Well Done!!!! in Jaipur at film festival-2011
latha-15806 February 2011
I don't like blood and killing much.This was next film and took a chance to see the film.Interesting story,characters,acting,makeup and song.It was all a different experience to watch horror film in a full packed theatre here in jaipur.I was also surprised to see how well the audience like the film.They whistled and shouted and almost everyone liked the film when asked by the director mukesh who was present to answer questions.Jaipur people wants to see more action horror and fight oriented thrillers which is zombie beach.I cannot rate this film more than 7 but the film already got good reviews from different category of audience.

Very interesting zombie film.
ratmani80420 July 2010
Amazed the way this film holds interest.Best part of the film was multi cultural zombie film.I got to see this film in philadelphia in the film festival and was looking on the details to find where it was made and was impressed with the talents.Very tastefully made zombie film.All characters looks good in their performance but i was impressed with the lead performer.He was very expressive with the holyman and the crazy man character.This film will do good in other film festivals as well.Got good appreciation in USFF-2010.Got to see that it got screened in Indiana as well which confirms its doing well at other places.Best of luck to the cast and crew of the film.

Most Cool Zombie Film
ka259920 July 2010
The comedy and performance of actors are very good.Casting looks very impressive as lead actor Roshan suits perfect to the character with actress.The detective was Hilarious and crazyman was very scary and interesting.All zombies were very scary and the scenes filmed looks very well planned.Directors vision looks very clear in making this film.Editing gets another praise as credits and cuts and very well used to keep the pace of the whole film,color at few point could have been better but it seems it was edited to look more rough based on genre.I should say most interesting zombie film i found in Monster Film Convention here in Indiana.Must watch this film.

What are you people smoking?
sandy2318526 July 2012
This movie was horrible. Bad acting, horrible video and sound quality (looks like it was made on a cheap digital camcorder), inane and idiotic dialogue. It reminded me of "The Dead Next Door" but starring only 20 year-olds with no acting experience.

I understand this is a very low budget (NO budget!) film, and I didn't expect professional lighting and sound, but people are giving this 10 stars? Seriously??? And they're charging 25 bucks for this on Amazon!?! Something's fishy here. I made movies like this with my friends in high school. I have a serious suspicion that all of these 10 star reviews have been added by the filmmakers and cast to boost the film's user rating.

Stay away.

A must watch film
usan3411 July 2010
As a director myself I would like to congratulate the director of this movie.The direction was very impressive. I got the chance to see this movie in Monsters convention in Indiana.I really liked the way the main lead changes its style appearance as and when require to suit the theme of the movie.I would also appreciate the other cast like crazy man and the priest.The story plot hold the interest of the viewers with its twist and turn theme.I would say that after watching slumdog millionaire,I am always keen to see the different bollywood movies.Well it is not a bollywood but a total mixture of different culture.Go ahead and watch it!!

Uniformly boring
Leofwine_draca26 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
ZOMBIE BEACH is a Canadian indie horror that does exactly what it says on the tin: a trio of zombies hang around on a beach and occasionally eat daytrippers. As a film, it has the worst picture quality I've seen in a while, with vertical stretching and random blue tinting to give it a uniformly boring look. The zombie make up is okay but the protagonists are a dull bunch who wander around a lot and actually achieve very little.

Another Zombie Film!!! But its different.!!! Well made!!!
zdelna11 July 2010
As a viewer I was excited to see this movie in Monstes Famous Film Festival.The movie was screened over there and it was appreciated by each and everyone.The movie had a zombie theme but yet it was so different from other zombie movies.It was able to hold the interest of the viewers till the end.The direction and cinematography was excellent too.Now even the young directors are making a landmark and this has been proved by Mukesh Asopa.His acting skills were excellent along with the crazy man and other zombies.The trailer looked so interesting and the credit goes to the editor.The hard work can be seen and is highly appreciated.I would encourage everybody to see it.Just waiting for its release.Cheers!!!

The style is absolutely amazing
magicgirl-34014 July 2011
The style is absolutely amazing from the visuals to the synthesized soundtrack. I normally hate 70's sounding electronic music but this soundtrack really emphasizes the feeling of dread in this movie.The final shots are hypnotizing and (as with all other zombie movies) even though the acting could have been better, the suspense of the finale makes this a movie I would recommend to any horror fan.The visuals are creepy and outstanding. The way the light and shadows reflect add so much to the movie. The gore is outstanding and will make any normal person want to turn away.The music is good and sets the tone.The only moment where I started enjoying the movie was the climax. The last twenty minutes or so were great.Film got very well acceptance at the theatre and audience cheers....

