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.
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.
Story-wise, then "Zombie Undead" is as generic and textbook as it comes. A group of people become trapped in the hospital during a strange outbreak that causes the dead to come back to life (well, sort of) and with a ravenous hunger for living flesh.
Everything in the movie was straight out of the 'How to make a zombie movie for dummies' book, I will say that much. But still, it was done with a clear ambition and a clear motivation for the zombie genre, and that was what held the movie afloat.
Yes, there were flaws in the movie, obvious and bad flaws that should have been caught in the editing room. For starters, the woman being devoured in a hospital room blinked in one scene. And also in the lavatory scene, you could clearly see the camera man reflected in the metallic hand dryer apparatus on the wall. And also Michael, Jay's younger brother, well you saw his eyes fluttering underneath the closed eyelids, even when he was supposed to be dead.
But still, the movie was a well-meant attempt, and I think they pulled it off nice enough. Sure, this isn't the kind of movie that you will watch a second time around, as the movie just didn't have that much to offer. But for a low budget movie it wasn't too shabby.
There is a fair amount of blood and gore in the movie. Mind you, that the effects here were well-meant, but came off a bit questionable and not overly believable.
There are far worse low budget zombie movies out on the market. And "Zombie Undead" is worthy enough of a watching late at night if you are having a zombie marathon and is starting to run out of major Hollywood produced zombie movies.
