Automaton Transfusion starts like any other day in a small town where everyone goes about their business as usual, however the day soon turns into one like no other as a virus which turns the infected into a flesh eating zombie has already turned most of the town into mindless flesh eating zombies that are out of control & hungry for human flesh. A group of teenage friends survive the initial attacks & go on the run trying to stay alive & seek help...
Known as Zombie Transfusion on DVD here in the UK this was edited, written & directed by Steven C. Miller who also has a role in the film & is a pretty poor attempt at some sort of zombie epic in the vein of 28 Days Later... (2002) with fast running zombies that greatly outnumber the surviving humans. The plot is absolutely minimal, the character's are faceless & I can't even remember any of their names even though I only saw it a few hours ago, the cause of the zombie infection is never seen & although there's some heard it all before clichéd nonsense about the military creating a zombie virus to create the ultimate soldier it's never seen & the start of the zombie outbreak is never seen. The entire film basically has these poorly fleshed out character's just running from zombies, that's it, that's all there is to Automation Transfusion & it gets very boring, very repetitive & dull. Automation Transfusion is a collection of zombie film clichés that just trickles along in a way that doesn't engage or entertain in any way, I just can't think of anything positive to say about Automation Transfusion & an incredibly frustrating 'to be continued...' ending just leaves things hanging in the air & doesn't reward you for sitting through it.
Apparently this was shot in just nine days & it does show with a very amateur look, as has been mentioned already by other's Automation Transfusion has some technical issues & looks simply horrible. There's a blur to the picture & certain scenes look like YouTube videos with a blocky appearance that have a jerky movement to them. The only real highlight are one or two decent gore scenes, there's a woman who has her jaw ripped off & a scene that reminded me of a similar one from Lucio Fulci's classic Zombi 2 (1979) in which someones eye is forced onto a spiked piece of glass. The rest of the gore is nothing more that a few bite wounds & lots of blood splatter that exactly the same as each other, there's lots of blood splatter but it just sort of blurs into one & has less & less impact the more it's repeated.
With a supposed ultra low budget of about $50,000 the low budget tells & it really looks it, apparently filmed in Florida. The acting is poor all round.
Automation Transfusion is a poor low budget home made zombie film with one or two decent moments of gore but nothing else, you can do much, much better than the likes of this. The IMDb lists a sequel Automation Transfusion: Contingency (2010) as in production, I shudder at the very thought.
