Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse

• Comedy
• Horror

A raucous, unexpectedly R-rated horror-comedy throws three earnest Boy Scouts into a chaotic zombie apocalypse, forcing them to trade wilderness skills for shotgun proficiency. Beyond the expected gore and flesh-eating mayhem, the film distinguishes itself through a surprisingly heartfelt exploration of male friendship on the cusp of adulthood, punctuated by outrageous set pieces and a scene-stealing cocktail waitress who proves more capable than any merit badge. It’s a humorous subversion of both the zombie genre and the coming-of-age trope, leaning into intentionally absurd scenarios while grounded by the characters’ awkward attempts to navigate responsibility alongside the undead. The film plays with the tension between youthful innocence and brutal survival, creating a darkly comedic and unexpectedly endearing experience.
