Good story but since when do zombies drive cars, in some of the scenes there is traffic in the back ground, now this is either an error or zombies can now drive.
Scenes where zombies masks are coming off, and poor special effects gives you some laughs not that I think thats intended.
Still the movie is watchable though, nothing unique to this genre, a poor mans 28 days later is how I would describe this movie.
I would guess this would be a direct to DVD release.
Hopefully this is a first attempt by the company who made this, PRO TIP don't film this type of movie during rush hour you generally imagine after most of the population of the earth is dead and people are fighting to get to a safe haven away from a zombie plague that others are not driving to work whilst this is taking place.

Not the best zombie movie but not the worst either. Considering it's an Asylum movie, you have to be a little more forgiving in terms of...well everything. Def their best movie to date though. They even managed to snag Ving Rhames for a lead role, which helped a lot. Once you get passed "made-for-tv" vibe, you may have a OK time with it. Worth checking out if you're a fan of the zombie genre...if it's for free...and if there isn't a much better zombie flick on. 2.5/5
One thing I must say is that Taryn Manning is one of the most annoying and terrible actresses around. Even with all the lousy effects and make-up, she is still the worst part of the movie.

I really liked the little different takes on zombies in this film, like the little air horn the dude throws out that the zombies are attracted too, the chick doing the shot and drop, shooting the furthest zombie, to attract the rest to escape, the pee buddy so they never are alone, or the zombies starting the fire, to lure the survivors in to an ambush, or the different zombies tags, like the shambles and the runners, little different takes on the zombie film, all the lots of little things it had in there I hadn't quite seen before.
But in-between the action, which is cool with mallets slamming down on heads, samurai like swords slicing people in halves, that chick looks cool the way she wields the sword, don't mess with her, loved watching it, we have the character moments, see the characters, their relationships, but you gotta love also ass frigging machine gun, wooah, loved the frigging machine bit dude! yeaaahhhh!!!
The cast, the girls looking sexy, the chick with samurai sword, what an athletic body, hot, and the little chick with the spiked up hair and bow and arrow, little pixie chick, she's hot ass, and the guys look like they can kick kick ass, especially ving rhames, when he comes charging in, like a monster ball of wrecking ball energy.
Looks pretty well shot too, obvious low budget, some visually stunning shots, it's cool to look at, things such as the city streets with buss laying idle across streets, or aircraft wreckage strewn across the ground as they sit in field working out their next move.
Yeah, I really liked it, for a zombie movie, interesting characters you could follow, good different kills, arrow, sword, mallet, pistols and machine gun lol
Cool little film that I reckon :)

I will admit that this is not the best zombie film ever made. However, it has enough good qualities to offset most of the faults. While the acting and special effects are clearly below average, this film does have a decent plot, good action and the director (Nick Lyon) manages to keep the tension throughout the movie. It also introduces some new elements to the zombie repertory by presenting both slow and fast zombies. The fast type being more recently infected. Another new element is that the zombies are slowly evolving by adopting basic tactics. Both of these new qualities actually make sense and enhances the zombie legacy for possible future use. I also liked the presence of Ving Rhames ("Henry") who always seems to add an intangible quality to these kind of films. Likewise, the inclusion of a few attractive females like Lesley-Ann Brandt ("Cassie"), Lylan Bowden ("Myrah") and Anya Monzikova ("Sara") certainly didn't hurt the movie in any way. In short, while this may not be a "great" zombie film it is probably good enough for most zombie enthusiasts to add to their collection.
Three small groups of survivors of a zombie plague join forces to reach the ferry boat to a sanctuary that they are not sure that it does exist in the Catalina Island. Along their journey, they are hunted down by hordes of zombies and only a few of them survive.
"Zombie Apocalypse" is a lame, predictable and corny low-budget TV movie by Syfy channel. The story is poorly written based on the above storyline, with zombies that can run. The characters prefer to walk under siege of dozen of zombies instead of driving a car in the United States of America. The moralist fate of Henry was absolutely predictable. The special effects are very simple and there are many sequence errors in the edition. My vote is three.
