DIE-ner (get it?)

Well there's your problem.
Holy bad movie Batman. From the moment the title of DIE-ner (get it?) comes up, you must realize that you, or a loved one, have made some poor choices in life if you find yourself watching this dreck. And it's not just that it's not a very good zombie movie with substandard visual effects, but with flashbacks for our serial killing protagonist, it feels like writer/director Patrick Horvath seems to be trying to make some sort of statement. If he's not, he just made a particularly shitty movie.

The movie opens with Ken, our serial killer with his bag of rope and duct tape, killing the chef and waitress in an all-night diner. Shortly thereafter a couple having marriage troubles and the town Sheriff arrive to round out the cast which spends only an hour and sixteen minutes NOT killing zombies. Instead, Ken keeps getting knocked out and flashing back to when he was a child and his mother left, or they're experimenting on how to kill one of the zombies which is impossible anyway, or waxing philosophical about evolution and how maybe the zombie is the next step. While it's not the worst zombie movie I've ever seen, it comes pretty damn close to it.
