Memorable, crazy movie

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Blistering performances.

While en route to Pancevo, Serbia to pick up a dangerous "prisoner" (played by Emilio Roso) some Interpol agents find themselves in the middle of a zombie outbreak and realize that their new mission is now just trying to stay alive. Anyway, for a low-budget, Serbian zombie movie this particular film wasn't too bad. The special effects were adequate, the action was brisk, the plot was decent and I liked the performance of Kristina Klebe (as "Agent Mina Milius") and to a lesser extent that of Ken Foree (as "Agent Mortimer Reyes") and the aforementioned Emilio Roso. But the script wasn't that good and I couldn't stand the role of the insane warrior known as "Armageddon" (Vukota Brajovic). Way too hokey. Be that as it may, while I am probably giving this movie a bit too much credit I must say that I have certainly seen worse zombie movies than this. Accordingly, I have rated this movie a little higher than most reviewers. Having said that however, I should also point out that I enjoy movies in this genre and I appreciate it when the director (in this case Milan Konjevic and Milan Todorovic) tries to make a straight zombie movie rather than something supposedly humorous—or even worse—a film that tries to be "so bad it's good". In any case, I can understand it if others don't share my opinion concerning this specific movie. Again, it may be something that only zombie fanatics can appreciate.

Uh-oh! There's been a chemical spill in Serbia, and you know what the means, right? Zombies ahoy! This film doesn't really waste any time getting to the good stuff, which, in a zombie film, basically means it's not long before all our actors are running about shooting shambling corpses in the head and arguing with each other. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "But wait, there's been about a million of these zombie films out lately, and I'm sick of them." Well, you'd be right, I'm pretty sick of them too, but this one has Ken Foree in it? Remember him? He's the guy who said "When hell is full, the dead will walk the Earth." He says something really similar here, but changed enough so that the film makers don't get sued by George Romero. Ken's a big shot cop on one last gig, helping a rookie cop shift some mysterious guy to some prison somewhere, but on the way they get caught up in all this zombie carry on. The prisoner knows something or other about the zombies, plus there's this other guy who lived in a nunnery who was born to destroy the zombies, so it begins to play out kind of like Assault on Precinct 13 at some point too. You've got to hedge your bets when making a generic zombie film! Throw in some annoying teens and an old guy, and you're all set to go!Look, if you buy this film, you're buying a film called Apocalypse of the Dead. It ain't high art. It ain't a 'game changer', as every movie critic in the world would say. It's an Eastern European zombie film with Ken Foree in it. It wasn't boring and had plenty of the red stuff. It entertained the wife, who very rarely even gets the motivation to sit down with me to watch these things, so that must say something right there.

I'm home alone, out of things to do. Movie as a great way to pass time. Seeing I'm very limited on option, I've decided to NOT watch the movie and twiddle my thumb than torture myself with this piece of abomination.I can understand low budget, could determine the popularity of the movie. But I've watched quite a few VERY low budget movies, and I've actually bear to watch to the end, enjoyed it even. But this movie is so bad, it's so terribad that I couldn't find a hip enough term to describe how horrible this is.The acting. Honestly, are the actors not chosen before filming? It's as if they were just picked off off the streets and brought them into casting. Their facial expression is totally wrong, out of place, their body language is absolutely...Well, the actors are "derping" almost through out the entire film. Yes, you do need professional training to be some great quality actors/actress. But you do not need such to be good enough to impress, for example*****Minor Spoiler****: the stance on holding a firearm. The protagonist is a 20year CIA agent, yet he does not know how to hold a pistol and flashlight together.The camera. It shakes so very often on purpose it literally gave me a headache. I do not know what it is trying to achieve by filming the movie on a roller coaster, heck! To exaggerate, even filming on roller coaster is better than this.The dialog. It is just so horrible that I mentally wanted to rip my hair off. I believe the cast are well over age of 25, yet their dialog sounded more dull, stupid, untrained than a 13years old.All in all, I know the definition of like and dislike is pure personal opinion. And I myself can accept a large varieties of opinions quite well. But honest to God, I could not comprehend how any sane human being can rate this movie past 4 stars; And 4 stars is a very generous score for this abomination.Save yourself some time, some bandwidth, some money, some pain. Just go search for a better zombie title.

There are so many other problems with this film. While making a zombie film shouldn't demand a huge budget, this film demonstrates that you need mostly a BRAIN rather than budget. Even the cheapest and silliest spaghetti-zombie is more interesting and entertaining... and they have been done 20 years ago. Even the shaky videocam Blair Witch is deeper than this flick. Here a new list of problems:1. Character roles: stereotyped and oh so boring.2. Acting: embarrassing.3. Script and dialogues: terrible.4. The plot: pointless and unoriginal.5: the horror: which part exactly is meant to be frightening?6: Photography and aesthetics: grey grey grey.7: Zombies: rabid outcasts led by a white masked pierrot8: Srating/ending titles: is it meant to be a sort of live action video game?9: Music: was there any?Better go see "VIRUS / Hell of the Living Dead" by Bruno Mattei.
