Truly Dreadful Film

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

An infectious epidemic spreads rapidly through India as an American turbine engineer learns that his pregnant girlfriend is trapped near the slums of Mumbai. Now he must battle his way across a 300-mile wasteland of the ravenous undead, helping people in their hour of need while racing to rescue his girlfriend and unborn child.Having never seen the first movie, and the slew of straight to DVD horror movies appearing literally every week on the shelves of several stores, my expectations for this film were virtually non-existent.And while the film suffers from your usual problems with low budget movies (bad CGI, some questionable acting), it's an effective old school horror movie, and in essence, it's an old fashioned love story of a man going above and beyond his means to be with the one he loves.As a Zombie movie, it's atypically generic, which is very refreshing for a change because recent Zombie movies have tried to give there own spin on the Romero led genre, and as a grown man who sometimes wonders how you'd survive through a Zombie Apocalypse (let's face it, we all have), I think everyone would prefer to have the slow moving zombies rather than the running, intelligent ones.Millson is great as the boyfriend on a mission, and his journey is unbelievably harrowing in some scenes, and there is one particular scene involving him and a mother and child trapped a car that would put the ending of the mist to shame.He teams up with a young child for the majority of the film, and at times I was reminded of the chemistry between Ford and Huy Quan in a Temple Of Doom, there's a paternal element to their relationship, and it's the most believable part of the film.Whilst travelling through India to rescue his girlfriend, he encounters a lot of segregation all type violence, and there are a few riffs on the class factor that affects large countries, but also, it reminded me so much of Resident Evil 5, the film has the same tension as the game, and the zombies, no matter how far or close they are, still have that same effect the had since Romero let them loose.It's easily the best 'traditional' Zombie movie since Dawn Of The Dead, it's terrifically written, shot, and the score is pretty haunting.The only negatives I have, is the way the subplot involving the girlfriend is handled (a very soap opera kind of feel to it), and a really random twist at the end involving a the young boy and leaving his teddy bear behind, a total misfire.But otherwise, if you like this sub-genre of horror film, you'll be in for a treat.

"Nicholas Burton" (Joseph Millson) is an electrical engineer who is currently in India working on wind farms. His girlfriend, "Ishani Sharma" (Meenu Mishra) has just told him she is pregnant and he is determined to go to Mumbai to see her as soon as possible. Unfortunately, a zombie epidemic has suddenly erupted which seriously jeopardizes everything. Now, rather than reveal any more of the movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this film greatly resembles its predecessor in a number of ways. Although there is only a slight connection to the original film I actually think this sequel is slightly better because it adds more of a human element. However, just the like the first film it is a dry zombie picture with absolutely no humor or anything else which deviates from the horror at hand. And while I have no doubt that true zombie fanatics will appreciate this movie, I also think that it might appeal to other viewers as well because it isn't one of those cheap-looking zombie films by any means. Accordingly, I rate it as slightly above average.

I rarely buy movies but after borrowing this one from a friend,watching it and realizing what a great movie this was; I felt that I had an obligation to support the makers. Guys this isn't a big budget film. Its made by people with a ridiculously low budget. I couldn't believe how good this movie was given the budget.The plot, pacing, suspense and visuals were amazing. The only minor complaint I have is the acting. However, given the budget even that was not too bad. In order to keep having independent gems like this coming out they need our support. So if you haven't already bought this movie, go do it now! Trust me it's a quality zombie movie that rivals the big budget productions. You won't be disappointed.

Most fans of zombie movies have had to sit thru some really bad zombie movies in the past few years.Anyone that has seen the 2010 "The Dead " film ,by the Ford brothers , knows that the afore mentioned film is a solid ,kick-ass zombie romp.Not to be confused with any George Romero "Dead" films ,the Fords style ,story-telling ,and love for these films stands to take the test of time.The new one wont let you down.The movie has that same feel ,and engaging effect of story ,plot ,and people you do care about .That NatGeo thing going on in the first film is also here ,with the plot concerning traveling thru a country fill with the shambling dead. I am a fan of the "slow-moving zombie " ,first made famous by G. Romero from his living dead films ,and get more tension out of half a dozen closing in on the hero;s ,instead of 50 swarming , blurs.Also ,i like to see big -ass holes slowly bit out of helpless victims,squirming to get free.Thanks to good acting ,story ,and effects ,this film will live on much longer than a lot of these cutesy-comedy ,lame fart -blowing bubble gum , easy to forget ,or just plain skip on .As far as the landscape ,sets ,props ,and soundtrack ,things were outstanding ! If you saw part 1 ,you;ll hate yourself for not seeing part 2 .Do it for yourself ,your loved one;s ...hell ,do it for the slow-moving zombie return .Just see it !
