Yes this movie is plodding and boring and never really goes any where.It does however manage to rip off about all of Romero's zombie movies instead of just one like most terribly made zombie movies do.A group of people end up hiding out in a warehouse after some sort of experimental material is released that turns people in brain dead zombies who ,of course, have to eat lots of meat to keep up their metabolism.This will sort of remind you of both "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead".They even mention the plot to "Night of the Living Dead " at one point! The leader of the group turns out to be some government courier agent who was escorting some weird albino chick who is somehow involved in all of this.He is,of course, a black guy.Meanwhile in a subplot a group of scientists and military men are holed up in another compound conducting experiments on the zombies like in "Day of the Dead".One of the zombies is especially mean and nasty and this sort of echoes "Land of the Dead".This movie even manages to rip off the remake of "Dawn of the Dead" as the group fights their way from the warehouse to a van.Anyway this movie isn't nearly good enough for you to care too much about the plot.It's basically one big rip-off.The acting is terrible,there is no character development and the zombies are few and far in between.Since when has zombie movies turned into movies that show few zombies but lots of scenes where people are just TALKING about zombies? Sheesh! Special effects are pretty mundane....little black holes appear in the zombie foreheads when they are shot and we have a few shots of what are supposed to be guts being pulled but all in all the gore factor is lame.Much of the movie is just these people standing around in this warehouse listening to zombies bang around on the walls outside.Skip this low budget snoozer and rent something by Romero instead if you're hankering for zombies.This is just another poorly done lame zombie movie made by people who have about as much talent for movie making as Miley Cyrus does for singing.

My first review of a movie...For fans of Max Brooks and/or conspiracy theorists.Night of the Living Dead's influence is no more obvious than when the character Jason says "Did you ever see that movie.. the black guy and the.. zombies? Those people in that house?" to character Frank Chambers. And Ken Edwards does do a good job as Frank Chambers, taking charge of a situation we think we know all too well: the zombiegeddon.No great special effects, but some nice thought-out strategy, if such an unlikely event were to ever occur. Seems the filmmakers didn't really have the money to pull off the battle scenes they needed, but the general atmosphere and mood is great. A bit more blood would've helped things along nicely.(A slight critique - if you're going to have a "personal video diary" throughout the film, why not make it shakycam so it doesn't seem the same quality as everything else?)

I really did enjoy this film.. It was both enthralling, funny, and exhilarating. the combination of suspense, and comic relief was well balanced.. The make up and costumes were intense. The plot in reality makes you wonder what the GOVERNMENT really would do to its own with out any warning ... I love Frank Chambers and his control... I also found amusement with the young prodigy "antdote" I have been looking for this Movie to come out for over a year.... OMG... I can't wait until November.... Those of you who have not had the chance to see this "horror" I can only say it is the LIVING DEAD meets OUTBREAK.. Enough gore for the freaky side and scifi Xfiles rift for the scifi junky.. It does NOT drag on like some films. Enjoy

This is another one of those films that offers a view at what could possibly happen soon in the U.S. thanks either to foreign or internal terrorists. In any case, a lethal toxin is released in the air supply that causes brains to turn to jelly (And mine too wading through all of this!) and men into mindless animals bent on the desire for only one thing - to satisfy their insatiable hunger with any food source possible, including humans! Nevertheless, however similar these inhumans may be they are not zombies. The leading actor, Ken Edwards is about the only one who seems to know what acting is all about and is convincing as "Frank Chambers", a sort of C.I.A. meets F.E.M.A. type of guy. This film is not awful it's just sub-par for this genre, in my opinion. The story is not original and has been done so often recently and far better that I would recommend this only to those who feel they must see all of these types of films to actually prepare for a coming attack. Finally, on one odd note, I don't know for sure if she was Melissa Holmes, Paula Kavanaugh, Lyn Pierce or another actress, but she has an uncanny resemblance to Barbara Olson, the conservative commentator, author and lawyer who used to be often seen blinking and adding her $00.2 to many a "Larry King Live" show. As YOU may know, Mrs. Olson sadly died on the American Airline flight 77 that slammed into the Pentagon, so it couldn't be her, but with all of the conspiracy talks, etc. I certainly did a double take upon viewing this feisty actress in this film. So, as far as that goes, check this out to see what I mean and, if anything, let's "big up" Ken Edwards, so we can see him in a better, future role. FuturePrimitive666.
