Ozone

This is the weakest of JR Bookwalter's films because it strays from his style of fast, humorous action scenes. Bookwalter tries something more ambitious, moody and suspenseful and he fails. But its still typically watchable in its cheesiness. This is more drab looking and boring than his other films though. There are scenes where the black leading man is locked in cages, forced into a Mandingo fight and a zombie sniffs him and says, "You smell like a brother...". It might be a string of racist jokes or JR made a film thats a metaphor for smalltown racism. So Bookwalter tries to be artsier here and its appreciated, but he forgot to make it entertaining as he was NEVER scary or thoughtful director.

My mom and I were looking at 1990's horror movies, and I said this title as I was reading through, and my mom said, "wait, 'Ozone'? My dad worked on that movie!", and now I'm here.

He was the pyrotechnics guy, and he did some special affects makeup too! I haven't gotten around to seeing the movies he's worked on yet, but hopefully I will (even if they end up being bad😂).

It took me three days to watch this film because i had to stop it so many times i dont mean to insult the director or the actors but i dont think they even tried its a very bad film i wouldnt even waste your time

The picture on the back sold it to me dont be fooled its not good leave it alone go for a walk outside or take a nap its just not worth it

Ozone is the name of a new highly addictive street drug that is often fatal for bums and junkies.Detectives Eddie Boone and Mike Weitz are hot on the trail of drug lord Sam DeBartolo,who's behind the trafficking of Ozone.While running down a connection Weitz is attacked by zombies and disappears and Boone is injected with the drug.He slowly starts to mutate into zombie.I enjoyed "Ozone" due to its pretty high gore level.The main performance of James Black is quite solid and the digital effects are surprisingly effective.The pace of the film moves swiftly and there is plenty of gore on display.Considering the budget of "Ozone" I was impressed with this small indie production.I still haven't seen "The Dead Next Door",but I'd like to someday.7 out of 10.

While ambushing a drug-dealer, Detective Eddie Boone (James Black) is injected in a fight against the dealer with a new drug called Ozone, which transforms the users in powerful zombies. His partner and friend Mike Weitz (Tom Hoover) is kidnapped by a group of Ozone addicted. Eddie tries to find Mike in the streets, fighting against the zombies and having several hallucinations due to the effect drug in his blood. "Ozone" is a movie which must be analyzed in two aspects: the screenplay is great, having a very good story. However, the effects and locations are among the worsts I have seen, being sometimes (or most of the times) ridiculous, like, for example, when the head of a police officer is smashed by a car in an empty parking area. In the balance, the average is positive and fans of trash movie will not be disappointed with this film. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Ozone"
