Zombie Apocalypse: Redemption

"Zombie Apocalypse: Redemption" is a forgettable not B-, but Z-Movie. The storyline does not exist, and the plot blends "Mad Max", "Snake Plissken" and "The Walking Dead" with the hot Angelique Sky and Alicia Clark wearing a few clothes. There are worst zombie movies released in the DVD market, but this one worth to take a peek if the viewer does not have nothing to do or pay for the rental. I bought this DVD attracted by the name of the veteran Fred Williamson. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "Dominação Zumbi" ("Zombie Domination")

You know, I never realise that a movie can be this bad. I rented this movie through ITunes together with the other "Zombie Apocalypse" titles (there were 3 of them) and I have to say that ALL OF THEM WERE SO AWFUL!

I hate to say bad things about anything unless it is really-really bad and unfortunately with all the 3 Zombie Apocalypse titles I rented, all of them were awful.

Sorry, I'm just being honest.

Story line doesn't make sense and soooo boring... Acting was just so bad especially the fighting scenes....oh man.... CGI effect was probably made by a 10-year-old?

I'm wandering if they ever re-watch the movie during the making?

I'm a die hard zombie movie fan but for the past few days my life has just been in total apocalypse by watching these series.

Oh man............

I'd give it zero stars if it had the option.it had coherent zombies that seemed to listen to the villain who might I add was trash....story felt like a 5 year old wrote it ....Big thumbs down for me.... The producer of this movie needs to stick to making low budget porn.... The worst character in the movie was a toss up between the main character and the villain... horrible film absolutely ridiculous and I don't think I'll be watching anything from this director of producer ever again... slap to the face of the zombie genre..... I mean how does the villain have the zombies under control? Unrealistic garbage.... Like I said it possibly thee single worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life.

Ryan Thompson's audaciously ambitious, low-budget, high-body-count, 'Zombie Horde' comes flying chaotically at you like a tumultuous typhoon of Rabid, Road-Warrior worshipping rapscallions, and the demonstrative lack of production value is leavened by the explosive excess of elephantine-balled, everything-and -the-kitchen-sink' celluloid chutzpah, and this dearth of originality is luridly compensated with a triumphant proliferation of deliriously cartoonish, brashly pilfered, trope-stealing perfidy! A hyperbolic, high-octane, deadhead-smashing, cheaply distilled cocktail; one part, Enzo G Castellari's barmy B-Movie 'Bronx Warrior', two parts, 'New Barbarians, this vainglorious, Z-Movie brew is shaken to bloody imperfection and served in a lukewarm skull, without an inch of irony! To wit, they even have a swarthy, eye-patch sportin' dude channelling an am-dram Snake Plissken, aye! That director Thompson is endowed with the largess of sack required to so wickedly purloin the likeness of our beloved Plissken is, quite frankly, awesome to behold, along with all the triumphantly plentiful, post-apocalyptic movie miasma, we then enjoy the legendary presence of original 'Vigilante' himself, the Grindhouse grand-master of disaster, Fred Williamson, on fearsome, douche bag-dissin' form as quick-quipping, 'Moses'; the moody, cigar-sucking, gun-blasting', Zombie-zapping patriarch of his rag-tag group of plucky, schlock-movie toe rags!

If Bruno Mattei's 'Rats Night of Terror' gave birth in a dystopian wasteland, nourishing itself solely on a misbegotten, terminally toxic diet of Troma movies, Linnea Quigley work out videos, and Mad Max masquerading, Italian B-Movie horror hysteria, this grossly mutated progeny, while undeniably butt-ugly, would kick more ass than a red hot Vindaloo enema! Thompson's, 'Zombie Horde' is an undeniably fun ride, but it 'ain't especially smart, but, for me at least, the film's unrepentant boorishness endows it with some additionally disgraceful, B-Movie audacity, so I couldn't help but fall in love with it hook line and stinker! Fair warning, like certain divisive pizza adornments, this overtly salty, lunk-headed, junk food treat might well be too odorously cheese-laden for more refined movie fans; if one's trash-benumbed palate craves the illicit, grindhouse-greasy, gory, gonzo-Gorgonzola savour of synthetic, wholly inorganic fare, dig in, and don't stand on ceremony, dude!!! As this is a hellaciously heroic, mascarpone-laden, zombie apocalypse with an entirely splendid, synth-swollen score, which like some sinuous succubus, wends its wickedly irresistible path, deep into your horror movie-soaked mind! Okay! Okay!!! I get it! I really do, we've been here a hundred times before, so there's nothing new under the dying celluloid sun these days, who cares????!!! Just as that original sin, we all keep on clamouring back hungrily for more of that splattery goodness!

Is this really a 7 star movie? Nah... probably not... It is certainly cheesy... but in terms of entertainment / fun value, I actually really enjoyed it...

IMDB says the budget for this was $56k??? I find that really hard to believe... I mean, it's got Fred Williamson... he's done a TON of movies and TV shows... If the budget really was $56k? This movie deserves like 10+ stars...

So... what to expect from this sort of Mad Max meets the zombie apocalypse? A whole bunch of cheesy lines and dialogue, but with some actual reasonable acting... Surprisingly decent special effects ( except for a couple CGI explosions, which could have used some help ) Some surprisingly good fight choreography & stunt work Pretty good camera work / lighting / audio A fast paced moving story with a moderate amount of suspense & plenty of action A fair amount of zombie gore as well as a pile of zombies and evil raider people ( another reason, why I'm floored at the low budget... they had a TON of extras in this movie... and quite a few with "o...k..." makeup... )

----------

One side note... The opening text was hilariously bad... looked like a 1980's computer font intro... and the soundtrack sounded like it was ripped off a 1990's action flick or something... hahaha...

----------

In any case... I don't believe this movie was meant to be a "serious" zombie flick... I actually thought this movie was a lot of fun to watch... sure, there are a lot better zombie flicks out there... but there are a TON of worse ones too... I'm sticking with 7 star...
