I know that there are many ugly fat stupid people all over every country, but I do not want to watch and listen to these people in a movie. I am sure somewhere along the line, people thought they were bringing a touch of realism to this genre, but it is only realistic if sheer bad luck saw a bunch of absolute no hope reprobates thrown into this situation.
If I wanted to be exposed to this kind of human idiocy, I would watch reality TV or British Soap Operas.
This film has no redeeming features whatsoever. Not a single endearing character, not one funny moment or even the slightest bit of insight or commentary on people exposed to this kind of disaster.
I have used IMDb for some eight or more years now, and have never felt the need to share my opinion strongly enough to sign up and authenticate and account.
Please watch something else. Watch ANYTHING else!
EVERY single person out there owes it to the rest of humanity, to NOT encourage the people responsible for this movie to ever do anything like it again.
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.
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.
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.
