Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
reaver80808-552-7999 Once in a while a movie comes along, that is SOOO bad it's ends up being classic. The sort of movie where you get some friends, some beer and some pizza and throw your empty cans at the TV, while having a great time laughing at the movie mistakes and hammy acting....This is NOT one of those movies. This is the kind of movie that just makes you want to punch the talentless morons who made it. After all they did steal many minutes from your life. I think a smack to their chops is only fair?The "special" effects are non existent, the setting is awful, the story awful, the characters shocking, the acting.....what acting? My 9 year old niece and nephew have put on better plays in my front room! the props and costumes are a total joke and not a funny one. How hard is it to find replica guns that actually look like guns (the props in the movie are either Star Wars toys or scaled down toy rifles! I'm not entirely sure what the $20k budget was spent on, because it sure wasn't props or make-up. (possibly hair products for the soldier??? with back length goth hair!)I think the "film makers", knowing they had no talent at all, tried instead to go the cheap and cheerful 'funny' route. Sadly they didn't try hard enough. Instead they have made a nut-filled turd mockery of movies.Hopefully they won't get their hands on $20k ever again. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!If you want a bad movie that will make you laugh, check out "the room" epic in it's awfulness.
popeurbanv From the low quality camera work, hammy acting, ridiculous props, awful script, ludicrously bad effects, and stupid plot, you might think, "Man, this is a terrible movie." But no, what makes this movie so bad is much, much more than this. What really makes this movie so unbearable is the fact the film makers know that they suck, and revel in it. They make a mockery of the war movie genre, the zombie genre (both of which I am a huge fan of), and a mockery of amateur film makers. The only bright spots of the movie are the end, and some of the lines in the script that actually show the makers put some effort into writing the movie. However, even these well-written parts are lost on the actors, and in the end get delivered with the same derisive, poorly-timed, poorly-emoted effort as the rest of the film. All in all, a thoroughly terrible movie.
MattJaa This movie is just about unwatchable! The acting is bad, the script is very bad, the effects are terrible. I could only get through half of it then I scanned through the rest and, sure enough, it didn't get any better. I'm a big horror fan, especially zombies, and I'm not particularly picky about what I watch in the genre. I felt that all of them had something fun, funny, scary or at least cool to offer...until I got to this movie. I thought it was funny and kind of campy at first, with how bad it was but its 'charm' quickly wore off and I was left with just great boredom. I don't like to leave off without saying something good though...nice scenery at least.
harisc-1 OK, I love zombie movies. I also don't understand how "movies" like this get their space on IMDb. I am sure i can have my family Christmas movies rated here as well (they are MUCH MORE entertaining than this). Honestly, I saw the first 10 minutes of this movie and it was a torture. OK, about the acting - DUH - at least pretend that you're faking some emotion when you see a guy dying. I would give that soldier an Oscar. Seriously. Why? Just because. It's a crazy world, anyway, so what the hell...I've never seen anything worse in history of movies, maybe that's why...Then the FX. After effects, quickly generated effects that don't even follow the camera movement properly. Lol...Guns are plastic toys shooting laser beams that are not even close to 197? Dr. Who's. And the, the MUSIC! I can't even describe that annoying, almost funny, trumpet-like sound that plays while they are marching through the zombie-infected forest. It is so '40's and it fits in there just like the funny bluegrass tune fits into the original '2nd house on the left'. (that is the only comparison, though - '2nd house on the left' was a good movie). I don't know what else to say. I am sorry that I wasted 4 minutes of my life writing this review.
