The town of Jasper, Ala., was known as a top coal producer, but now it's "fame" is being the site of a low-budget zombie film in production for six years -- and counting. Amateurs work on the movie -- about friends trying to survive a zombie apocalypse in rural Alabama. The causes of delays include the director having a stroke and the lead's unplanned pregnancy. Now, a reality-TV crew follows those trying to surmount the obstacles to finishing "Thr33 Days Dead." But it may become a Syfy movie.

Brian Lowry Variety 10/07/2014
While this represents a lower-octane way to chase after The Walking Dead's footprint than the recent drama Z Nation, it's still a rather uninspired addition to reality TV's hillbilly chic craze, aimed at those apt to swallow anything they see on TV.

Town of the Living Dead is content to just skim the top of what could have otherwise been a really fascinating piece of work. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 10/14/2014

A cute documentary-style series about a group of novice small-town filmmakers who have spent six years trying to shoot a zombie movie called Thr33 Days Dead, the show... features funny characters whose rudimentary skills make for comical situations.

If you can get past the reality show gimmickry, Town of the Living Dead is entertaining in a ha-ha-look-at-the-amateurs-and-yocals kind of way. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide 10/07/2014
While I'm not usually a fan of this sort of show, and there are moments of supposedly "real" life in Jasper that are obviously staged, the series doesn't so much mock these yokels' ineptitude as admire their stubborn, proud tenacity. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

08/12/2015 I loved watching the wackiness of how they got this movie done and I'm super glad they succeeded. My enjoyment was heightened in finding out, that the last episode Was indeed the movie they were making through the whole season. High recommendation from me. See more Read all reviews
