Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
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.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
cyberdeck2000 A waste of film that should never have made it past the cutting room floor. Or even better, it should not have made it past the first person reading it.1. It's sad if there really are the number of evolutionary dead ends implied by these crappy films that really inhabit this country.2. No matter how inbred, ill-bred or just plain stupid; if a person was that badly injured, they would have been taken to a hospital, not a jail.3. I live in a town where the police have a large share of complete slime, but even here, the police can prioritize a dog being attacked and a multiple murder with an injured man on the ground.4. The zombie scenes are amateurish and (the worst insult for a scary movie) boring. 5. This review is after the first 33 minutes of this useless waste of ... pretty much anything I can think of.Do people making these films have any pride? How about self respect? Brain cells? I gave it a 2 because as bad as it is, I've seen worse. The glut of complete garbage actually boosted this film from the -1 it deserves.
slayrrr666 "Zombie Town" is an incredibly enjoyable low-budget zombie romp.**SPOILERS**Trying to keep their garage open, brothers Jake, (Adam Hose) and Denton, (Phil Burke) take any odd job to make extra money, and eventually run into old friend Alex, (Brynn Lukas) along the way. When they come across a series of dead bodies, no one else in town believes them until a massive accident blocks them in town, which infuriates Sheriff Brubaker, (Steve Nasuta) due to how it will affect the town. Realizing the deaths are caused by a ravenous parasite that turns it's hosts into flesh-eating zombies that in turn allow the parasites to fester within before eventually erupting out, and with the whole town completely overrun by the creatures, the few who aren't turned are forced to fight off the creatures before they're all turned into zombies.The Good News: This one had a lot of great moments that make it really enjoyable. One of the best features here is that the film has just a ton of outstanding action scenes that are all really enjoyable, ranging from the suspenseful to the action-based and even into the funny, all of which fit nicely into the themes present without feeling as though they're out-of-place and make the film fun. The opening camping journey, where the infected victim breaks into a camping lodge and attacks a group of hunters within is really good, mixing in a suspenseful premise with a good helping of gore in a great location for a fantastic kick-off, and the eventual rediscovery later on provides more action due to a protracted zombie battle that is really fun. Later on, when the invasion has begun and the zombies are out-and-about-town, this one really kicks into a good gear and provides a ton of big action scenes. The bingo hall encounter is hilarious, due to the nature of the attackers and the quips provided, and the action that comes into play is quite good. The street scenes are also as good, since the zombies are running wild attacking everything in sight and they're escape makes for some good stuff along the way where they shoot their way through or just run them over, and that's always a lot of fun. That it ends with the fantastic brawl amongst the auto-repair shop amidst a party of locals that have the zombies crash first before they come to the rescue is the best part, flowing nicely both in terms of story-advancement and the on-screen action itself, giving off even more bloodshed in a film packed with it up until then. The film's finale is just as good, leading up to it with the film's high-water-mark suspense scene in an ice-cream truck chase leading to the spot that is just oodles of fun, creepy and simply original all the way through, before getting to a huge action scene at the end with a massive swarming scene, a great brawl thrown in and a spectacular effects-based finish that is really good, if slightly-blown by the budget. These last two parts comprise the majority of the second half of the film, and these are what keep the film moving along at a fantastic pace so that this one never once bogs down into dreariness or boredom, which is always a plus in these films. This one also manages to have a superb suspense scene here with the police-station scene, where a huge swarm of parasites erupt from the body in a graphic, detailed scene and crawl around the entire station unseen until too late, forcing those that come into check it out into a fun little game of dodge leading up to the escape that is pretty creepy in execution. The zombies here are pretty good-looking, avoiding many clichéd traps and coming off as really serviceable if nowhere near the best of the genre. The last plus here is the films gore, which is quite plentiful. From exploding heads, body disintegrations, a whole host of flesh-ripping and some bites, this one manages to contain enough to satisfy gore-hounds quite nicely. These here are the film's good points.The Bad News: This one had a few problems with it that really hurt it. Perhaps the biggest is the fact that there's no explanation at all for the outbreak epidemic. It's simply told that the parasites are the cause since they are seen coming from the bodies of the recently deceased that have been turned into zombies and a scene at a chemical lab tells us that the virus is spread through them, but not how they do it. This manages to make the creatures a complete mystery as to their origins or an official reasoning as to why they're here, which is somewhat of a disappointment and makes them a little more confusing. Also problematic with this piece is that there's nothing told about what makes the parasites so instrumental in the turning into zombies, so this is another problem here. The last problem here is the low-budget, which manages to make some of the best features a little harder to swallow for some because of their obvious fakery. From the gore to the zombie make-up and even the action scenes from time-to-time, this one has a lot of scenes that are quite obvious as to their nature, and make for some problems for some.The Final Verdict: This one was actually a lot of fun, not really having a lot of problems and instead being quite entertaining and enjoyable instead. While those that are somewhat turned off by the low-budget entries out there won't be into this, just about all zombie-movie fans will find something to like here.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language
f-udgy I hired the movie cause it looked like one of those really exciting zombie flicks that would have me on the edge of my seat, jumping up and down at all the scares. My brother soon caught sight of it and decided to watch it with me...The first scene where the "zombified" hand is sticking up out of the ground, we both burst out laughing at how "un-zombie" like it was. The special effects were horrible, the plot line was standard and un-exciting. I mistakingly put this on the top of the to-watch pile.About 35 minutes through I decided that I had enough of a bad movie and switched it off.Waste of a half-an-hour if you ask me
greenflea2 This is not the worse zombie movie i have seem, nothing can be worse than Zombie Nation. There is a story-line and a plot, but the story been recycled over many times. There is a plague, turns everyone into zombies, and its up to a small group of survivors to wipe out the zombies. The hero's old girlfriend is back in town, they hate each other at first and at the end, they lovers. How many times, have i seem this story-line.The scene at the truck accident is so fake, obviously they didn't want to use a real truck to keep costs down.What thing, hits me in this movie, is that the main characters seem slow to act and slow moving. There is a battle scene in a warehouse, were the characters take their time in saving survivors, and shooting zombies who are fast moving. All the three main characters in this movie seem very slow people and take their time when doing anything.This is not a movie to be taken seriously, just a brainless zombie movie, were there is much action, blood and gore, and a few boobs.
