While leaving Berkeley through a shortcut after a meteor shower, the former 2002 Miss Catch of the Day Queen René Chaplin (Felicity Mason) and her boyfriend are forced to stop their car due to an accident on the road. However he is attacked by a zombie and René is saved by the fisherman Marion (Mungo McKay). They run to his small farm, Marion's World of Weapon, and Marion explains that he had been abducted by the aliens while fishing and the acid rain is part of the big plan of aliens. Sooner a small group of survivors reach the spot and they have to fight against the zombies and try to escape to another town. However, they find that aliens built a wall around the area and are abducting the people.
What a great surprise this "Undead" is! The story begins like George Romero's classic "The Night of the Living Dead", is a splatter movie, like Peter Jackson's "Brainded" or "Bad Taste", or Philip Brophy's "Body Melt" and mixes horror with sci-fi in a very funny way. The weak point is the imbecile character of the police officer, who was supposed to be funny, but it is annoying with his stupid lines and attitude. The smart conclusion, when the outbreak is spread by the pilot Wayne, is a little confused and should be developed more clearly. The special effects are excellent. Therefore, "Undead" is a gory zombie movie that deserves to be discovered by fans of trash-movies and with a great potential of cult-movie. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Canibais" ("Cannibals")
Note: On 24 June 2010, I saw this movie again.
