It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Honestly this is by far the best zombie movie I've seen in years. And thats saying a lot because im a huge fan of zombies. This movie has awesome characters that are unique and don't fit the normal cast of a zombie movie. The main character max is freaking awesome he doesn't speak he had a tragic screwed up childhood and he takes it out on zombies. He doesn't complain, and every time you think hes about to lose his sanity he starts freaking out by killing zombies with his 2 hatchets.Anyways.... The plot is pretty cool to... they keep it pretty straightforward and simple. The zombies look great excellent job on makeup etc... But the one thing i don't get is why the zombies run sideways in a weird monkey gait..... i guess the virus or whatever disables some part of there motor skills....some nice points i liked about the movie... -Zombies are fast and awesome looking -Max is the coolest zombie fighter I've ever seen (including comics I've read) -Max's Beard -More mohawks then I've ever seen in a movie...ever -MAx basically teaches the audience how to survive a zombie infestation the right way instead of the typical stupid ass decisions that zombie movie characters normally make -Proves arab (right? i think there arab, is that politically correct to say this?o well) can act in roles besides villains, or suicide bombers. -Great use of lighting and filming methods -Max's Beard... -max likes to screw with people lol...

What more is there to say..? This film sucks! Everything is bad; the acting, directing, the filming and the effects. The DVD-cover was attracting, but the film was rubbish! A friend of mine bought the film for 4 dollars, and we thought that this would be THAT good film because of the cover, as I mentioned earlier. It started as a pretty bad film, and transformed into something more worse as the time went. So, after watching it, I will not hesitate to put it on the list of the worst films I have seen in my life. And for those who say that it could have been worse: It could not have been worse!

These days I believe that everyone wants the same boring story with all sorts of cool special effects and to be wowed. This movie brings such an intensity to its genre and is a very special film. Sometimes, it is important for people to experiment and try something new and when you see this movie it is for sure something new. Now at times it can be slow but all in all the movie is terrific and it should be viewed by all those who have a taste in movies that are not part of the normal mainstream. So take a chance I think you will be presently surprised and if not then maybe you are just not into the independent horror/scifi/independent film. That's okay, see this movie with an open mind and leave and don't think hey compared to this and this it wasn't all that great. This is an original doesn't need to be compared just enjoyed and appreciated.

In the course of a year I watch app. 600-700 movies - and compared to most movies "The Vanguard" sucks big time. I really struggled to find a reason for why this movie was even made. I really wish all movie directors would spend more time thinking about what they want to say with their movies - instead of just collecting 90 minutes of worthless film and call it a movie.There's no plot - and the settings/scenery are unconvincing and the actors should really consider a career change, maybe somewhere in the fastfood or cleaning business - as they have no talent for anything, as this foul crap of a movie clearly shows.
