It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

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.

I was genuinely impressed with this low budget flick! It was not at all what I expected. I went in expecting some slapstick hijinks about dead people trying to live in modern world, but wound up engrossed in an insightful and thought provoking film. ************************spoilers ahead********************** There were a few flaws such as flat lighting / cinematography at certain points, and I found the end scenes in the "bad" zombie house to be a little over the top, and some people might not like how the zombies can still feel pain etc. However, I found the camera work and editing top notch, all of the actors were generally believable as real people. I found the commandant to be a truly terrifying and WONDERFULLY portrayed character. Yeah, not much else to say about this movie. I loved it, hope the cast and crew keep up the good work. You could tell this was a real labor of love. It was a shining gem amidst all the other low budget / Indie zombie films out there today.

This is a weird one to review. I mean, the first part is really bad, but the second part is as gory as hell. Let me explain. The first minutes you see how they attack a zombie but the zombie talks normal and has normal clothes on, so I thought OMG this is going to be worse. And it was, the first 45 minutes are really stupid, face it, zombies gathering together to talk about their life. And the make-up made for zombies to look alive. Really, I was ready to push the fast-forward button but somehow I kept watching. But once things go weirder and weirder you really should wait until the go into the woods. From that point on it's gore galore with decapitations, eating guts, tearing bodies apart, biting into human flesh, heads being shot to bits. But naturally the first part tears it down and that's sad. If they would have made it a bit shorter it would have been great. On the other hand, the girls who are in this flick are mostly buxom chicks and wearing short skirts but that doesn't make a flick. Also funny to see is that they cut out some nudity concerning a whore. One tot was shown but was cut out why I don't know. But it's available in the deleted scene's. Not that it was sexy or anything but it's strange to cut that part out of a movie. The acting was mediocre but the movie do needs the gory parts to deliver the gorehounds. If you can sit through the first half part than it's okay to watch.

I tend to rent a lot of direct to video movies. I know I shouldn't, because most of these films are garbage, and renting them only puts money into the pockets of greedy hacks, but every once in a while you find a gem like Zombies Anonymous.YES: The lighting sucks.YES: Thespecial effects are lame.YES: The videography is mediocre and the editing a rough in spots, but you know what? The writing is really good.I was able to overlook all of the low budget flaws because there is actually an interesting story to be had in ZA. I won't go into it here because I want you to RENT THIS MOVIE! I almost didn't, it was stuck all the way down in the Z section and the cover art was horrible, but I took the plunge at brought it home. I am glad I did.The only real drawback to this movie is that the two major action set pieces go on FOREVER, and only highlight the low budget. These are both in the final third of the video and they drag down the momentum. There also seems to be a scene missing toward the end, because I was lost for half a scene before I realized "oh that's who that is, and that's what's going on.". With all these technical problems I still give this movie a 9 out of 10. If more no budget film makers made movies like this (smart, funny, and entertaining) then maybe Hollywood would take notice and start making good movies as well. Not because it's a trend but because it's a matter of life and death.

I just caught this at the New York Horror Film Festival. It was the best movie in the festival, by far. Absolutely original story, a really cool twist to the whole zombie genre. Here, the zombies become the worlds new second class, and face discrimination and beatings by hooligans. They start to form terrorist groups and a war breaks out. I love this movie because this is the first zombie film I've seen where you actually root for the zombies! The hero of the movie is a girl who is shot to death in the first scene by her crazy ex boyfriend and has to adjust to life as one of the walking dead. She's really likable, and very cute and goes through a lot during the course of this movie. I love the scenes where she joins the zombie support group. There's so much going on here, its hard to get it all across in a brief review, but this movie is funny, scary, exciting and action packed. There's some incredible action sequences, and the gore and violence is non-stop. There's some amazing flesh eating scenes, and the movie has some really genuinely dramatic scenes, like a scene when one character is turned into a zombie and cries for his mother as his friends have to finish him off. The movie is also stylishly shot, and has some awesome music. When this movie gets released, definitely check it out. It's one of the best independent horror films I've ever seen.
