Mack (Bill Steven McLean) is six miles north of Portland, Maine with his son Jesse (Ben McLean) teaching him manhood survivor skills when a localized zombie outbreak occurs. They travel to Portland in their plastic window Jeep saving Ashley (Hannah Elaine Perry) along the way. They end up in the building where the whole incident started attempting to save the innocent people who work there...even those that don't want their help. Jesse has a notebook and keeps track of the different ways he kills zombies, hence the title, although a comprehensive list would have been nice.This is the second best zombie film to come out of Portland, Maine ("Night of the Living Deb" was #1 in case you had doubt). It is designed to be a camp cult film, and certainly has many elements to make it one. It spoofs the zombie craze. The dialogue had humor and the characters were quirky and they had effective running gags. Acting was poor by design...I think. Pretty good for a low budget film. Decent sound, camera angle, and no mics in the picture. Nice to see someone actually use what they learned at film school.No swearing, sex, or nudity.

The plot is very original, depicting a father and son at war with the undead, as well as at times, with each other. Along with Mack, Jesse and Ashley, there is a whole band of supporting characters that will leave you in no short supply of laughs. From the sniveling, power hungry Norman, to the "innocent" and confused Steve, there is truly something everyone can enjoy. Freight Train Films truly accomplished a Hollywood-grade movie, between the quality of the acting, the set design, and the SFX, it makes me proud to be from the state that this was filmed in. If you're looking for a movie to take your family to see this Halloween, I highly suggest How to Kill a Zombie.

Sometimes budding chefs try to put two ingredients together and it just doesn't work. Comedy and horror have been done and done well before, but it says something about the paradox of life when you see a film of this nature that is neither funny nor scary. Even the ambiance of the Saco drive in could not save this movie. The lead character Mac (The starring role the director was humble enough to bestow upon himself) is hollow and wooden both in the acting and directing. Only after noticing him use social media to proposition "fans" to vote it high on IMDb (so it would sell more dvds) did I feel compelled to share my thoughts. Such high art film making. Just the title of the movie suggests the same plot twists we haven't seen since Hitchcock's Vertigo but matched with the intellectual stimulation you come to expect from movies where extras are the stars being shot down and hacked up by the overacting renaissance man of our time Bill "Freight Train" McLean!If you're looking for good local horror I would highly suggest Corey Norman's "Hanover House" and Shawn French's "Wrong House". The most scary and funny thing about this movie is realization of the minutes it steals from your life. Take it from me and don't waste your time.
