Rotten Shaolin Zombies

Rotten Shaolin ZombiesUh oh! One of our own’s gone and done it. Not content to remain on the fringe of fringe cinema, CineSchlocker Blaine Wasylkiw followed his lifelong obsession to its illogical conclusion by heeding Lloyd Kaufman‘s hyperactive admonition: MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN MOVIE!!!

Hence this 22-minute tickler about brothers (Wilson Wong and Wil Yee) whose passion for sushi and parading around Calgary in kung fu getups erupts into zombirific zaniness. Naturally, with all the puking, tongue-ripping, head-crushings and brute-force amputations one would EXPECT from a magna cum lousy student of B-movies.

The exceptionally entertaining hijinks begin, appropriately, with an eyeball-munching fishy flitting through the air on far-from-transparent strings and crescendos with a bro-against-undead-bro throwdown for the ages.

Every CineSchlocker should do their darn’dest to support the arts. Especially those of the zombified martial variety!
