ARMY OF THE DEAD: ZOMBIE MASSACRE is a micro budget zombie invasion movie that's probably one of the worst I've ever seen. If watching some kind of shot on video rubbish that takes place mainly in the dark is your idea of fun then that's fine but it certainly isn't mine. The story features a zombie outbreak in a small town populated by duller-than-dishwater characters while the cameraman seems to be suffering from the shakes.Plot elements include a sleazy scene at a strip club containing some distinctly unappetising bump and grind, random zombie gore attacks including a bit where a victim has latex pulled off his face (?) and way too much white noise on the soundtrack. It's clearly indebted to Romero but viewers would be advised to just watch one of his classics or one of the modern classics like REC or THE HORDE instead. The worst thing about it is that somebody decided to have the zombie attacks play out to upbeat music - complete nonsense.

It just goes to show you don't have to have a big budget to make a good film. The original Romero films contained more story about the reactions of being involved in a zombie siege than action. This movie was no different. I'm just not a fan of fast zombies :/ lol I really liked this film. It really took me back to the old-school zombie flicks. I'm going to go back and watch Gary Ugarek's other films. And hope there are more to come from this Director. I'm in my forties, so remembering the way I felt when I saw the '68 version of Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the living Dead, and their remakes, still make me want for the older versions....did I mention I don't like fast zombies?!Thanks Gary!!

There is not plot at all. Tests go awry and people are suddenly zombies. Nothing new. Except that nearly half the movie is over before you see a zombie. And idiotically, when a gazillion zombies are rioting, an army guy actually repeatedly says "I got the shot. I got the shot." Uh, it would be hard to miss -- there are so many!It's really a bad movie

You know the drill. It's a small town somewhere in the U.S. One day, folks start acting crazy. People who look … dead perhaps … start attacking people. All attempts to fight them off fail. It's almost as if they were zombies or something.That's right … it's another zombie film. All your standard bases are covered here. There's a government agency quarantining the town. They, of course, cannot successfully fight off the zombies, mostly because they keep forgetting to shoot them in the head. We have a group of survivors, some of whom know each other, some who are strangers, who lock themselves in an enclosed space (a movie theatre) to get away from the zombies. One of them has already been bitten by a zombie … I wonder what will happen to him? As you've probably surmised, this film is a by-the-numbers zombie flick. It's so by-the-numbers that it hits all the broad plot points without bothering to fill in the details. We see an unspecified government agency performing experiments that cause the zombie outbreak, but we never find out what this experiment is or how it might cause people to become zombies. We get no details about how this outbreak occurs. We see nobody become zombies. We don't know how people become zombies. Zombies just appear out of nowhere as needed in whatever size crowd the movie requires.Essentially, it's impossible to have much of a stake in what happens in this movie. With the exception of one creative plot twist during a climactic action sequence, you've seen all of this before and you've seen it done much better. At best, it's a mildly inoffensive time waster.
