This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Very rarely do ordinary and regular people who love movies get to actually make them. Imagine that for just a moment - what would you do if you were told you got to do the one thing you've loved since you were a child and share that with the world? That's how I would describe this film, a labor of child-like love. Does money matter when you're doing what you love? No. Because it's all about the heart. And this film's heart is bigger than any blockbuster on the market. That counts for something. I don't want to be elitist and say that if you don't like this film then you just don't get it, because honestly that's too easy. I'll say instead that if you don't like this film, then you simply haven't seen enough movies. Enough to know the difference between a movie made for profit versus a movie made for sheer love and devotion for the medium; for the idea and for the experience. Those movies are not for everyone, they can't be. They're for the ones of us who enjoy the unique and random exposure to something original and are willing to take a chance that it might be a total bomb. The zombie genre isn't original. But this film is. And it made this fan feel like a kid again. That is why I love it, why I own it, and why I re-watch it often.

"Hide And Creep" is a zombie comedy from a southern-fried point of view on a very low budget. The film is directed by Chuck Hartsell and Chance Shirley, "Hide And Creep" actually forgets it is low budget horror and so did I. The story was pretty tight and well thought out and the humor was spot on throughout most of the film. This indie zomedy stars Chuck Hartsell, Michael Shelton, Kyle Holman, Chris Garrison to name a few in a story of the undead apocalypse with a Dixie beltway, twistedly funny, sense of humor. Residents of small Southern town Thorsby, AL contend with bloodthirsty zombies, a mysterious flying saucer, and bad television reception."Hide And Creep"starts off right out with a pretty eye opening first scene that makes you realize you are about to watch a funny f*cking zombie movie. I know it was a good flick because my boyfriend hates these funny zombie films and he watched it all the way through with a smile on his face! Yeah that is a big deal because the only time he will watch a horror is if it is serious and intense. I on the other hand like the whole box of colors in my horror kit. Anyway back to my review. There was a considerable and serious amount of attention paid to the story and getting it as tight as possible. It worked great. The humor was low brow, spoofy and smart. Even the actors recruited for this projected committed completely to their characters and a few took it over-the-top enough to stand out as super f*cking funny!The special effects where really low budget-where talking back to Romero's original zombie film with the painted, ghoulish faces and few amp'd up zombies at all. It doesn't affect the quality of this film at all. The director owns this story and his budget completely and with the self-confidence of a Hollywood movie maker. You can when you have a good story that you believe in and the passion to do it justice. "Hide And Seek" is a true celebration of indie/low budget zombie movie making and as embraceable to the horror fan, zombie fan in particular, as "Night Of The Living Dead" and "Shaun Of The Dead". I completely enjoyed this film from beginning to end.

No question the movie is a comedy. No question it is low budget. No question the script "borrows" from the genre. No question the acting is not good, but enthusiastic. No question "Hide and Creep" can rightfully take it's place on the low budget fun shelf, next to the likes of "Inbred Redneck Alien Abduction", and "Night Feeders". The script seems to be a cocktail of zombie movie snippets, redneck jokes, and stereotypes. The film is fast moving, with little character development, nevertheless there are a few laugh out loud moments. If you look past the cheap effects, and latch onto the lighthearted idea of rednecks trying to outsmart zombies, you will be entertained. - MERK

I was pleasantly surprised by this flick. I expected another low-budget bad zombie movie, and what I got was a very good low-budget zombie movie. Once I got past the very cheap zombie makeup, I enjoyed the humor and the frequent nods to the zombie horror genre. Much of the humor in this film will probably play better to people who've lived in the South, but I think it has appeal for many genre fans."Hide and Creep" is a nice change from the usual crop of poor straight-to-video horror films that have been coming out of the South over the past few years. Unlike some of the terrible works by rather talentless directors such as Jeff Thomas, et al., Hartsell and Shirley's film isn't heavy-handed and full of religious agenda (see "13 Seconds" if you'd like to see what I'm talking about). Despite what was clearly a non-existent budget, the directors here did keep production values in mind to the extent they could afford them. I'd really like to see what they could do with a real budget and hopefully they've gotten one by now because these folks have a shot at doing something great in horror if they're given the chance.Considering that this was Hartsell & Shirley's first film, it's an excellent effort from two people who are obviously fellow horror fans. I hope to see more from them!
