Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good idea lost in the noise

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is a made for TV SyFy Asylum horror. It is perhaps best described as a zombie animal tribute film to "Jurassic Park." Eden is the name of a zoo for endangered species rehab animals. It is head up by Dr. Ellen Rogers (Kim Nielsen) who as a single mom has her daughter (La La Nestor) with her at work. She got her doctorate in "captive breeding theory." Dr. Ellen Rogers was the name of the vet in "Animal Face-off." In one scene she asks her daughter why she was making her toy animals fight.An airborne viral outbreak that effect certain animal and not humans causes the animals to mutate and attack...and for some reason to get out of their cages too. Amber (Brianna Joy Chomer) an intern gave up her career in political science because "homeless people scare me and I'm allergic to babies" in order to work in a petting zoo. In one scene the doctor is on the phone and it appears she is talking to a police officer on a walkie-talkie.The film is for Asylum fans who don't take their movies seriously

Zoombies(2016) Starring: Ione Butler, Andrew Asper, Lala Nestor, Kim Nielsen, Marcus Anderson, Brianna Joy Chomer, Ivan Djurovic, Aaron Groben, Kaiwi Lyman, William McMichael, Reuben Uy, Isaac Anderson, Tammy Klein, Cedric Jonathan, Joe Conti, Noa Pharaoh, Jennifer Titus, and Michael Delgado Directed By: Glenn Miller Review UNCAGED, UNDEAD Hello kiddies your pal the crypt-critic just visited the asylum and let me tell you the movies there just keep getting worse. When a strange virus quickly spreads through a safari park and turns all the zoo animals undead, those left in the park must stop the creatures before they escape and zombify the whole city. This is your typical asylum movie with a silly situation, with crazy killer animals and awful acting and cg that looks like if I made it on a computer. I hate this kind of film I'm just giving it a half out of five. Shocker right.

When a strange virus quickly spreads through a safari park and turns all the zoo animals undead, those left in the park must stop the creatures before they escape and zombify the whole city.Yes, the CGI is beyond deplorable. Yes, it comes from The Asylum, who have almost never made a good movie. And yes, it blatantly rips off "Jurassic Park" (though at least it acknowledges this). And yet, somehow, it manages to succeed as a so bad it's good movie.Unlike garbage like "Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre", this film had a certain level of heart and humor. Few of the characters are likable, but it has an unpredictability to it that makes it fresh. And the way a child takes on a koala is... well, somewhat disturbing and yet hilarious.

There is a temptation to compare this to Sharknado in the whole 'so lame that it is cool' category of terrible movies. The problem is that while Sharknado utilises a stupid concept to make a movie that is pure trash but also pure awesome, Zoombies is mostly the trash part with very little awesome.There are clear comparisons to Jurassic World, but where that movie's shaky plot is made up for by big budget effects, cool set pieces and Chris Pratt, this movie has none of these, so it is just mostly rubbish.Sure there are some laughs at seeing actors pretend they are sitting on elephants and hanging from a rope (seriously how hard is it to actually shoot actors hanging from a rope - just put them on a rope a couple of feet above the ground), but overall it is far more cringe than amusement. Possibly good for a laugh if you are tired of all the other 'so lame it's cool' movies out there, but really this one is the pits.
