Zombie Undead

The film has potential, but the writing and dialogue is dreadful. The repetitive film title says everything you need to know about the writing: "Zombie Undead"? More like the writers were braindead and had baited you into wasting an hour+ of your life.

First, there's a lot of unnecessary scenes - probably just as time filler. Second, the acting is a bit over dramatic. Third, the addition of the military is both pointless and campy.

I understand that this is a low budget film - probably a film student's final project. And it gets and "E" for effort. But it really had a lot of potential if the filmmaker/writers just stuck to the heavily stylized shots and a more simplified plot.

This website won't allow me to rate this film zero out of ten, but zero is the score it deserves. Zero budget, zero talent and zero effort by everyone involved.

The zombies don't appear to have any kind of zombie make up at all, which gives you an idea of what the makers of this were thinking. Make something as quickly and cheaply as possible to con the public out of their hard earned cash.

Watching this film is like having excrement thrown in your face for an hour and a half.

No-one on screen has any acting ability - Do something else with your life.

In short, avoid this movie like the zombie plague.

After 45 minutes of "Zombie Undead" I fell asleep. Woke up 10 minutes later, renamed it "Directors family & friends in extremely bad make up" - and didn't bother to rewind, as the 10 minutes of sleep probably saved me from further agony. I just wanted it to be over and forgotten as soon as possible - just as the careers of anyone who had anything to do with this "film". Listening to paint dry is more entertaining than this, having my left arm ripped right out of the socket is less painful than watching this, watching snails crawl across a piece of cabbage is more exciting than this, a fart in outer space has more impact than this, a deaf hamster with one eye and a wooden leg can act better than this...etc. etc...you get the general idea? Just stay away...

according to the DVD case"Romero cant wait for this"so i can only assume that he hasn't yet seen it...lucky bugger.

the great mans work might not be up to par these days but he doesn't have to worry about the competition on offer here,he could have wrote and directed better with his milk bottle glasses off.

but don't go thinking this is the new"Birdemic",its not even that good,if this was to get a midnight movie release it would be to counter insomnia.

i cannot say anything good about it,low budget is no excuse for a mind-numbingly awful script and since anyone with a pound of butcher meat and a make up kit can produce a half-decent zombie,that is what was needed for this to have any chance of standing out.

In the vast sea of zombie flicks, there are gems that shine bright, showcasing creativity, suspense, and genuine horror. And then there are films like "Zombi Undead," a murky and forgettable addition to the genre that does little more than shuffle aimlessly through tired tropes and clichés.

From the very first frame, "Zombi Undead" fails to ignite any semblance of intrigue or excitement. The plot, if it can even be called that, is a convoluted mess of half-baked ideas and poorly executed scenes stitched together incoherently. It feels like the filmmakers threw every zombie-related concept into a blender without bothering to craft a coherent narrative.

The characters, or caricatures rather, are as lifeless as the zombies they're supposed to be fleeing from. With dialogue that ranges from cringe-inducing to downright laughable, it's hard to root for or even care about any of them. The lack of character development leaves the audience indifferent to their fates, which is a cardinal sin in any horror film.

One of the most egregious sins committed by "Zombi Undead" is its utter disregard for basic principles of filmmaking. Scenes are poorly lit, camera angles are haphazardly chosen, and the editing is so choppy it's disorienting. It's as if the filmmakers were actively trying to make their audience feel nauseous, both mentally and physically.

And let's not even get started on the special effects. Or lack thereof. The zombies look like they stumbled out of a thrift store Halloween bargain bin, with makeup so cheap and unconvincing that it's more likely to elicit giggles than screams. Even the blood and gore, staples of any good zombie film, are rendered with all the finesse of a child finger-painting.

In conclusion, "Zombi Undead" is a film best avoided by even the most ardent zombie aficionados. Its lack of originality, poor execution, and overall incompetence make it a painful experience from start to finish. Save yourself the agony and spend your time on something more deserving of your attention.
