it .
