Three scouts, on the eve of their last camp-out, discover the true meaning of friendship when they attempt to save their town from a zombie outbreak. A reckless janitor accidentally releases a zombie from a laboratory of research. Meanwhile, the teenagers scouts Ben Goudy and Carter Grant decide to camp for the last time since they are too old to be scouts. The problem is that they do not want to harm the feelings of their friend Augie Foster and the Scout Leader Rogers. They have a flat tire after hitting a deer on the road and Carter's sister Kendall Grant, her boyfriend and her friend Chloe stop their Jeep to see whether they need a ride. They invite Ben and Carter to go to a party in the night. The two scouts leave the camping during the night to go to the party. When they drive through the town, they do not see a living soul and they decide to visit a night-club since the bouncer is not at the door. They discover that people have turned into zombies and they team-up with Ben's recent acquaintance Denise Russo, who is bartender in the nightclub, and Augie that was left alone at the camp and came to the town. Soon they discover that the non-infected inhabitants have been evacuated and the town will be bombed by the government. They decide to rescue Kendall but they find that the address her boyfriend gave to them is wrong. What can they do to save Kendall? There have been a number of comedy horror films the last few years but none have came close to the likes of shaun of the dead. Well im glad to say that times might be changing as this film is as good if not better than the yardstick of shaun of the dead, from the hysterical opening scene scouts guide to the zombie apocalypse is a instant hit. When three scouts on the last camping trip find themselves in a life or death situation when there town is taken over by blood thirsty zombies they have to use all there knowledge they picked up in scouts to try save themselves and there town. There are some awesome kill scenes the comedy is genius from the dolly parton to Britney spears scene this film is a must see!! the plot is a bit thin but with the brilliant acting and script it makes up for it, scouts guide to the zombie apocalypse is now the new yardstick for true comedy/horror films. This movie is not a subtle parody of zombie movies. It's a teenage comedy that also has decently thrilling action. The humour is lowbrow but still funny enough. The action is a bit silly but still fun to watch. Thankfully, the movie is consistently faced paced, exciting, and never boring. The comedy certainly helped.<br/><br/>I'm unsure to whether to state that this is more action or comedy, but it contains both. Just think of Resident Evil with lowbrow comedy if you want a rough idea.<br/><br/>+ Funny<br/><br/>+ Decent action<br/><br/>Score: 8. Worth watching, but not great. On the plus side, the film is high energy and moves quickly. And some of the zombie gore effects are fun, reaching nearly Raimi-esque heights of splatter during the climactic battle. None of it is really scary, though, especially since it’s so predictable.
