Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Izzy Adkins The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
mrush Yes this movie is plodding and boring and never really goes any where.It does however manage to rip off about all of Romero's zombie movies instead of just one like most terribly made zombie movies do.A group of people end up hiding out in a warehouse after some sort of experimental material is released that turns people in brain dead zombies who ,of course, have to eat lots of meat to keep up their metabolism.This will sort of remind you of both "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead".They even mention the plot to "Night of the Living Dead " at one point! The leader of the group turns out to be some government courier agent who was escorting some weird albino chick who is somehow involved in all of this.He is,of course, a black guy.Meanwhile in a subplot a group of scientists and military men are holed up in another compound conducting experiments on the zombies like in "Day of the Dead".One of the zombies is especially mean and nasty and this sort of echoes "Land of the Dead".This movie even manages to rip off the remake of "Dawn of the Dead" as the group fights their way from the warehouse to a van.Anyway this movie isn't nearly good enough for you to care too much about the plot.It's basically one big rip-off.The acting is terrible,there is no character development and the zombies are few and far in between.Since when has zombie movies turned into movies that show few zombies but lots of scenes where people are just TALKING about zombies? Sheesh! Special effects are pretty mundane....little black holes appear in the zombie foreheads when they are shot and we have a few shots of what are supposed to be guts being pulled but all in all the gore factor is lame.Much of the movie is just these people standing around in this warehouse listening to zombies bang around on the walls outside.Skip this low budget snoozer and rent something by Romero instead if you're hankering for zombies.This is just another poorly done lame zombie movie made by people who have about as much talent for movie making as Miley Cyrus does for singing.
GutterJim Day X starts off fast with a single individual becoming enraged and killing a coworker without any explanation as to why. Soon afterwords a group of people in a parking garage become infected and attack our main character Frank Chambers. These attackers have not died and come back to life but it is explained later that an airborne virus scrambles the brain and affects the blood making those infected with it hunger for the flesh of the living.The locations used in Day X are very cool. You'll see a lot of run down industrial warehouse interiors and exteriors, and only a few lush garden like settings. I'm guessing they didn't have to build a set for this film at all. There are some locations used that could have been explored more but that may have taken away from the fast paced storyline. I don't like to give away the whole movie in written format but the story doesn't drag at any point in the movie, it does however end rather abruptly. Maybe that was the filmmakers intent to get a sequel in the works. The make up effects are good, some of the infected have a very nasty gory look while others have a quick dirty chimney sweep look.The CG is not pretty but it's very lightly used and not on screen long. Sound effects are a little fake towards the beginning of Day X but later on with shot guns and other louder guns they sound effects are perfect. Some of the actors are re-dubbed, not due to language differences but most likely due to on set audio issues. The dialog feels a little forced from some of the actors while others simply had too much foul language written for their character. The camera work is really professional for an indie film. The making of feature shows some of the lengths the camera men went took to get some really cool shots. Over all I enjoyed watching this mix of horror with sci-fi. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoyed Dead and Deader, 28 Days/Weeks Later or Undead.
christie5349 I really did enjoy this film.. It was both enthralling, funny, and exhilarating. the combination of suspense, and comic relief was well balanced.. The make up and costumes were intense. The plot in reality makes you wonder what the GOVERNMENT really would do to its own with out any warning ... I love Frank Chambers and his control... I also found amusement with the young prodigy "antdote" I have been looking for this Movie to come out for over a year.... OMG... I can't wait until November.... Those of you who have not had the chance to see this "horror" I can only say it is the LIVING DEAD meets OUTBREAK.. Enough gore for the freaky side and scifi Xfiles rift for the scifi junky.. It does NOT drag on like some films. Enjoy
FuturePrimitive666 This is another one of those films that offers a view at what could possibly happen soon in the U.S. thanks either to foreign or internal terrorists. In any case, a lethal toxin is released in the air supply that causes brains to turn to jelly (And mine too wading through all of this!) and men into mindless animals bent on the desire for only one thing - to satisfy their insatiable hunger with any food source possible, including humans! Nevertheless, however similar these inhumans may be they are not zombies. The leading actor, Ken Edwards is about the only one who seems to know what acting is all about and is convincing as "Frank Chambers", a sort of C.I.A. meets F.E.M.A. type of guy. This film is not awful it's just sub-par for this genre, in my opinion. The story is not original and has been done so often recently and far better that I would recommend this only to those who feel they must see all of these types of films to actually prepare for a coming attack. Finally, on one odd note, I don't know for sure if she was Melissa Holmes, Paula Kavanaugh, Lyn Pierce or another actress, but she has an uncanny resemblance to Barbara Olson, the conservative commentator, author and lawyer who used to be often seen blinking and adding her $00.2 to many a "Larry King Live" show. As YOU may know, Mrs. Olson sadly died on the American Airline flight 77 that slammed into the Pentagon, so it couldn't be her, but with all of the conspiracy talks, etc. I certainly did a double take upon viewing this feisty actress in this film. So, as far as that goes, check this out to see what I mean and, if anything, let's "big up" Ken Edwards, so we can see him in a better, future role. FuturePrimitive666.
