I recently watched Zombie with a Shotgun (2019) on Prime. The storyline follows a group of friends trying to survive a zombie outbreak. One of the friends appears to be infected, but his symptoms are unique compared to others. As the friends debate whether to trust or follow their infected companion, they are pursued by agents who seem to have a hidden agenda for them.

This film is written and directed by Hilton Ariel Ruiz (The Outsiders) and stars Braeden Baade (One Under the Sun), Kyle Hester (The Chair), Emilie Paap (Awaken the Reaper), and Jeremy Fultz (The Greed of Men).

This is a very frustrating film that feels like it was made for television, with some splashes of nudity. The writing and acting are poor, and even the kills, including those with the shotgun, are disappointing. The makeup and creation of the zombies are excellent and easily the best part of the film, but they aren't featured nearly enough. The plot is clichéd and unimaginative, and the "cult" aspects come out of nowhere and feels awkward. Everything about this movie is underwhelming.

In conclusion, Zombie with a Shotgun has nothing going for it. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping.
