Apocalypse L.A.

The Plot:

After a meteor shower strikes Los Angeles, toxic smoke is released across the city causing people to physically change and become violent.

A small group of survivors plans to vacate the city by heading to the coast.

Isn't that always the way?

The REALLY good news regarding this movie is that it's not one of those first person cam films that are so played out. However, much, if not all of it is filmed with a shaky cam which I so hate.

The first quarter of the movie is well done. It's a good build to the disaster and the special effects are not cringe worthy, so it's cool.

The move to finding out about the "zombies" happens slowly leading to a build in tension. But then comes the first zombie attack and you start to think things are about to go south. Everyone is way too calm in the face of the flesh eater.

So roughly a third into the film your thinking this is going to start sucking. And you start realizing the acting isn't all that great.

And it isn't. Things rapidly go down hill.

Could have been a really good movie with some extra thought.

I have seen some bad movies in my time but oh my god, who wrote this sentimental drivel. Zombies everywhere or so you would think in a city of 3.8 million, a day after a zombie outbreak and you see a massive hoard of about 12 zombies on the streets. The characters kept stopping to tell each other they loved each other every 5 minutes on the empty streets walking everywhere in a city of ohh 3.8 million cars they could not find one car and keep it for longer than 1 minute. They ran around with no weapons except their love for each other. In a city full of ohh 3.8 million guns. Two of the lovely heroes attacked 3 zombies one with a 2 by 4 piece of wood and the other with a walkie talkie. Walking dead eat your heart out. There was helicopters everywhere in the sky but not one cop or soldier on the street. Just hooded zombies and two zombies in what looked like surgical gowns. They must have shared the wardrobe. I think it was the only movie i saw that i was hoping the whole cast would die. I think its because they deserved to die coz they were stupid. Nuff said.

DISASTER L.A. : THE LAST ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE BEGINS HERE is really stupid, but it is good.

When meteors strike Los Angeles, the massive destruction they cause is the least of the city's worries as it's inhabitants begin to fall deathly ill from the resulting smoke. But when the dead begin to reanimate and feed off the living, five friends make a run for the coast before they can be killed by the infected - or worse, by government forces who will fight to contain the situation at any cost - in any nightmarish no-holds barred thriller.

That is just the plot and this movie is just super stupid, but it is really good and just fantastic and was really amazing.

The direction of the movie is directed by Turner Clay, who also does the music, editing, cinematography and also executive produced this film. His direction is so incredibly scary that the dialogue he writes is just very scary and intense.

The music is over-creepy as hell and the music has a great memorable feel to it that makes you believe that this is going to be a zombie movie. The acting is dreadful in a few areas, but hell, the actors really tried. Justin Ray, Jerod Meagher, Stefanie Estes, Ron Hankks, Michael Taber, Dennis Leech and Morgan Jackson plays the characters in the film and some of them does seem to drag in a few areas.

The make-up for the zombies is really gory and scary, but this movie did not have a very large budget and that's what I like about some of these movies, is that with a few action movies, scary films, sci-fi, comedy, drama, musical or teen movies, that you don't need a very, big huge budget to make that kind of movie genre film that you wanted to do.

The editing is awkward in a few areas, but it works for this kind of zombie flick and it really does show a lot in this feature presentation. The visuals, set design, story and plot is really amazing as hell, a little cheesy in a few areas, but it really does show as well.

Overall, DISASTER L.A.: THE LAST ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE BEGINS HERE is just stupid, but also creepy and really good. My sister Shaliyah, who is a twin to the other sister, Aaliyah, says that this film is not stupid, but the other two movies involving zombies, ZOMBIELAND and WORLD WAR Z are stupid, but also really, really good.

I give it a 4.5. out of 10.

Well let me set it off. The zombie make up was not realistic, in fact it looked like one zombie had a bunch of wet paper towels on his face. Even if it's an independent film have the decency to throw money into it because this film was crap. I was not scared and there was not really any excitement. Half way threw the film we turned it off. I do not like zombie films to begin with and Disaster la definitely did not win me over. This is indeed a boring film. I had to slam a lot of wicked red drinks in order to place the disk in the tray but I did it. I wanted them all to die, the friend died in front of them for some reason but the other characters didn't seem to care. I found out that before renting the film that 1 guy does everything in the film. It was all for a waste sir.

This movie is kinda odd,it starts off like one of those "Meteor Movies " with a sci-fi things happening at first ,then shifts to action/horror.Like a good made for SyFi channel movie ,the acting is o.k. ,the story is basic enough to not get lost in ,the people that did it ,on such a low budget ,did it with decent camera work,lighting ,and sound...all o.k. ,with good production values.Not a whole lot of gore,it still has some sauce splashin around ,with the zombie action.Nothing fancy ,just what goes with this shoddy little survival story.A few lame moments were forgiven ,and it ended like i could tell it would.Basic ,by-the-numbers Sci-fi -action /zombie /meteor movie, with very little (if ANY ?) cursing ,or nudity.It might have got a 4 from me if it had a different something going for it...like say , Dead Shadows did ,that one rocked .....
