Dead Genesis

after an original, but very gross opening sequence, wont spoil the movie but it made me watch the rest of it, the camera shake starts, if it was all supposed to be shot by the reporter it would be almost acceptable, (but any one who shakes that much would have big problems), the camera shakes even when the reporter is not filming which really does get annoying.

the story itself isn't to bad and the acting is above average with most of the key characters being very good, the zombie effects are good, the gore levels are not excessive, but wont disappoint.

this film would have scored higher, but for the camera shakes this would have made a 7 or 8, if you can put up with the camera shake (warning, it is very close to headache/vomit inducing), this isn't a bad zombie movie & is well worth a watch

A sadistic, immoral film that is utterly contemptible and repulsive. To say this is sick cinema without any redeeming elements at all is an understatement. The beginning sequence is one of the most morally offensive ever filmed. The consumption of a living child by a zombie, dining on the innocent's stomach while the child blinks his eyes uncomprehendingly, is the definition of torture porn and possibly the sickest sort of child pornography. The exploitation of a child and depiction of the worst child murder imaginable is beyond anything ever portrayed in a so-called legitimate film. Of all the disgusting, repulsive, and sick movies made, this one is about as depraved as possible. There is the freedom to express an artistic vision and then there is the graphic mutilation of a child for no other reason than to gratify the film maker's mentally deranged fantasy. There is no artistic justification for such savage exploitation. Those responsible for this production should seek the help they desperately need and never be allowed access to cameras again.

Wait, there wasn't an earthquake?

this is the shakiest film ever made, and to be avoided by anyone who doesn't want to be motion sick in the first 20 min (several times)

If the shaking doesn't get you, the terrible acting and effects may actually come close to destroying any love for the entire genre. I've heard that the UN is declaring this movie to be a crime against humanity.

This movie is about the only zombie movie I've seen that looks at what a zombie epidemic might be like for the survivors.

A lot of the criticism here is justified - no one in this movie was in any danger of winning an Oscar. The effects are ehh. The gore is ehh. There are a couple of scenes of children dying, including one being eviscerated by a zombie. And I can't imagine why they did whatever they did to the bartender's voice. This is not a movie that was made to be enjoyed with a bucket of popcorn.

But it's also one of the few movies that takes a look at what it might be like to survive in this world, and what it might do to your humanity. The Deadheads aren't good guys. They aren't heroes killing zombies in a video game. The leader sums it up in my personally favorite scene: "I fight to kill the pain inside. But you know what I'm starting to figure out? It still hurts when I wake up every morning."

Another rubbish no-budget zombie film that makes you wish that the genre had died a death for real. This one tries a slightly different approach to the genre than usual, which means we get some harmless and over-obvious philosophising and moralising along with the cheesy gore effects and repetitive zombie attacks. But whatever way you look at it, this is a mindless shot-in-the-woods outing no better than the equally poor NAZI ZOMBIES.

The slimline plot sees a would-be reporter infiltrating a group of zombie hunters who are camped out in the local woods. These guys call themselves Dead Heads, which I thought was a nickname for fans of the EVIL DEAD movies, which gives some inkling of the paucity of imagination on offer here. What follows is badly-scripted, with flat, boring characters every which way you look, and "direction" which consists of somebody shaking the camera about in a cinema verite style. Don't get me started on the amateur hour acting or other poor technical qualities; instead, skip this one entirely and try something else.
