Certainly not the first zombie comedy out there, also not the best, nor the worst. Zom 100 is pretty amusing and is partly saved by the somewhat grotesque ending, but don't watch this film if you want anything original. The zombie genre has been brain-dead for decades, and it doesn't seem like that's about to change anytime soon.

There's a bit of fun to be had with the premise, though the intro takes a bit too long (which goes for the entire film in fact). I had to wait until the finale to see something that got me truly hooked (the zombie end boss is plenty amusing). Pretty decent horror fluff, as long as you keep your expectations in check.
