1/10
Not a single redeeming feature

I'm sorry but I cannot understand how anyone, even the director's mother could write a positive review of this film. I had to sit through this god-awful mess of a film last night and it was so horribly bad it actually offended and depressed me that a script this awful could have ever received funding.

The acting is atrocious, The camera-work and lighting inconsistent within single scenes. Big chunks of completely pointless dialog scenes whose sole purpose seemed to be to drag out the running time to feature length. It was a mish-mash of poorly executed rip offs of other horror movies like The Evil Dead, Night of the Living Dead etc. Apparently the director is a huge horror fan, which really makes me wonder how he could show a blatant disregard for most of the unwritten 'rules' of zombie movies. For one the zombies use tools, and seem far too intelligent. Also there's a scene where a big horde of zombies just simply give up and walk away.

The effects were serviceable, nothing special, but they were repetitive. If I had €1 for every time a zombie got stabbed in the eye by a stick or something similar I would have made my money back from renting this awful awful film.

There was barely enough material in this film to make a sh*tty short film never mind a full feature. I am completely dumb-founded how this film has received any positive comments on this site. It even failed miserably at falling into the 'So bad it's good' category.

I have to end this review now because otherwise I'll vomit from the bad taste this film has left in my mouth.
