| User ReviewBud LDanny Trejo and zombies whats not to love |
| User ReviewChristopher CGreat low budget Horror movie, the acting is a bit shaky, and some of the Zombie's but it's still great fun |
| User ReviewDesiree Ewell I muat say it isn't the best film ever, it is a decent waste of time acting was kinda bad but hell, I've seen worse |
| User ReviewWes SIt wasn't that bad, i seen far worse from both Asylum and Syfy. |
| User ReviewAlec BNot 'Dawn of the Dead', but a pretty okayish Syfy B-movie. |
| User ReviewSheldon MI had a few moments that annoyed me with the movie, but it actually moved away from the one thing that would make me hate the movie. Give it a fair chance. Special effects aren't everything. |
| User ReviewJack EVery bloody but decent zombie movie. Hemingway still looks hot after all these years |
| User ReviewMad MMariel Hemingway, Levar Burton and Danny Trejo head a talented cast in a pretty good rehash of the zombie movie. Aside from a better cast than usual, this films adds nothing new to the genre. The filmmakers did try to give a bit more attention to the whole how do zombies live question but since it is simply impossible they can't add anything much. There is also some attempt to create a little atheist scientist versus religious believer tension but nothing comes of that either. The action is good and for a change who will die next is not predictable. If you like zombie movies at all, this is an entertaining one but certainly no film classic. |
| User ReviewAllan CLike the other recent SyFy original film "Zombie Apocalypse", this zombie film is a mixed bag. On the positive side it's heavy on zombies, has a few good ideas and scenarios sprinkled throughout, and has a decent cast of mostly the used-to-be-famous but who also includes a zombie Danny Trejo. . On the down side it's pretty cheaply made with some very low-grade CGI, story-wise there's nothing new and the film seemed unable to decide if it was serious or camp (at least I hope some parts of the film were intended as camp). But despite the negatives, it's not a bad zombie flick and is actually better than a lot of the other zombie dreck being peddled out there (i.e. "Resident Evil"). |
| User ReviewSara BSyfy channel presents this zombie apocalypse film with little to no creativity. San Fransisco became over run by zomebies, and few survivors escapes to Alcatraz but then the zombie could swim so they have to move to other places and find security and a possible cure. The interesting aspect was that the epidemic was caused by microorganism and they are not immune to electricity, also the infection can be really fast. It's just fun to see Danny Trejo in this film, that's all there is really. The plot was dumb, special effect was crap, a lot of unnecessary scenes and characters that served no purpose to the main storyline. The zom-baby seemed promising but is utterly useless when it got crushed by feet. |
