Virus of the Dead

I would consider myself a connoisseur of indie films, horror in particular. But this "film" is a disaster on all counts. The production values are non existent & the "acting" was painful to say the least, also the zombie make up looked like it was bought at a Halloween store. I usually dig anthology movies but this one seems to go out of its way to somehow be worse than mediocre, even that's an insult to mediocrity. I know people use "Found footage" as a way to cover not having a budget to tell a good story. But honestly with this film they need'nt have bothered

A stream of consciousness featuring various people with various recording devices of various quality, recording (intentionally or not) their experiences with zombies in the early stages of an outbreak Virus of The Dead is produced on a micro-budget or possibly as a project collecting many different fans' entries and compiling them into one feature. There are some interesting ideas here including two different recently bitten people describing how it feels to turn, a teacher droning on and on about his theory about the virus, two buddies trying to make a movie using actual zombies. At the same time, there are also plenty of ho-hum entries. It all feels a lot like running a random sequence of YouTube zombie fan-made scenes.

This was something definately new to the oversaturated zombie film genre, the way the stories un-fold make this a great intense watch, you feel like you are watching a video log live online as it happens, 10 of of 10 just bought the DVD of this today.

The rating was 8.5, now it's a 5,4...SO WHO KNOWS !!!

Effects are stupid, acting is stupid, story is stupid, guess the only fans are the people who made it.
