TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Nonureva Really Surprised!

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Scott LeBrun "Automaton Transfusion" mostly dispenses with such little things as story in this all out assault on your senses. A ferocious zombie epidemic (which does get an explanation late in the movie) occurs, and a small group of high school students flee for safety.That's pretty much all you need to know. Some horror fans may praise this blessedly brief bit of nonsense (76 minutes all told) for a breakneck pace, lots of action, the requisite onslaught of gore, and for having zombies that pursue their quarries at full speed. These elements may be more appreciated if only the whole thing weren't so derivative. There is nothing here that people haven't seen before; only unless they are die hard aficionados of zombie cinema should they even bother with this. (Even so, some viewers may be bored.)The largely stereotypical characters are mostly annoying and aren't fleshed out at all. The performances from the no name cast are no more than passable. Director / writer / editor Steven C. Miller appears on screen as a professor. The soundtrack is often overcome by hard pounding rock and metal music. The makeup effects are variable; sometimes there are good gore gags. The editing, and a camera that often refuses to stand still, merely serve to make things incoherent.If the only thing you watch zombie movies for is the flesh munching, then perhaps you'll find some value in all of this.This ends with a cliffhanger setting up a (belated) sequel.Five out of 10.

byxl Considering this movie was made on extremely tight budget and it gave me the impression of a mainstream type of horror flick, I must say, all things considered it's a masterpiece. Story might be shallow (but it's a Zombie movie people!), characters might be weak and the acting might be mediocre (with the exception of William Howard Bowman who was solid and very likable), but the visual presentation and the final product is worthy of a theatrical release. I still cannot believe the budget was $30,000! For those of you who are waiting for the World War of Z, or another mainstream Zombie movie, this is the thing to watch in order to fill the gap. I rate it - 9/10. Definitely for your DVD collection.

dragonrebornk6 This movie was a blast to watch, and felt different from other low-budget movies. For one thing, you could tell that the people in it were having fun making it. They weren't looking to be the next big thing. They just wanted to make a good, fun, zombie movie. The problem with a lot of movies today, is that people have become jaded. Everyone is a critic, and everyone believes that critics can only be negative. (Which is fairly true) I've seen quite a few dud zombie movie that get high marks just because of some silly mechanic, or some deeper message. For instance, Redneck Zombies got fairly positive reviews just because it was from Troya. I couldn't stand that move, and quit watching after 20 minutes. For a first effort, Automaton Transfusion was awesome. The acting, while not exactly "blockbuster" was better than a lot of SyFy movies. And when the end of the film comes, leaving you hanging as to the fate of our heroes, it only makes you wish they would get the next one done. If everyone is going to complain about the next Hollywood remake, or the next Hasbro cash-in, then they should try to see the good in those movies and companies that are making original titles. I for one would have rather seen the sequel to this movie in place of the abysmal "Clash of the Titans" remake.

boywithatoy First of all, I am a regular reader of reviews here on IMDb and most of the time the ratings are a pretty good indication of what the film is like but how in the hell did this get 4 stars? I can only assume that the people involved in making this film all set up fake accounts and gave it high marks. I actually had to register on here so I could write this review because I felt it was my duty to make sure no-one else wastes 75 minutes of their life watching this!Normally when someone slates a film on here I take it with a pinch of salt - but this movie really does suck. I don't mind low-budget pieces of crap, for instance I quite like the Feast trilogy, but before I watched this I saw "MegaShark vs Giant Octopus" and that was 10 times better than AT and you can imagine how dump "MegaShark vs Giant Octopus" is. I don't mind the low budget grainy film, I can even stand the awful acting (which mainly consists of lots of running whilst pathetic girls scream and cry) but what I can't stand is MASSIVE plot holes. Like other people have said, there's one scene in particular that doesn't make any sense. The four main characters are in a garage and they go out head to head with the zombies armed with various weapons then all of sudden two of the characters seem to fall out of the sky into a lake (where did that lake come from?) and one of the characters wasn't even one of the four who is in the garage and I have no ideas who she is or where she came from!The are so many other plot holes too. The other main one is that we find out in the last 10 minutes of the film that it was an army experiment but there just happens to be a serum that makes you immune so the 2 remaining characters go after it (we find this out from an army dude who is "undercover" as a janitor yet he is in full army gear and drives around in an army jeep - yeah, good disguise dude!). This serum plot wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that in the whole film no-one is actually bitten by a zombie, they are all completely ripped apart so even if you had the serum it wouldn't matter as you'd be dead from being ripped apart! This also begs the question - "if everyone gets ripped apart, where did all these zombies come from?". That's also not to mention how all the zombies are teenagers - it's meant to be a whole town that has been taken over yet, apart from the main dude's Dad, we don't see one zombie over the age of 19. What is this? Children of the Corn? I wished it was. Also, these zombies can find their victims by smelling them - even in some scenes breaking through walls and floors to get to them so how come they can't find one girl when she is hiding under a table in the same room!And the ending? "To be continued"? I think the credit at the end was meant to say "we've run out of money and we need to return the camcorder to the media lab before lessons start on Monday".Seriously, trust me when I say don't waste your time with this movie.
