Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

GL84 During a massive zombie apocalypse, a man who lost his family joins up with various other locals who've been affected by the ordeal to try to find a way to save his remaining family from the ravenous creatures as they encounter those attempting to study how the zombies function.This here turned out to be quite an impressive effort. One of the few bright spots for this one is the fact that there's a slew of stellar action scenes throughout here that play up the fun zombie encounters. From the beginning, where the opening shots of the crew retrieving the truck from a horde of creatures starts this out on a high note which includes the enjoyable and rather exciting battle in the suburbs where it attacks the friend in the garage during the photoshoot turning them into zombies as well as the family's battle to get out of their infested neighborhood. That offers this one with plenty to like and enjoy about it during the proper time which offers up plenty of great moments about them navigating out of the house battling the creatures and setting up the other fun encounters here. The inclusion of the government conspiracy saddled amongst the early action scenes gives this a solidly chilling air about it as the series of tests committed against the local abducted woman allows this to feature some creepy moments about their experiments. The idea of the van full of infected roaming around the countryside carrying on these experiments is a notably creepy idea to start with, and the various scenes showcased here offer up a great twist which is paid off with the later half involving the woman who's half-human, half-zombie that is given the especially powerful new powers of being able to control the creatures telepathically which has a lot of quality moments to like here. The idea itself is incredibly clever and unique which allows for more fun action to come in the final half as well. Coupled with the stellar make-up and gore effects on the multitude of zombies shown throughout here, this has more than enough to hold out over the few minor flaws featured. Among the few flaws here is the film's rather obvious lack of explaining anything that's going on. The concept of the billowing gas cloud they emit as being as source of ignitable fuel is a clever touch, maintaining the idea that the space virus is affecting people of a specific blood-type is ingenious and the military group experimenting on the zombies makes sense yet none of these elements are ever brought together to make any kind of cohesive storyline. These are all issues which play a big role in how the story plays out which is what makes it important to understand the different ideas at play here and is instead not even touched on at all. There's also the stinging issue of the low-budget being quite apparent and noticeable in here, offering up plenty of issues from the rather irritating CGI bloodsplatter to the silly costumes and the utterly irritating and frustratingly annoying shaking camera featured in the big action scenes that make it hard to realize what's happening. These here are what really hold it down.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and drug use.

Bob Jim First of all, this movie is a 6.5, not 6 nor 7.Now, for the problems.My main issue with the movie, was the supporting character - That black guy. He was SO freaking annoying, and ruined perfectly dramatic & good moments. This was the first thing that made me lower the rating from 10 to 9.The second thing is the main character. At the beginning, he was relateable as in acted as everyone. He had a daughter & a wife and pretty much a perfect life (from what we see in the beginning). But... Where did the person go? Where did the guy, who wanted to go out with his family go? He was replaced by a "LETS KILL ALL THE ZOMBIES YYAARRGG IM ANGRY" guy, and every time we saw some of the old (and better) guy, with actual emotions and depth, the black guy ruined the damn moment. "Can I finish the beer?" While the MC is crying over their friend. WTF.And the last thing, is the beginning. At first they started it as "So what's your story?" And I guessed they'll give out their stories from the FAR past, not like a day ago when they met. They could have just started out the movie with the MC's story instead of "what's your story" because the MC's story already got us caught with the present.Now, for the good things about the movie.First, you can actually feel the danger and fear (And sometimes even anger) they get from the zombies. They are not all powerful characters and they don't really try to act like it. Secondly, the beginning was beautiful. A man losing everything without being able to kill himself right after he killed his zombified wife & daughter. I expected such depth for the rest of the movie, but alas- I was wrong. The only other time such depth was reached was when the old person got infected in the car.Secondly, the super-human sister brain-controlling zombies sub-story that integrates into the main one is really cool in my opinion.Thirdly, the action is good and interesting, not just BOOM BOOM BOOM. (But of course there's also BOOM BOOM BOOM).And lastly... The ending is so goddamn satisfying. I like this movie. There is much you can improve here, but still.

Stephen Abell If you, like myself, have started to become bored with the "Zombie-Fest" the film companies have given us, from the remakes of George Romero's classics to Zombie Nazi's to World War Z, then this is a great big breath of fresh air... or not (you'll get that joke once you watch the film).What you get here is the classic opening and cause for the Zombie plague, a group of falling stars which changes the chemical make-up of the air. The change forces the population to become Zombies, except for one particular blood group... these are our survivors.Along the way you get their stories, an army with a suspect mission, a mad professor with an insane plan to help the human race, and the next generation of Zombie. Even though all of this has been done before in other films, the vigour with which the director, Kiah Roache-Turner gives the film, and the twists to the "Zombie Myths" which the writers, Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner, add give this film and the particular genre a much-deserved kick in the arse.The actors were great and did a fantastic job on the characterisations. I especially liked Leon Burchell as Benny, who blows a guys head off to find he wasn't a Zombie, to which he runs over to the corpse and shouts, "Is he okay? Is he gonna be okay?"The first time I saw Barry, the main hero, I wasn't too sure of his character or the actor playing him, Jay Gallagher. I was wrong about my initial opinion on the character and actor, as his story is one of loss, anger, revenge, and growth, and shows what kind of psychological journey you would take should the Zombie Apocalypse occur.Bianca Bradey did a wonderful job of portraying Barry's sister Brooke, who is a strong, intelligent, take-no-crap, woman. Frank, played by Keith Agius, is a wonderful character who has a great depth to him, the scene in the stalled truck is brilliant. The mad professor is greatly over-acted by Berynn Schwerdt making him a wonderful psychopath.This film is so chock-full of so many different things, even genres, comedy, action, thriller, with horror being the main genre and I was grateful that the horror feel stayed throughout. I was waiting to be dismayed when it all eventually fell apart. Like watching a plate twirler, you're expecting a plate to fall and smash, and once that happens usually all the other plates follow. When the end came and the credits rolled, I was wearing a big smile on my face, thanks guys for a great film.I caught this as it aired on Film4 though now I'm looking to pick up a copy so I can throw it at my friends while screaming, "WATCH THIS!"This is a MUST WATCH for any Zombie-ites out there.

joeendymion such a fun movie! just the ending is kind of sloppy, not a little, very sloppy. well, still very entertaining, worth my time watching, the ending could be better. And there are many questions re not answered yet, like who those military guys are? what are they doing? why do they take those zombies and humans for tests? what are the lab tests about? is the sister a zombie? a half-zombie? why and how did she have the ability to control the zombies? as a zombie movie, it is very different, very creative. --------------------------------- such a fun movie! just the ending is kind of sloppy, not a little, very sloppy. well, still very entertaining, worth my time watching, the ending could be better.
