Ninjas vs. Zombies
Seven friends, struggling with late 20s, early 30's life, find themselves in terrifying danger when a long-dead loved one is magically resurrected and starts devouring souls. To make matters worse, three of them have been granted the power of the Ninja, and now must lead the fight against a power they cannot hope to vanquish. If they fail, the un-dead will overrun their little town, and quite possibly the world.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Ninjas vs Zombies (2008) is a horror movie, comedy, parody of the ninja genre and directed by Justin Timpane about seven people trying to stop a man named Eric who rose from his death. Because Eric has a lethal power to change people around him turns into Zombie. He also sucks the spirits of his victims .. Will the seven people can stop the chaos? I watched this movie through DVD a few minutes ago, the movie made me curious at the beginning of the movie but in the battle scene in the theater so boring, in the middle and end of the film so flat .. Its visual effects are so bad .. Acting is ordinary .. .... dialogue dialogue of the characters are so cheap, the characters in this movie so strange and do not have chemistry .... Do not waste your time to watch this movie ..... This movie is not creepy and not stressful at all .. .
Picked this up for a pound under it's UK name 'Zombie Contagion'.I wasn't expecting much when I read the reviews on here and finding out it's original name...Why change a winning sounding title (Zombies Vs Ninja's) for the above and give it a cover that has no real link to it.It's actually quite a funny film with several moments actually making me laugh. OK so if your watching it expecting Zombie carnage you'll be disappointed...The make up and effects are poor...The acting is mixed but somehow it fits with the level the film is aiming for - You can also play spot the reference...It's better than many straight to DVD Zombie flicks.
I love ninjas and I love zombies, but I don't love Ninjas vs Zombies; it's not that I hate the film, per se—I've seen much, much worse—but any film with such an amazingly awesome title yet such a low budget is almost always going to disappoint.To really do such a cool concept justice, one would preferably have martial arts choreography by Donnie Yen, make-up effects by KNB, and visual effects from ILM. Director Justin Timpane's budget doesn't stretch that far, so what we actually get is fight scenes performed by a few guys from the local dojo, make-up and costumes from the fancy dress shop round the corner, and digital trickery courtesy of someone's home PC. Some of it works (the fights are reasonably fun), but most of it doesn't.This, combined with a script that strives to be funny, but which frequently falls flat on its face thanks to poor delivery by an inexperienced cast, results in an admittedly brave attempt by a group of enthusiastic film-makers, but one that consistently betrays its amateur status. I rate Ninjas vs Zombies 3/10, but generously bump it up a point for a couple of brief and utterly gratuitous moments of female nudity: Tara Moore flaunting her curves in skimpy underwear and a busty blonde giving full frontal in a blink and you'll miss it shot towards the end of the film.
I was aware of the making of this movie along the way and recently finally got a chance to pick up a copy at a local gaming store and was very happy with it.I am a huge fan of the grade b horror set up and was a little concerned that this one may go to far for even me. Instead it turns out to be very funny. The entire idea from start to finish was well done. I will say the movie did feel like it dragged on towards the end and certain parts needed to be cut back on but over all it was great.Do not go into this movie looking for horror and do not expect it to look like something filmed in Hollywood with a million dollar budget. However if you are able to look past the effects you will very quickly fall in love with this Kevin Smith style movie.I cant wait to see what Justin comes up with next!
