Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Someone thought they were being oh-so clever when they cast Dawn of the Dead star Ken Foree in this zombie film and then had him reference his role in the Romero classic, when in reality this is one of the most embarrassingly trite things to do in a modern zombie film (along with calling a character Savini, which they also do here!).In fact, there is absolutely nothing innovative or clever about this sorry affair that trots out all the expected zombie movie clichés—which might not have been quite so bad if the film hadn't been performed by a bunch of untalented Serbians struggling with the English language and directed by a pair of horror rookies who clearly think that an excess of shaky cam makes a zombie attack more scary (and who also have their undead roaring like wild animals just to be sure) .Some reasonable make-up/gore effects prevent the film from being a complete waste of time, and a few unintentional laughs can be had from an out-of-shape Foree as he attempts to outrun the undead (even the slow ones—this film features zombies of all speeds) and struggles to squeeze his gut through the window of a railway carriage.3.5 out of 10, generously rounded up to 4 for the blood 'n' guts.

OK, I get it: zombie movies don't need great acting, or a good story or decent camera work to be watchable or entertaining. But what we have here is some of the worst examples of all of the above. Really terrible doesn't even describe it, because it still leaves open the possibility of this movie being truly bad, yet somehow fun. However, "Zone of the Dead" is as much fun as a visit to the dentist. A drunken dentist, that is.I wish it had one redeemable quality worth mentioning. Even Foree is awful in this one, not to mention the rest of the wooden protagonists. Don't waste your time.

I really love zombie movies, the good ones and the bad ones. This one falls somewhere in the middle. Most zombie movies I see are terrible, and not worth watching once, let alone adding to the collection to watch in the future.I would say this is worth adding to a zombie movie collection. But if you aren't a zombie fan, then this movie is probably not for you.It has about as much drama as a Resident Evil video game, and the acting isn't much better. But it's far better than most of the zombie trash that comes out lately. I would say this movie just barely fits in to the top 50 zombie/flesh eating movies of all time.

InterPol agents join forces with a dangerous prisoner to fend off the zombie hordes.Zone of the Dead is a zombie actioner produced in Serbia. Many low budget zombie films are still effective, however, Zone of Dead isn't one of them and is poorly put together. Stefano Caprioli's score is good but it's unevenly placed over the film, at times distracting. The same can be said for the sound. The make up effects are well done and the setting adds atmosphere. There's a handful of sets ups with a little sword and gun play. Milan Todorovic and Vukota Brajovic's story is adequate. Directors Milan Konjevic and Milan Todorovic over use the shaky cam look and there's no getting away from Konjevic's sub-par screenplay.Kristina Klebe as Agent Mina Milius lights up the screen and of course there's Ken Foree but they can't save that poor script which is badly delivered by the majority of rest of the cast.It faults are to distracting for you to sit back and enjoy it as much as it may deserve. All the ingredients are there but someone wasn't watching the cooking times. True DTV hell.
