Zombie Apocalypse

Whether or not it was intended to be a comedy, this film was a riot. All the best clichés were there including the line that all British panto lovers will know - there're behind you. The thing that makes this a hoot though, is that it is played straight - everyone is just so serious; but first, a bit about the plot.

The special edition DVD comes with a comic booklet explaining the origins of the zombie virus and the film picks up when the zombies are inadvertently let loose. The film revolves around a group of people who have to battle the zombies in order to survive but also a corporate or government plot to kill a rogue agent who mumbles and murmurs like a Bruce Willis wannabe with a sore throat. The action clichés are equally unimpressive.

You have to wonder how fit people are caught by shuffling zombies and watch carefully as just about every cliché is incorporated here; and don't get me started on the martial arts fighting. Still, it is great fun and worth watching for a laugh.

"Zombie Apocalypse" is indeed a very bad low budget movie. I saw the IMDb User Rating before buying this DVD and I decided to risk due to low price, since sometimes low budgets trash movies are very interesting. It is only to recall the early Peter Jackson's films in New Zealand. However, this amateurish "Zombie Apocalypse" is awful: the messy storyline and screenplay make no sense, the ham actors and actresses, the locations, the make-up, the tomato juice as blood, nothing works in this Z-movie. There is a histrionic guy that performs the security in the bar that is laughable. And maybe the worst, the conclusion is a cliffhanger for a sequel. Unbelievable! My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "Apocalipse Zumbi" ("Zombie Apocalypse")

I can handle my fair share of "cheese", but this one just sucks on any meter. Terrible acting, terrible script and horrible directing make Zombie Apocalypse one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I really had a problem sitting through this mess of a movie. The zombies were not even scary. I was even rooting for the zombies. I was hoping they would kill everyone else off before the first 15 minutes and the movie would just end. It really seemed like a gang of friends with some camcorders just went to some abandoned buildings out in the woods and just did a weekend take. I rented this at my local video store. It was on the new release section next to Zombieland. I am going to give them a hard time for having this on the new release section.

Seems what a lot of the reviews say here are spot on. Well for two pounds 💷 you get what you pay for innit. Wasn't really a good zombie film 📼 I didn't think so, but it passed away an hour and a half. So OK I suppose you win some you loose some. Not what I call a biffin good movie 🎦. So never mind I have Dario Argento tonight Inferno should be good 📼 watching, jacey out review over.

Was just awful. The blood looked like tomato juice and the acting was god awful. Who ever made this was a moron. If you want a good film watch Quarantine 2 or REC. After the first few minutes I turned it off. I rented this film from family Video thinking "Sounds Good". I was horribly wrong. Seriously this film had to be a joke because it sucked so bad. I bet a bunch of monkeys could come up with a better zombie film. The worst part is they are coming out with a sequel to this piece of trash. Now time for some random stuff because I can't think of anything else. I bet REC Genesis will be better. When will the directors learn?
