I know I have seen worse movies, I just can't remember when. This doesn't even rate a B rating. F for Marian Tomas Griffin for saying she has been with animals and the last one was a horse. What a puke a real whore wouldn't even say that in a dialog. I should have known the movie was a piece of pooh when the zombie dick is dropped. Warn everyone about staying away from this crap. Okay, I can't post unless I have ten lines but saying more about this is pathetic. Therefore I shall say the movie would have been better if a real writer or one with credentials had at least reviewed the script and then tossed it in the garbage. This movie will certainly make money, but no way will it be in anything but the red zone.
a couple return from their overnight romantic mountain getaway to discover the world overrun by zombies. they are rescued and find themselves holed up on a mountaintop army base (supposedly a deserted NORAD base but it looks suspiciously like a cell phone tower) among a diverse group of predictably argumentative survivors, including a religious nut, an over the top macho farmer, a car salesman, a marine and a porn star & her daughter. suddenly, the virgin girlfriend is pregnant. what might aliens and the mysterious comet have to with all of this? and wow, what's in herbert's pants? also, see if you can spot the not-so-subtle homage to "day of the dead". for a low-budget effort, it held my interest - it has a few good moments and the acting is mostly decent.
This is another low budget piece of crap zombie movie from Lionsgate.
A few people hold up in an abandoned military installation after a comet hits the Earth and causes most humans to turn into zombies.There is some talk of reproduction and some poking around in the crotches of the zombies and a bunch of other silly stuff.I guess the genital exams was an attempt to try and do something different in a zombie movie.The DVD box boasts "2 billion zombies" but we end up seeing only about 2 dozen poorly made up zombies in this puke pile of a movie.
The plot doesn't make sense .The gore is phony looking and pretty mild.One set of very small breasts are shown and that's about the most interesting thing this sorry mess of a movie had to offer.
It's to the point once you see those big metal gears turning when the Lionsgate logo starts that you might as well hit the eject button and get the DVD out cause you know it's gonna blow.

this is probably one of the worst if not THE worst I've seen out of all zombie movies. Starting, well, more or less decently, it evolves into some kind of unpredictable nonsense - the twists of the plot, involving aliens inhabiting the bodies of humans and turning them into flesh eating zombies and then trying to mix up their DNA to produce offspring of some freaky nature, I mean c'mon, was the scriptwriter on some kind of mix of alcohol and hallucinogens? The acting was absurd: actors look like talking wooden dolls with merely a shadow of what was supposed to be an emotion, like fear, anger, hatred, the dialogs are shallow, there is no reaction (or the reaction is so fake that basically makes me wonder whether they are real actors or just afraid of the camera) to what the partner is talking, I mean take for instance that woman, movie maker and a really really "wonderful" mother, who by discussing with how many men she has slept is showing an example to her daughter - that was one of the stupidest things I've seen. The crew gathered in the bunker of some kind is really colorful (including a god-fearing weirdo, a gay, a semi-couple or a couple to be, a pair of car sellers, one of them really likes tight clothing (especially loved his pink t-shirt with "hugs not drugs", a silent "hero", who's only tough when he has his gun, an ex-servicewoman, and lets don't forget poor Herbert locked in the basement) yet everyone seems to be careful about remembering the lines instead of trying to act. I think I could go on about this movie forever...If you are considering seeing it, you must either really have nothing nothing at all to see or are on a mission to see every possible zombie movie made, otherwise don't waste time, anything on the TV is way better than this, if not, go for a walk, read a decent book or find some other ways to entertain yourself. Honestly, my advice is not to even start watching - if there were a rating in a minus scale I'd probably have given it a minus 7 or so.
There are some fresh ideas here, which weren't that bad. Unfortunately the bland characters and the actors portraying them never really reach the same heights the ideas here may have deserved. I still thought it was worthwhile, it has some decent effects and although there are quite some inconsistencies and rather "illogical" behavior, you have moments where you just can't help liking the characters (especially when they have to put on a shirt with a "message" on them! (you'll know what I mean, if you watch the movie)
It's not too gory or too scary though and hints of social criticism never survive (no pun intended) the first ten minutes of the film. Still you could do worse and if you need a movie to have fun with and especially a laugh with, you can watch this with your buddies (as another reviewer also stated) ... first and foremost: Take this movie as intended ... not seriously!
