Zombie Spring Break (2016)

Aka Ibiza Undead

Friends Alex, Big Jim, and Az head to an island for spring break.  There is some sort of zombie pandemic going on, but the island is supposed to be zombie free.  An evil dude on a yacht has a nightclub with a zombie in a cage, and is mad at his assistant because there were 200 zombies on a ship that sank off the coast that apparently where for him. Huh? This prompts the question, can zombies swim? 

There is a subplot with Alex’s exgirlfriend coming on the trip since he bought her a ticket before their breakup and he’s hoping they can get back together. Plus his sister and her friend are also there. I have no idea why.

This is hard to watch. As soon as it starts, you know you’re in trouble. It begins with two minutes of padding, complete with a lame song and lame kids in lame bathing suits doing lame dancing on a yacht owned by a cut rate villain.  There’s a lot of filler in this movie where people are dancing or moving around, but add nothing to the story.

Big Jim is one of those guys that is so obnoxious, misogynistic, and such a terrible friend that you wonder why any of the characters would spend time with him.  He screwed up Alex’s relationship with his girlfriend, treats others poorly and doesn’t have any redeeming qualities. Good god man, why would you ever hang out with him?
