Zombies: Global Attack

I was a financial backer of this movie from its Kickstarter project, however I didn't have any input into the movie or its development. So what I write here is my own opinion.

I just wanted to say that without any preconceived ideas or thoughts about this movie I didn't think this was too bad at all. For a small budget movie it certainly didn't show the usual tell tale signs.

Camera work was excellent, the CGI and special effects were above average for what you would expect of a B grade flick.

Knowing that Eve Mauro (Dusty) was in this flick I was expecting to be spending a lot of time admiring her. However I was more impressed with Danielle Chuchran's (Tomboy) performance... she has such a cute smile.

Give it a look, whilst you will probably think its not the best film you have ever seen, I'm pretty sure you wont think its the worst either.

I went to the bother of signing up just to review this 'cos i think it deserved more than the 4.5* it has.

Firstly this is definitely a B-movie so u have to go in expecting that. I usually don't like B-movies like you get on SyFy but i do like zombies movies so i thought i'd give this a chance, and i'm glad i did.

The premise is pretty simple... a group of soldiers looking for a militia base in zombie infested Afghanistan. Sure its silly but it works fine.

At first i thought the acting sucked but it wasn't long before i changed my mind, i'm not saying it's going to win an Oscar but it was a lot better than the crap SyFy puts out, i got the impression the actors had fun and weren't just phoning it in, and i found myself giving a crap about the characters. t's a pity that being a zombie movie so many people had to die because i would definitely have watched a sequel with the same cast.

There are some bad point sure, there are some major plot holes but i was kind of expecting that. I think the thing that bugged me most was the cgi, not the blood and gore cgi that was pretty good, but the helicopters that don't disturb the grass when they land and the cg muzzle flares rather than guns firing blanks. As most reviewers have pointed out the zombie makeup was pretty decent.

I don't know why people complain about the chick with the sword, the soldiers knew they were going to be going up against zombies and given that i think a sword is a perfectly reasonable weapon.

If you like B-movies or zombie movies definitely check it out, it kept my attention for the whole movie.

It was only a matter of time for the movies to start flowing in regarding the killing of Osama Bin Laden. This year showcased three different films, but only one stepped out of the world of the truth and into the world of zombies to deliver a fun take on this important moment in history, Ozombie. The trailers offered a peek into what could be a pretty fun film, but will it deliver or just be another goofy spoof?

Ozombie follows a group of NATO special-forces on a special assignment that alongside a yoga instructor in search of her conspiracy theory brother who believes Bin Laden is still alive despite being buried at sea. To their shock he has returned from his watery grave and is making an army of zombie terrorists. Now they must kill Bin Laden again and stop the zombie insurgence before it infects the rest of the world. This film pretty much delivers the silly nature you would expect, but not the quality. They had a perfect opportunity to deliver a fun take on this moment in history with plenty of action and zombie gore, but instead ended up delivering more of a Syfy original movie style film that is almost laughable in a bad way. Much like most of these sorts of films, the acting is pretty bad and there never seems to be a sense of urgency for the onslaught of zombies. There is a quick explanation to attempt to tie everything together, but never really fleshes it out. For the most part this is non-stop action, which would have still worked perfectly well had they spent a little more time on the action itself. Most of it worked OK, but when it's supposed to be a Special Forces unit, they need to look like they have a bit better skills than your average soldier.

For all this films flaws it's still pretty fun if you enjoy some good cheese. They used way too much CGI blood instead of practical effects, but still deliver a decent zombie body count pretty much non-stop throughout. If you're a fan of films from the Asylum or SyFy then you will most likely have a great time with this one as well. If you can step away ignoring the bad acting and lame effects, there is still a fun film here to enjoy.

This movie was something I accidentally stumbled upon and had high hopes but was truly disappointed. While I enjoy Zombie and gore movies as much as the other guy, I also appreciate some cinematic finesse thrown in. Unfortunately Osombie tries to survive on a single interesting idea with flat characters and an even flatter story.

The movie itself is quickly summarized, Osama Bin Laden supposedly "alive" as a Zombie, guy goes to kill him, his sister goes after him and meets some soldiers along the way in a zombie- infested Afghanistan. While this might be a lot of fun (think Dead Snow) it is not since the action is poorly dramatized, you never really feel that there is any real threat coming from the zombs. Also none of the characters offer any particularly likable traits why you would root for them.

Overall this movie was uninspired and while it had some nice CGIs and obviously some budget it really failed to create a story arc that would allow me to call this flick entertaining.

This film begins with an American SEAL team landing by helicopter on the rooftop of a building in Abbottabad, Pakistan in search of Osama bin Laden. Completely surprised by the sudden assault Osama desperately infects himself with a virus which eventually turns himself into a zombie. Having then shot and presumably killing him, the SEAL team put his body on the helicopter to take back to an aircraft carrier waiting for them in the Arabian Sea. However, on the way there the zombified body of Osama bin Laden awakens and in the resulting chaos his body is sent to the bottom of the sea. Not long afterward, "Osombie" (played by Walter A. Carmona) stumbles out of the sea and attacks two people on the beach. Recognizing the importance of this event the Taliban not only harbors Osombie but also begins creating even more zombies for use against American forces in Afghanistan. To counter that, a small group of special forces soldiers are sent in to find Osombie and in that regard to fight and kill all of those who stand in their way. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film started off with a ridiculous premise and pretty much remained that way all the way through. Quite surprisingly, there were actually some good action scenes to be found in this movie--but those depicting a female soldier named "Tomboy" (Danielle C. Ryan) wielding a samurai sword in battle certainly didn't help in that regard. In short, I honestly didn't expect much from this film and as a result I wasn't too disappointed.
