Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

GL84 Following a viral outbreak, life for a group of people in a small town grows even more complicated when they must deal with their troubled lives and the effects of the zombie outbreak that is overtaking the other residents.This is a slightly troubling but still overall enjoyable zombie effort. The biggest mark for this one is the simple fact that the zombies are once again treated as though they're a threat that should be taken seriously despite the constantly joking material and situations throughout. They attack at random and definitely leave an impression whenever they're around, hauling people to the ground and attacking them mercilessly, ganging up behind them in groups or slowly turning on someone unexpectedly when it's portraying them to be heroic in the situation before being swarmed by the zombies. That certainly helps them to still be taken seriously as well as the constant gore surrounding their appearances and the increasingly difficult manner it takes to finally get rid of them as well providing some chilling scenes at times even though there's some light-hearted tones spread throughout. That, though, is the biggest problem with the film is that it is too goofy and light for what it really wants to be, and that leads to a really dangerous clash throughout this. By focusing on the nationality of the female lead and making race such a big issue here, often-times erroneously simply for the sake of the comedy, there's not a lot of truly appealing jokes that work here despite the tone supporting the usage of such material and it contradicts the more serious and threatening zombie issue throughout. On top of that, the majority of the jokes are just flat-out stupid and lame and aren't in the slightest bit funny, leaving a large section of this at the end to be treated as some sort of monumentally-hilarious episode or joke that goes nowhere and has nothing to do with the movie at hand other than offering it's thinly-veiled political intrigue when that's the last thing it needs at the moment. These all knock the film down somewhat but otherwise this is pretty entertaining.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, racial innuendo and drug use.

bowmanblue I suppose this film's major 'plus point' is that it has tried to call itself some variation of '.... of the Dead.' The title 'ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction,' refers to the loosely-alluded premise that this particular zombie outbreak is some form of terrorist attack. But then who cares how zombie outbreak start? We just want to know one thing: what's the gore like? And, in ZMD's case, it's actually not too bad. Yes, it's a B-movie, but then 90% of zombie films are, therefore you're probably not expecting a 'mega-budget' epic of a movie. So, this does manage to deliver – it's pretty horrific and what little budget they have is used well on some nice/gruesome zombie and victim kills.ZMD also has another unusually plus point for a B-movie – the central characters are actually pretty different (remember, we're talking horror B-movies here). We have a girl of Middle Eastern descent and a gay couple. And this worked. Their originality made them quite likable and easy to root for.But it's not all good. What starts out pretty excellent sort of stalls midway through the film. Even though the main characters are good, those who they meet aren't. It's like the writers wrote the characters into situations which separated from the main threat element, i.e. the zombies, so they had to introduce all sorts of nut-job characters to pose a new threat.Plus the film isn't that original. It seems to borrow elements from at least five different zombie films. I counted the basement lock-in from Night of the Living Dead, the boarding-up-the-church from Return of the Living Dead, the situations of Shaun of the Dead and the tone of Braindead.It's a pity the overall story isn't a little more focus. I was really enjoying the first act, only to find myself getting a bit bored during the second half. Overall, the end kind of drags the whole thing down. What could have been an excellent little B-movie ends up being only just about watchable because the story meanders about the place of its own make. Pity. Still worth a quick watch if you liked Peter Jackson's Braindead and you're a fan of gore.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

stianchrister This is your typical zombie film, but compared to a lot of other zombie films, I would have to say that this one really stands out from the hordes (pun intended). The basic premise of the story is something like this: A woman running for mayor, a homosexual couple trying to come out of the closet, a father and daughter from Iran (not Iraq) come together with a band of religious folk during a zombie outbreak. There's a lot of room for hilarity, and a lot of room to send a message in this basic premise. Of course, it never really gets there, but it does play with the possibilities. In many ways, the film kind of leaves me with blue balls, because I really felt upon watching it, that this could be awesome. It could've turned out to be extremely funny, and a zombie classic to stand right up there alongside Shaun of the Dead. Sadly, that is not the case, as the film simply doesn't go as far as it could've gone. One of the biggest pluses is that the characters are extremely well-written, and come across as pretty nice people. In fact, one of the biggest pitfalls of B-movies is that the characters don't seem like real people, but rather machines to be put out for torture. These characters actually seem like people, and that's a massive plus.In terms of the cinematography, this film looks pretty good. If you're expecting 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead remake-like blood, guts and gore, you'll be disappointed. There are some special effects, but there aren't a ton of them. I don't think they had the budget to make the special effects a huge thing, but I certainly do think that with the budget they had, this film looks pretty damn sweet. Good cinematography, good editing - overall pretty well done technically.All in all, it's a film with great potential that doesn't quite live up to its potential. The story could've used some tightening up, and if they really tightened up the script and got a stronger theme out of it, this film could've been a low budget classic.

Ax-London Rubbish, boring, unfunny... go somewhere else to find a zombie flick Nothing new in this film..literally nothing, I didn't know if it was meant to be a comedy as there were so few gags in the whole film (I'm being over generous there!), the zombie effects were fine but we've seen so much zombie action we need a new take on it.. as I said nothing new here Spoiler Bit There's no chance of spoiling this film as it manages all on it own, but just in case... what was the last scene about.. the speech bit by the new mayor, did we have to listen to that boring speech just in order to see the 'oh so hilarious' kids pictures, 'I miss my dad' with blood spurting out..repeated with arm missing ha ha. 'I hate Arabs' is that funny? Or did we have to listen to the speech so that we get the twist ending that there is no twist ending and the last laugh is on the film makers who got to make us watch this tripe... very poor, can wait, preferably a lifetime, for the sequel