Awful
mthibeault-500216 July 2018
This movie is awful. This guy who directed and wrote this crap stinks. There's only a couple zombies and 90% of the movie is just blurry, shaky nothing, waiting for something to happen.

Zombiebeach-Fantastic
pria799 August 2010
I enjoyed Zombiebeach, and in the end I was left feeling satisfied. It seems to have been well reviewed because there is nothing necessarily bad about the movie,alongwith a few laughs and different story-plot. I wanted to like it, and I enjoyed the first two thirds of the movie. There's some stabs at character development, but it is incredibly simplified - the character crazy man and the detective who is not ready to believe anything-coz simply he didn't want to. Some people have been comparing this to "Shaun of the dead",and "Zombieland" but I think that was a vastly different film, mainly because the zombies were an actual threat in "Shaun" and Zombieland was more of comedy type. In Zombiebeach, the zombies exist more for their story-plot and it synchronize with the script.I was a fan of the ending, it felt like leaving everything open so there can be a sequel, and yet almost everything is resolved. The acting is solid,especially by Roshan even though somewhere the story's arc was so challenging. Finally,it's worth seeing again and again.

A Turd in the Punch Bowl
hereispierre3 July 2018
There is a turd in the punch bowl people... pretty suspicious about this one. So many very similar reviews all giving 9's and 10's and raving in very similar ways about the festival they saw this "movie" at, how to buy it on Amazon, and how good and genius it is. Also tend to notice how after all these years almost l of these reviewers have only reviewed this movie and maybe the director's other movie? Hmmmmm I wonder why that is?

Anyway this movie is garbage. The picture quality is terrible, the editing is amateurish (like below high school video club level ability), the writing is about the worst I've seen (I swear this guy must be an amateur and also not have English as a first language because what people say is so boring and expository... there's nobody on earth who actually talks like this... and yet this film still isn't at all funny or entertaining in its mistakes, it's just BAD bad.)

Really awful acting and the producer/writer/star/director/guy who I bet wrote all these raving reviews is about the worst thing in the film.

There's also only like four zombies in the whole stupid movie! Rip off! And the plot is ridiculous but again not funny ridiculous just way too easy and boring and never even funny.

Very disappointed in this turd.

Action, Thriller, Suspense
dabv7711 July 2010
We have seen lot of zombie and vampire movie with altogether the same theme but this has its own unique feature.A total thriller,suspense with a theme of reincarnation.It's a cross culture film and you get to know the differences between culture.You can get acquainted with Indian ,spanish,american accent.The acting skills of each cast is also remarkable.As an actor myself I can feel the hard work and dedication of this project.I wish to work with Roshan,the main lead in my near future.All the best to the cast and crew members.I got to see this movie in monster convention in Indiana.I would suggest everyone to go ahead and enjoy this movie.

Worthy of regard as a stand-alone film in festival at Washougal
rocky-945-2035519 January 2011
Before I start my review, let me just say that this will be biased as I am always easily won over by zombie movies. The fact that they just keep coming (fast or slow), lack character and only want to kill really just freaks me out. So I tend to get easily scared by the genre (even if 'enjoy' is perhaps not the right word) and be easily more negligent towards their faults. Despite telling myself that I wouldn't bother with this film as it would scare me, I went for it anyway in a fit of 'confront your fears' type of stupidity! The film starts with a creepy opening and pretty much manages to keep the pace up for the whole film. It, like the zombies, moves fast and brutally throughout and is very, very tense.The plot itself also has quite a few stupid moments where the characters act in a way you know they wouldn't in real life.

The cast is good even if the script places their characters secondary to the action.Multicultural casting and music video make me feel very good about the film.I can see Asopa alone had done lots of work in making this film and it is very well done.It was very well accepted by audience at the film festival in Washougal.

Rubbish
psolala20 September 2018
This movie is rubbish. The worst script, acting and production value I've seen in any zombie movie ever, and that's saying a lot since there are so many truly awful independent zombie knock-off B-movies out there. The director clearly has no idea what he's doing.

Plus I get the very strong feeling most of these ratings and reviews are also rubbish. How many reviewers mention all the different festivals they saw it at, using similarly flawed English, and raving about the film's "craft" and other small details nobody but crew/cast/families/friends would ever care about? I doubt even 100 people saw this movie let alone bothered to write a review. Plus to be frank there's no way that many people honestly would give this movie a 10 or 9 rating, that just doesn't pass he smell test for a movie this amateurish, boring and frankly, bad.

