Zombie Apocalypse: Redemption

Every time I begrudgingly click on a post 1980's zombie picture I somehow convince myself before hand that it will not use the same stupid traits that every other modern zombie film/show uses. Maybe all zombie fans like these traits? I will get to those in a second, first lets look at the general qualities of the film. The acting? Bad. The bad guys act like COBRA from GI Joe and the good guys just as forcefully silly. Bad acting can harm a compelling story, luckily this film doesn't have one. There are times the acting is so hammy you would think you were watching The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The setting is that of a post apocalyptic world taken over by zombies, complete with mad max style outfits. Combined with the acting this only pushes the ridiculousness of the film. The story doesn't really ever present itself or draw you in. If you were to ask me what the story is 30 minutes into the film I would say some guy is captured or rescued by a group of survivors, and there are a bunch of mad Max guys led by a guy who growls everything he says who wants him dead for some reason. Camera work and quality is not bad but nothing terribly attractive or innovative about it. So lets go on with the traits I mentioned earlier, you may call this knit picking but these things get to you when you see it time and time again like I have. Number one and the biggest issue is the screeching zombies. I absolutely hate that. I hate it when zombies make animal growls or screeches because it is really just unpleasant to hear. Why is it that every modern zombie film has to do this? Second is that although every ones clothes are made to look dirty or tattered, the actors and actresses themselves look like they have always just gotten out of a fresh shower and new haircut. Finally is that the zombies themselves just are not presented as a danger in this film. In about any modern zombie film the zombies are just background noise, hardly seen and certainly no threat to the main characters of the film. I only saw about 2 zombies the first 40 minutes of the film. Overall weak quality. It felt like a zombie fan fiction more than a actual film. 2/10 is the best I can offer. It didn't try anything new and was of all around bad quality.

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.

I wouldn't put this film in the league of Troma as I'm not sure if its to be taken serious or not, but I did get some enjoyment from what I'll call a C-horror movie. There are subtle (and not so subtle) references to Snake Plisken, Star Wars, From Dusk til Dawn, and other low budget zombie movies throughout ZA:R that I found entertaining. That being said, the acting was pretty awful from the lead female character, and the villain, Rome. Though, I suspect with Rome it was intended to be bad. I can't find any excuses for the lead female, however. She just seemed out of her element here. The fight scenes were playful instead of violent, almost comical if you don't take them too seriously. If you have a few hours to kill and you really enjoy low budget films, you may find this one entertaining. However, if you're looking for high quality then look elsewhere because you won't find any appreciation for this one. I can't say that it was all bad though. I got some laughs from it, and even enjoyed it from time to time.

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............

"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")
