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.

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.

"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")

While this is a relatively low budget movie, they do great work! it portrays a great plot, it was just simply outstanding. Who was miller? I am still wondering to myself 8 years later. This movie often comes up in conversation at dinner with my family. Every night we sit and wonder what happened to miller.. is he dead, is he alive, I NEED TO KNOW.

The cinematics were great, especially with the scene where the two by four was used to conk the zombie in the head and guts splattered everywhere. Genius.

Directing was on point as well. Loved the "Lets Party" scene, got me excited for the rest of the film and the action that was going to occur. Was not disappointed with what followed to say the least. The acting as well as the dialogue was advanced in a sense to it made you think on a deeper level, " what if you were in their shoes"

The ending scene left me wanting more. This movie fulfilled my need and itch for a good scare and a good laugh.

Overall, a great film to watch with the family, the kids, or the boys.

Cant wait for the sequel!

This movie cropped up alongside all the new releases in the shop. I like zombie films so thought i'd give it a try. The cover art looked good but unfortunately bares no resemblance to the film.

The film is just awful from start to finish. no one can act and the zombies look like a 5 year old was hired to do the makeup. It may be low budget but that's not an excuse. If you have no money then you need to be clever with what you do have. Trying to make a zombie movie with no story, no actors and no effects just results in boring garbage.

The whole things feels like a you-tube homage to zombie films made by some kids in a garage.