For a zombie movie it doesn't even have zombies! Like four people in bad makeup for what, two minutes of total time? This movie is terrible and so are these glowing reviews. #fakenews

Cool Zombie Film With Music Video
mshania17121 July 2010
I got to watch it in Monster convention where our film was screening on same day.I liked the poster as it said lots of thing about the film.So i planned to watch it and was thrilled seeing the way it went.Music video with the title of the film was a very good concept applied and i heard few kids singing the song later.Actors and actresses were good.The crazy man in the film was very interesting.It clearly shows a high production value of the film with lots of talents involved in making it a success.The credit goes to main person behind the show looks like one person had most responsibility to make this film success.The location of the film and title of the film goes so well.

Ugh
terryterrystone3 September 2018
Terrible movie. Terrible acting, terrible probably unfinished script, terrible production values, terrible sound that's just not right through the whole thing, most of all terrible zombies and there's only a few of them in the whole movie for like a couple minutes so why is this thing even called Zombie Beach? Also the usual giant pile of reviews I doubt are real for these Mukesh Asopa things.

Fun and Entertaining,
shaun-5479 January 2011
There is so many great things you can say about Zombie Beach. This film is funny, scary and at times heartbreaking. The cast and director really played every angle perfectly. They gave you characters you actually gave a damn about, and a story that was entertaining.

I have truly never laughed so hard in my life, and the comedic genius of both Mukesh and Kristi Woods is outstanding, not too mention how well they play off each other and it is as funny if not funnier than any of the Monty Python stuff out there.I got to see this film in Washington at PTFF and was very impressed.

I am not a spoiler type person, but I highly suggest you check this film out and if you don't get any of the three emotions I mentioned above then you are a shut-in whom should be banned from ever watching another film in the Horror and comedy genre.

How Many Fake Reviews? Is this Mukesh Asopa Guy a Poor Man's Frank D'Angelo?
brice-945-4100279 July 2018
Much like Frank D'Angelo this guy makes a bunch of his own films and has himself star in them and has a ton of credits in them. Like D'Angelo he can't act his way out of a paper bag and the production stinks. But at least D'Angelo uses professional quality cameras, sound equipment and crew. This guy's locally produced short films are only watchable out of necessity so you don't feel rude walking out of the mini-local-film fest it somehow got it. Like D'Angelo I suspect he sponsors fests etc which also explains how both of them "win" a bunch of awards on this little never heard of festival destinations.

Both of them have movies only a handful of people have ever seen yet somehow tons of high scores and reviews pop up from users who have only registered to say how much they love his movie. Like, a ridiculous number of reviewers. It's painfully obvious what's going on here.

Anyway, this zombie movie isn't a movie because of the poor quality and length and isn't a zombie movie because the makeup is not very good, the effects are worse/non-existent and there's a total of four or five zombies who pop up in the film for almost no screen time. Nothing interesting, funny or entertaining at all in this. It's not even bad in a funny way, it's just bad.

Give it up, Mukesh Asopa, your short movies stink and the reviews and ratings are fake, fake, fake.

Worst zombie ever made.....
greatnitin-123 October 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Never trust the IMDb. Currently rated 7.5 there, I note how most of the reviews are from people who have either a) never reviewed anything else, or b) have only reviewed the director's other movie. Hmmm. While not without promise, this is mostly amateur work, with a poorly thought-out script, cringeworthy dialogue and a grand total of about five zombies. From what I could tell, there's a beach where the undead are able to walk the earth, and woe betide anyone that goes there - for example, for a swimwear photo-shoot. Meanwhile, there's a policeman trying to figure out what's going on (I guess the 'Zombie Beach' sign didn't give him a clue), a holy man who provides all the necessary exposition, and leading man Roshan, played by director, producer and co-writer Asopa.

highly entertaining horror fest,
johnasonsmailbox9 January 2011
I got to see this movie in Washougal film festival as one of my film screening was there.This movie was the only feature from Canada it is exciting, funny, and scary. Katherine was awesome as the actress and I love her reactions with the main hero Mukesh.It did have some drawbacks but every film had those. I cannot stress how awesome this movie is, and believe me I am not a stupid movie lover, I love the originals and I am very hard on what horror movie I watch. This one just had this feel to it which made it so enjoyable to me.

The directing by Mukesh was great as well. His choice of colors made everything look washed out and unique, Charles Ross did the editing just thought that was cool to know. Mukesh's choice of certain shots is kind of weird but it worked out well, and by this I mean why show a toilet for comedy, well for whatever reason it was a good choice. The direction has enthusiasm and you can tell that Mukesh cared and lot and had a blast as well. Music wise the score was good, nothing spectacular but good, and the choice of songs was very unique, When the Rappers comes around.Overall the film was very well accepted by audience in the screening room in Washougal film festival.Will buy copy of DVD once it is available.

