Load of rubbish!!

hyped garbage

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

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.

One of the worst movies i have ever seen, how can they even call it a movie. not to forget one of the most racist crap out there,Talking about the story, which didn't even existed, they don't tell you how it got started, what happened and how it ended 29 weeks later,its a shame to the zombie genre, horror genre and the horror comedy genre.Not even a good kill to show for all the money that went down the drain on this thing.Even porn movies have better stories.Those who have already seen this thing, my condolences,those who haven't stay away,save your money and save your time.

This film offers no real surprises. Thats pretty much this movie in a nut shell. Its your typical zombie fare with just a few extra political and social themes thrown in to try and give you characters that aren't the norm for this kind of flick. The plot is kept simple, in this film, the zombie virus is used by terrorists as a biological weapon (I know, its the animated Resident Evil plot. Just go with it) Stupidly, its unleashed on a small ISLAND community... Isn't that kinda the worst possible place for this kind of thing? If you wanted to kill a lot of people, wouldn't you release it on the mainland or a major city so it can spread? Anyway, I digress. The meat of the film is nothing special, typical zombie outbreak with a few gay jokes thrown in to give the slower members of the audience a giggle. But this film does deliver where its needed, its a true B movie, with ridiculous and one dimensional antagonists. Along with main characters who were clearly written with the thought "How can we get the most puns out of these guys?"Really, the true and honest glory of this film comes towards the end, when one of the cardboard villains mentioned above (I won't spoil who) gets attacked by a zombie, who rips his arm off and proceeds to beat him to death with it. I kid you not, I watched that scene at least 4 times. I wouldn't say that this is a zombie flick that you HAVE to see. But you could definitely do worse. It knows what it is, and sticks to just how corny the writing is and delivers what anyone with brain would expect from a film with this kind of budget. Go watch it, but don't expect to fall in love with it.

First off I'd like to address the audio issue, whoever mastered this needs to learn that when something is only 20ft away is doesn't need a second worth of reverb this caused pretty much any noise off screen to sound incredibly awful. This is something that shouldn't be a problem even in a low budget film it would've been better off with no processing.As for the zombie scenes I was actually surprised at the quality of makeup and acting during these scenes, some of the effects were noticeably low budget but overall quite impressive for what they had to work with, there was a lot of camera cuts which seemed a little over done.In the political sense it addressed several issues touching on homosexuality, religion, mayoral office, and the middle east. it did seem to overemphasize them but perhaps that was the point. I only had a problem with how they were trying to make a point it detracted from the flow of the movie, there would be one scene where they're fighting zombies and then the entire mood changes to make political point it seemed like the writer wrote a political movie then an editor came along and said what do you think of adding zombies. The scenes didn't mesh together and felt forced.The cast seemed a good fit for the characters they played, however the acting was definitely B-film quality I'd say the gay couple and the Iranian girl were by far the best actors/actress of the film. The Iranian father's actions and lines seemed rehearsed and forced. The zombies seemed as you would imagine from most zombie movies slow, stupid and bloodthirsty.In conclusion a Zombies of Mass Destruction is a zombie film crashed into a political movie and didn't have any insurance to fund the collision repair, which makes for decent zombie killing action mixed with b-c class acting and interruptions of over-exaggerated political views, when I say interruptions I mean it takes on the mood of an entirely different movie.

On the small island town of Port Gamble, a virus is unleashed and a zombie outbreak ensues. My wife was nodding off so I realized this zombie movie might've started a bit slow.A blind man finds a rotted corpse washed upon a shore, he's bitten while the screen fades to black. Slowly, but surely we start to see the living dead moving about at a distance while the daily routine continues. We are introduced to a few of the citizens. A successful, but gay, Wall Street broker(Doug Fahl) wants to come out to his mother while his lover(Cooper Hopkins) tags along as support. He has the misfortune of experiencing his mom's turn into a zombie after being infected by a bite from a shop owner. A widower Iranian restaurant owner(Ali Hamedani) and his daughter(Janette Armand) have a difficult relationship because he's "old fashioned" and true to his beliefs while she embraces the American way of life. A dysfunctional family, the Millers,(some would consider them "white trash")are introduced to us cursing and bickering with each other. Mr. Miller(Russell Hodgkinson), who at first offers our Iranian girl sanctuary from the zombie mass that grows in number, gives Frida a hard time, tying her up and asking her questions about our great nation to see if she is a terrorist(!). A preacher(Bill Johns), whose congregation has dwindled, fears his good friend the Mayor(James Mesher), will have his hands full during a new campaign as a fellow running mate(Cornelia Moore) emerges, who herself is considered quite a threat due to her progressive, liberal views. Frida attempts to appeal to the Miller's weak-willed son, Brian(Andrew Hyde), who is afraid of his father, as she desires to be set free. Meanwhile, Frida's father goes on the hunt to find her, actually kind of enjoying the thrill of pulverizing locals, in particular his daughter's slacker boyfriend(Ryan Barret) who was feasted on before her eyes. The film mocks religion as the local pastor proclaims that Armageddon is upon the earth and that JC would be arriving soon. Also established is the fear of Middle Eastern society(Muslims/Arabs) in regards to Frida and her father. Part of the film's comedy focuses in on homophobia and how certain individuals in the town aren't exactly keen on accepting the newly arrived gay couple..we see that the more religious among them are willing to convert our homo heroes in some sort of "conversion machine". Frida has to defend herself against not only Mr. Miller but her father as well(the damn pizza man got him!). Oh and one must get a load of the "conversion room" sequence while Hal, the mayor, himself completes his own conversion..into a flesh-eating zombie. Well, zombie fans do get plenty of gore as expected such as bodies torn asunder, an arm ripped from it's socket and beat over the victim, gushing blood(gallons of it), hammer embedded in the skull, faces taken off by shotgun blasts, weed eater damage, machete slicing, a face skinning, an undead eats her own eyeball, and a little girl is run through by a speeding car. Family members kill each other as often can happen when the infection removes the humanity of those unfortunate enough to have contacted the virus. In regards to originality, this particular genre has yielded so many zom- coms and horror films in recent memory, that besides introducing us to specific characters during the course of a movie, there's little else filmmakers can contribute that hasn't already been established elsewhere. The outbreak for this movie is released by a terrorist and so the town is quarantined with a choice few able to keep themselves from being lunch, hoping to remain alive as help arrives in the military. But, zombie fans are a peculiar few, and while my joy for the genre is waning, I reckon the faithful will find much to be entertained by. The zombies of this film move the same as those in a Romero movie, giving those not infected a fighting chance to defend themselves.
