Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

GL84 After being killed by her boyfriend, a woman finds that she has been turned into a zombie with the rest of the world starting to turn on the creatures for their condition and eventually joins a zombie's freedom group to keep her rights together that she's earned.There wasn't a whole lot to like about this one. Among the best features here is the fact that it's got a really unique and novel idea that actually seems to be quite inventive, and with nothing at all clichéd about this instead it comes off as being new and original which is what's needed in these kinds of films. This even makes for some really nice scenes that couldn't have come from any other style of film, as there's the rather unique tortures that are inflicted upon them from the abuse on the streets to the treatment in the restaurants and how they're affected on the job-market, there's a lot in here that are solely responsible for being in this kind of film. Even the main scenes here of them sitting around like a support group here are only possible because of this storyline, and these here make this one completely unique and original. There's also the film's rather nice amount of blood and gore, which isn't all that much but does work nicely when it really wants to, and there's a couple of decent shots with it. The last big plus is the few action scenes it has, which are really good. There's a couple of zombie beat-downs near the beginning which are rather nice in a really weird way, the first fight in the park is really great, the raids on the zombie homes are fun and brutal, and bloodshed and the ending just feels right and is the best part of the film. Along with the other factors, these make the film watchable as this one here was somewhat problematic. The main one here is that the film decides to change around the very way that zombies behave, and it might be enough to put off some of the more hardcore fans. This one here gives them the ability to be cognizant of their death-like status, complete with their ability to reason, talk and the really weird subplot about them forming a support group to inform each other and talk about their problems, which is a nice idea but all it does is take away every single thing that made them fearful in the first place. By having them form a group to deal with it makes them seem like big losers, and there's nothing that makes them instantly- nonthreatening compared to others out there. Lastly, it has the other factor of making the beginning of this one incredibly boring since it's really just a rash of scenes that just serve as fodder in the group's talks, and that's hardly anything that can make the film interesting. None of these scenes are all that exciting, and are overall just plain dull, and are then made even worse through the need to play into the support group slot. These here are the biggest problems in the film.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

Slowblivion I'll forego a summary of the plot as it's available on many of the reviews already. This was actually an alright movie! The plot is fairly basic as a fanatical zombie group fights a fanatical human group. The trend to have zombies as more than just mindless, thoughtless, and speechless beings is a nice change (although there will always be a part of me who loves the Romero dead) I think what this story lacks however is a clear or at least defined subtext. It's fraught with social commentary, which I enjoy, but I feel like it's a bit all over the map. You can insert almost any "large group oppresses a minority group" commentary and it works. First that comes to mind is racism though. Second comes the idea of religious fundamentalism which is a bit more deep but just as interchangeable. Acting is actually pretty good. I like that the content is taken seriously by the film makers and I think that comes off well on screen. I think a lot of the actors put a lot into this and while there are times where the acting is a little stale or reactions are sub par, I think in general acting was a positive. One problem I have is during large portions of the beginning of the film, the soundtrack is far too loud compared to the dialogue and it's distracting. Editing isn't bad in the film but there are some sections where the cuts are off beat and a bit rough. Another issue I have with this is the amount of girls in underwear or underwear visible from angles which allow for upskirts. It's not like I have some problem with it overall but I do feel like by putting your main character in a skirt the entire movie then positioning the camera just right to catch those upskirts is a bit much. Maybe they were trying to hit more of a young male demographic but I think it's distracting from a decent film. There seems to be an abandonment halfway through the film of what is "normal" in the world. It's clear there are these 2 extremist groups but there is no sense of what the rest of the world actually feels as zombies are able to hold jobs and mingle at will with humans who tend to have no problem with it. It feels like I'm forced to watch only what these crazies are doing giving me little middle ground and honestly little break between one crazy group and the other. General camera work and lighting is alright. I think many shots are underexposed and framed poorly while others look great minus the low camera quality. As this is a zombie movie it's important to mention gore and SFX. If you want gore, well there's plenty of bites, head chopping, bullet wounds etc. I think it looked pretty good and I was impressed. Of course many of the gun shots (and there are a lot) have very low quality muzzle flashes but given the amount of other SFX I think the flashes can be excused. Overall, i think It's moderately entertaining. It's nothing fantastic but certainly better than much of the drudge that swarms the zombie genre. They took it seriously and so will I. I give it a 6 for accomplishing a decent story, good gore and better than your average zombie movies acting. I take off for the general pacing, an unclear subtext, at times rough camera, editing, and audio work and, the unnecessary use of language and panty shots. (Before you go and say "wow, who made you PC police" I think offensive words can be used if there is a clear meaning and it has some relevance to character or plot such but in this case neither occurred and I just felt it was unnecessary usage)

ZombieRanger Very obvious and overall worthless little flick that tries to equate the plight of the undead with social issues like AIDS racism and homosexuality, which ultimately leads to a downright confusing message. The problem is certain metaphors get lost in translation. At one point we're supposed to be horribly disgusted when the villainess causes a commotion upon being served food by a zombie. Now I understand it's supposed to be symbolic of intolerance towards different groups of people, but if your waiter was a walking decaying husk, you'd lose your appetite too. The movie completely loses it's focus towards the end when cults and militias start popping up and going to battle(which means a half dozen people with fake knives and plastic guns have an after effects shootout and toss blood bags at one another.) Cap it off with a really unsatisfying conclusion and you'll know why this thing should be skipped.

w00f I thoroughly enjoyed this low-budget flick. It's a zombie movie with a human twist, centered on Angela. She's been murdered but can't die like a lot of other people who find themselves now as the undead. She, like them, wants to have a life but she has to figure out where she fits into the world. She goes from joining an unrealistic, touchy-feely self-help group for zombies that sits around and talks and gets nowhere to being kidnapped by a radical zombie group.Meanwhile, vigilantes bent on wiping out all zombies intrude, with her murderous ex-boyfriend along for the ride. It all culminates in a blood bath, of course... but while the gore goes over the top, it's not without a good deal of emotional impact. Angela will finally learn how to stop being a victim and stand up for herself. The writing is good and the acting is as well through most of this.I came close to loving ZA, but the acting of Christa McNamee as The Commandant detracted a little too much from the rest of the film for that. Joshua Nelson is quite good; this seems a better vehicle for him than "The Blood Shed," for instance. Gina Ramsden turns in what I thought a strong performance as Angela.I like the way that the zombies themselves were handled in this, too. They're neither lumbering reanimated corpses nor supercharged high-speed killers. They can think and feel and even act like normal people. They're nearly impossible to truly kill, too, which the film shows has its good points and a LOT of bad ones.While there are some humorous moments, calling this a satire isn't a fair label. Most of the humor is quite dark and the movie seems more concerned with making a point about abusive relationships, people's prejudices and vanity. For a low-budget flick, there's a lot here for the viewer if he's not entirely distracted by the gore, but still enough of that to keep a gore-hound happy, too.