Not good.

While not without promise, this is mostly amateur work, with a poorly thought-out script, cringeworthy dialog and a grand total of about five zombies. From what I could tell, there's a beach where the undead are able to walk the earth, and woe betide anyone that goes there - for example, for a swimwear photo-shoot. Meanwhile, there's a policeman trying to figure out what's going on (I guess the 'Zombie Beach' sign didn't give him a clue), a holy man who provides all the necessary exposition, and leading man Roshan, played by director, producer and co-writer Asopa.

He's hardly the heroic type, possessing little in the way of screen presence, but he's hardly the film's worst element either. That would be the awful pacing, that lurches and lumbers like the titular monsters. Officially running 71, it is barely past 50 before you get to the zombie-themed rap (z-rap?), very slow credits crawl and out-takes. And it's 30 minutes before any meaningful z-action shows up, with far more time given to the "zany" antics of Roshan's chums, trying to scam girls into posing for them. Oh, the laughs just never start...

I always look for positives in micro-budget horror, and here, the look of the film is decent enough, with some interesting cinematography. The zombie make-up also does the job, and despite my previous sarcasm, the z-rap is actually not bad, part of a soundtrack that is all over the place style-wise, yet somehow works. But these don't come close to balancing the major problems with the script; Asopa might be better off deciding whether to write, direct or act, as on the evidence of this, dividing his talents among all three is spreading them perilously thin.

Brilliantly crafted from beginning to end,
osan979 August 2010
I caught a sneak preview of Zombiebeach with a friend and was impressed to say the least.

Anything that has been taboo for horror films at one time is met head on. I won't list each as not to spoil the movie but Zombiebeach has a unique ability to make almost anything seem suspense,comical. This includes the fact that for some reason it seems that every zombie in Zombiebeach has a blood belching problem like other movies. Literally every zombie has blood spewing from their mouth. This is captured best in the climax .

Crazyman and detective is funny enough with their unique style that proves to be what keeps him alive but it isn't until he meets Roshan and zombie , that things really kick into gear. Roshan seems to have been born for this role. Each line is typically not so vulgar nor offensive. Let's face it, if you are completely offended by blood then you aren't likely to be sitting with a crowd watching Zombiebeach in the first place.

A little romance is thrown into the mix when Roshan and Vanessa come up. For a zombie comedy I thought crazy man and Roshan actually had decent chemistry. Not that much time is dedicated to romance but what is there comes across as sincere. Even without the romance the girls are an important part of the chemistry of Zombiebeach. They help to even out the brawn and the brains between the characters.

Zombiebeach has a simple story.Roshan with the simple mission to reincarnate and take the revenge from the zombies which is his ultimate destiny.A small part of the film feels like the movie Vacation with zombies.

The biggest moment of the film has to be the mystery cameo. I'm glad I didn't know and I won't spoil it for anyone else. I will say that it was brilliantly written into the script. PERFECT! It really goes to show how much they focused on getting Zombiebeach to be a top notch flick that should go down as a horror-comedy classic to remember.

Zombie Beach Music Video
darpk21 July 2010
Yoo It was thrilling and scary film with a hip hop music video with the title of the film.Very interesting film to watch.I wish i would have worked with these people for the music video.Mukesh sir if you get this message please give me a chance,I had send an email to you with my profile.I have been struggling and no luck yet.All actresses were very good and i like the female rapper in the music video.At one point of time i found some error with the brightness but other than that everything was very good.Makeup looks good and few zombies were very scary specially the one who laughs after eating the cop.Every moment of the film was full of thrill and interesting people with different accents.

DVD's on Amazon......This film succeeds in a major way in believability.
kingkong-200027 August 2011
A film must be believable on certain levels, in order to get me to suspend my disbelief on other levels. There must be enough believable elements for me to see through the obviously unbelievable ones. This film succeeds in a major way in believability.

The visual effects are an essential part of the movie, and they really needed to be done well here to properly sell the idea - safe to say that they were still good enough to surpass my already unrealistically high expectations! Safe to say, even in today's computer saturated film industry the special effects in Zombie Beach will still succeed in blowing you away.The cast is pitch perfect, right down to the most minuscule parts.

I am a fan of zombie movies and fiction movies and got collection of most zombie movies ever made.This one was ordered at amazon and happy to add to my collection.

So Bad... So Boring...
gregberne1122 November 2018
This movie is so boring with such bad acting and such a stupid story. I don't know how this got made. Also there is no way it got this many high ratings and high reviews FYI... almost all the positive reviewers only rated just this one movie on IMDB which seems to indicate they are dummy accounts. I think these votes and reviews must be fake.
