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.
... View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
... View MoreAs much as I love all things zombie, then I also know from bitter experience that more than often is a zombie movie a swing and a miss. "Zomblies" was no different.First of all; the title! What was up with that? What was the whole thing with the added L? I just didn't understand that.Secondly, you would assume that a movie would require to have a storyline or at least something that even just remotely resembles a story and a plot. The storyline in "Zomblies" was six feet under here, no pun intended, and it never even got close to unearthing itself. It was just a bunch of people running around and away from zombies that were also running. No! Just no!There was very little acting in "Zomblies", but of course why would there be any acting in a movie where all that was going on was running around and shooting zombies?And the zombie make-up. Again no! Just no! It was the typical low budget zombie make-up, well, or rather lack thereof. First rule of a zombie movie is proper special effects and make-up. Rule two, no running zombies. Rule three, a proper storyline. "Zomblies" failed on every account.If you are a zombie aficionado, stay clear of this movie, unless you are nurturing a hangover and just need a mindless, no pun intended, movie to pass the time.
... View MoreCould have been a good movie with the story line.C grade acting with some good special affects.Some of them should have also researched on how a weapon is held and how a tactical unit patrol in formation. The movie comes across as a few mates have got together wanting to film their own zombie movie, which always ends in failure. I turned the movie off after 10 minutes.In these 10 minutes I noticed when the elite unit came out of the water they were not wearing breathing apparatus so not sure what the point was having them rise up out of a stream when they would have entered into it and then only be under for a minute or so. They also came out of the stream wearing black pants and then later they changed to army camouflage pants.If this isn't a group of mates, the casting team did a terrible job. I would hate to believe that this group of guys was an elite unit, because if so I think the zombies would easily overcome the UK within a week.
... View MoreMost of the other zombie flicks in this category are complete piles of garbage. Zomblies seems to pull through and live up to B-movie status. If 28 days/weeks later left you wanting more then Zomblies can deliver a satisfying remedy.For the most part the FX were done very well for being a film with a budget under 10k. The only hangup that I had to get over was the dubbed audio. In places it just felt weird, but I quickly got over that fact. The practical FX were executed very well and the acting was decent. I'm glad they didn't spend much time on the Government/General as it's usually in those segments in zombie movies where they lose momentum. The Government is always seen as emotionless and flippant, and gets an immediate eye roll when seen in almost every B grade zombie movie. Go watch this FOR FREE on youtube, another great move by the producers, or you can purchase the 1080p version on iTunes.Very well done!
... View MoreThis small little film packs a wallop! Right away it's starts on the zombie action and does not let up for a minute! Yeah! This is some talent to watch for sure. The music score was right on target and appropriate. No Oscar caliber performances here but some great decent acting with an amateur cast. It caught me off guard in a couple scenes for some real genuine scares and made me jump! (Not an easy thing to do) The special effects were decent enough and quick enough so you don't linger on the CGI too much. There are quite a few scenes that were very good and suspenseful. Almost like an intense Video Game about Zombies , but good nonetheless.There really isn't too much of a story line but who cares? It's all about Zombie action! I hope there is a sequel. Definitely worth watching again! Love the motorcycle scene!
