Zombies from Sector 9

This film was such a blast, it goes from 0 - 100 in a matter of a few shots and it doesn't press the breaks at any point. Bookwalker (the lead character) should really get a chance to be in a sequel and also comics. He is such an interesting character, with depth, humour, misery. The actor that played him really did a great job and I believe with a bigger budget and a more thought out story that spans a few sequels, there really is a great character to explore. I know this sounds crazy as it's a fairly low budget effort, but underneath all of that, and all the violence and cheesy lines (which I love!) there is a lot to explore, it's not really in your face during the film, but it's clearly there. I believe the people that made this should really come back and explore Bookwalker's later adventures, maybe a few years down the line during the events of this film. All in all, there is so much in this film, and if you are a fan of b-movie madness, give this a shot!

I love his movies because there not done with computer effects, but everything is made as in the good old times with horror movies. ZOMBIES FROM SECTOR 9, I really enjoyed it, I can't even remember the last time I saw a movie with such a creativity and creepy, gore, slasher atmosphere in. CHECK IT OUT!

I really enjoyed this film, the story was creative and I had fun watching it. This independent feature had some decent practical effects but it also had great attention to detail. For a low budget feature it ranks with me pretty high on my scale. Go into this movie with the intention of having fun and you will enjoy this feature.

This really is a labour of love made by enthousiasts on a shoestring budget. Yes, it has its flaws but if you can't look past those, this isn't for you. The creators didn't set out to make the next Citizen Kane but a tribute to old gore and zombieflicks using neat old school effects, creativity and a good sense of humour. If you're into Ozone: attack of the redneck mutants and stuff like that, have a taste.

Low-budget doesn't mean low-effort, and Zombies from Sector 9 is living-dead proof of that. Directed by Rob Ceus, this Belgian indie splatterfest leans fully into its grindhouse aesthetic, delivering buckets of gore, zombie mayhem, and a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek charm and humour... and a random alien. It doesn't try to reinvent the genre, it CELEBRATES it. This is a pure love letter to old-school splatter films from beginning to end.

The practical effects are a outstanding, with some incredibly crafted makeup effects and gross-out gore that a throwback to the glory days of the VHS classics. After a slightly slow introduction, the pacing never lags and each scene just gets more intense and insane, and underneath all of that, the story somehow has a surprising amount of heart. There's one standout scene I did not expect to happen at all, but I won't spoil it here. While the acting is knowingly campy, that only adds to the film's raw, punk-horror appeal. There are so many one-liners that just adds to the 80s vibes and perfection. Bookwalker makes for a fantastic action hero. You can feel the passion of the director Rob Ceus and the rest of the cast throughout. You can clearly see they had a lot of fun making this film! It's also clearly inspired by films like Street Trash, and early Peter Jackson-especially a certain chainsaw scene that channels Dead Alive/Braindead, AND Bookwalker wears a Bad Taste T-shirt throughout the film. Horror buffs will also enjoy spotting the many horror director references sprinkled throughout.

The outstanding soundtrack by Console Clone deserves its own spotlight. Ranging from dark and gritty to upbeat and melancholic, the synth-driven score blends 80s horror vibes with a Carpenter-esque pulse that fits the film perfectly. It enhances the chaos while grounding it in pure genre love.

There are tons of laughs to be had, especially with repeat viewings, beers, friends, and pizza. A sequel would be amazing-but honestly, this stands tall on its own. I'm glad I finally watched it after hearing about it for a while, and it absolutely did not disappoint.

This one's a no-brainer (pun intended!) for any old-school horror fan, especially lovers of the splatter genre.
