Good movie but grossly overrated

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Attempting to live their lives in Southern Florida, a group of teens finds their town has been overrun by ravenous, voracious zombies created through a government experiment and tries to save their loved ones from succumbing to the creatures.Overall this one wasn't all that bad and had some rather decent moments about it. One of the film's big positives here is the rather strong story here that offers up a rather distinct and unique approach to the genre in that there's such little downtime here that it never really slows down all that often. While it does make a minimal effort at the beginning to introduce the gang as they begin their set-up for the party while still at school, this is all supplemented by the creatures beginning to make their way through the town and taking out a few victims which sets the stage for the film's main series of ambushes here with this one basically becoming one long battle scene afterward. This here really whips up quite a large amount of confrontations here as part of the battle scenes, with absolutely chaotic scenes of the zombies chasing after them down city streets and into a bar, down into the woods and streams of the area, into a house party on the edge of town and finally into their high school where each one of these areas comes complete with plenty of stylish and thrilling confrontations that makes this fun. This near-continuous assault of action in here makes this a wholly enjoyable and impressive effort by eliminating the drag and replacing it with non-stop action here as this one augments that fine action with the absolutely impeccable concept of the running zombies idea by overloading them in here to the point of overkill, featuring hundreds of zombies in many of the scenes that truly makes their plight look all the more hopeless. The savagery of their attacks makes for quite a fun time here spilling out gallons of gore from the numerous kills here as the bodily dismemberment gets quite frequently employed here, and it really makes for a great time here with these numerous positives. There's a few small problems here, one of which is the fact that this one is so quick as to be almost frustratingly short and incomplete, as if there are a few scenes missing along the way as it hurtles along towards it's ending. This is certainly a film where a little extra scenes put in might've helped it out somewhat as this one just tends to end rather quickly, purposefully setting up a sequel that hasn't happened yet. Of course, one easy fix to this actually could've come from the film itself, as the attack scenes here are so chaotic and haphazardly shot that there's nothing at all possible to gleam from such action other than the bare minimum. All it showcases are hundreds-of-zombies-running-after-the-heroes or zombies-being-put-down but that's just about it, leaving everything to disorganized and frantic that it could've been a little easy-going with the editing and shooting to let the attacks get some space to breathe as some of these scenes really should've been able to be watchable at some point. While it does get a little too aware of its low-budget nature at times, this is still enjoyable enough at times.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Language, Extreme Graphic Violence and Brief Nudity.

I pride myself on my zombie movie collection and had to add this to the collection. I am glad I didn't pay full price for this movie for an entire myriad of reasons.Going in, I knew I had seen most zombie movies out there that have any kind of production value or genius behind them, so I knew this wouldn't be great going in, but even keeping up with my low expectations was too much for this movie.Plot- makes no sense. Typical for lower budget zombie movies though. SPOILER- there is one point where the characters are holding a door shut from the zombies outside, and not 1 minute later they open that same door to escape and there are no zombies in sight...Acting- horrible. Special Effects- One of the only saving graces for this film, BUT the shaky-cam sequences ruin them (probably to mask lesser quality effects). The effects that are clear are pretty decent though. SPOILER- the fetus kill was pretty neat the first time I saw it for the shock value, but that's it. But seriously, why is the main character constantly cocking the shotgun without firing it? That is annoying.Ending- cliffhanger ending, OK whatever. The sequel keeps getting pushed back, and quite frankly I'm not heartbroken over that. Honestly, if I didn't enjoy screamo music, this movie wouldn't have left any good impressions. That, and the brief boob shot at the beginning of the movie...

typical low-budget horror flick, creative but not very original. i bought this movie out of a Walmart $5 bin, not expecting much but i did get what i paid for. Overall story line is good, the graphics were low budget but understandable, and they work with what they had. The cover picture of the copy i bought was a little far fetched to catch attention, but i was amused and entertained by the movie in general. One part of the movie made me cringe and almost turn it off when the Z pulled a child out of the pregnant teen girls stomach and ate it, they used a big band name (Panic! ate the disco) when going to town when we first saw the hoard sprinting down the street. The morgue scene was alright, with the first encounter, but ignoring the fact that when the assistant mortician was being pulled in the freezer on top of a pair of empty pants after supposedly being snapped in half. i enjoy watching low budget movies and this one was entertaining for the $50,000 budget they had. i give it a good rating for the reason that it kept my attention.

I am a bit mad for the moment. I have heard so much about this one so I bought me a limited hologram tin box edition. Man, it surely looks great, the blood almost runs from it but...but...I was tricked. I always are looking for the full uncut versions of horror flicks and here it was stated as full uncut but it ended after 68 minutes! So I will look out for Sunfilm releases next time. It's funny to see that the movie begins with a statement of the director to say that the quality isn't intended to be good, hahahaha. And indeed, it's all filmed in a very shaky way and almost always zoomed in a bit too much but indeed, it's a gory one. The storyline is written in 5 minutes but they didn't waist any money on the effects. If you are into fast running zombies and gory shots, well, don't hesitate.
