Premise: Five university students discover ancient mummies in the library storage. Once the students steal their stone of life, the mummies awaken as zombies and seek revenge.

The Good: Some parts of this could be called so bad its good. It sets out to be a cheesy D-list horror movie, and in a lot of ways it succeeds. There are plenty of bad movies where the badness makes them hilarious. However, most of the time bad movies are just boring. Calamity of the Zombie Girl is firmly on the boring side of that spectrum, but every so often it finds that rare moment of stupid brilliance and manages to become slightly entertaining. I mean, if zombies playing superpowered basketball isnt slightly entertaining, I dont know what is.

The Bad: I mostly covered the bad in the good section, I think. This movie is mostly boring and nonsensical. The characters are selfish morons who barely have personalities. The production values are some of the worst Ive ever seen. This movie has very little going for it except for the occasional stupid moment being just the right kind of stupid to be mildly fun.

Overall: Calamity of the Zombie Girl is not just the worst anime movie Ive ever seen, its one of the worst movies Ive ever seen period. I had to talk about something in this write-up and I chose so bad its good moments, but I dont want anyone to watch this expecting to be entertained. The funny-bad is depressingly rare. Thats just the only thing this dumpster fire has going for it.
