Why so much hype?

Nice effects though.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I have watched many zombie movies as it is my favorite type of movie.But I think this movie was pretty boring, I would prefer to see the ending where they bomb LA than to keep watching each of them trying to become a hero. I could tell off the bat that the actors weren't that Hollywood quality we are used to.As for the zombies themselves really bad work on the makeup unfortunately, if you really play close attention and pause where the zombie is on the screen, you can see the mask fail near the edges.It was a good movie to watch when your in the mood to waste an hour and a half.

I recorded this movie along with several others to watch at random right before Halloween. This is when I get in the mood to binge- watch scary movies. Many of these movies are low-budget, but that doesn't necessarily mean terrible.It begins at a party with young twenty-somethings. Right away, it starts off with terrible acting, other than the main character, John (Justin Ray). He does a decent job. The worst performance is by the character, Turner (Jerod Meagher), who happens to be John's brother. I was hoping he would disappear soon in the movie because his acting is so spastic and distracting.The morning after the party is when devastation begins. It's actually pretty scary, especially when they don't know what's happening. When things get serious, Turner begins to calm down, thankfully, or else I would have had to stop the movie. As a less spastic Turner, his acting improves, which I'm thankful for. Being an obvious low-budget movie, means no amazing special effects and no big-name actors. In order for this movie to stand on its own, both the story and the actors need to be decent. As this movie progresses, the acting among the group of survivors holds-up and the story continues be fairly creepy. It was enough to keep me hooked. Because of this, I have to give this movie a higher rating. If you like survival movies, then you may like this one. While I wouldn't pay to see it in a movie theater, it is a decent movie to watch at home. Even my daughter, who was making fun of it in the beginning, was also hooked about 10 minutes in.

After seeing some truly terrible zombie movies, I in all honesty was expecting Disaster L.A to be the same. Fortunately, while far from a good movie, it's pretty bad on the whole actually, Disaster L.A is a long way from being one of the worst zombie movies.Unlike zombie movies like Vampegeddon, Zombie Nation, Zombie Night and Vampires vs. Zombies, Disaster L.A does have a few redeeming merits. The effects and make-up could have been far worse than they were, in fact compared to those of most other zombie movies they're impressive, the meteor effects are some of the better ones personally seen for a disaster movie. The acting on the whole is awful, but Justin Ray does make a real effort to give his role some charisma, while the opening scene is thrilling and the music score has some quite creepy moments.However, despite starting well Disaster L.A is more yawn-inducing than fun, scary or thrilling. The rundown-parking-lot-like sets are incredibly basic, some of the movie is too darkly lit, editing is chaotic especially in the zombie scenes and a truly amateurishly staged confrontation in a car and the whole movie looks drab. Aside from Ray, the acting is awful, more underplaying to the point of somnambulance than anything else. A big dishonourable mention has to go to the unbearably obnoxious Jerod Meagher. The movie also really wastes the zombies, for characters that are meant to be the stars they are treated like fairly insignificant secondary characters. There's very few of them (only three at most), they are in so few scenes and when they do appear not only are their scenes staged in a lumbering way but they do not come over as very frightening and they acted towards the other characters very indifferently.The script is to sum up in one word atrocious and constantly cringe-worthy, no unintentional laughs in sight, while the characters are cardboard and annoying, with no development or even redeeming qualities. The direction is so characterless it feels like there isn't even any after the opening sequence, and the story is a predictable bore with awkwardly staged zombie scenes and disaster scenes that are ridiculous to the extent that tension and suspense are nil.Overall, has a few things in its favour, other than that Disaster L.A induces more yawns than thrills. 4/10 Bethany Cox

I am all for a small budget movie. Sometime the best movies are the ones that are not meant for Hollywood and then, there are movies like this one. Generic plot, check Terrible love sub plot, check. Actors closer to 40 than 20, check. Overacting to the point that it looks like he's about to burst a blood vessel, check. sleeping through multiple explosions, check Debris falling from ceiling, but nothing on the floor afterwards, check. Running, check. More running, check. Still more running, check. Lead actor telling other people what to do, check. Finding out the guy does actually have a wonky eye and it's really annoying, check. Freaking about where your brother is, instead of calling right away, check. Panicking far too much, check. Brother not understanding the importance of the situation because it's party time, check. Ugly green tinge to the film, check. More debris falling, glass breaking, still nothing on the floor, check. Going outside, really?, check. Zombie girlfriend needs a shower, OK?, check. Really, really, really bad zombie make-up, check, double check, triple check. That's a far as I could make it. I really do hope he got those car keys.
