Students on summer break are exposed to a deadly virus that is spread rapidly through direct human contact. The infected become enslaved by the invading "swarm" intelligence and driven by an insatiable appetite to consume human flesh. Returning home, the students spread the infection to their fellow classmates and other unsuspecting townspeople.

Allow me to explain that before you read this review I DO like bad movies, I have written about other bad movies and my collection has as many flops as it does epics. This film however is a lame duck, I didn't enjoy it either as a ironic film or an epic film. To start this film looks like it was made for students, by students, starring students, about students with a student loan covering the budget. It was littered with good looking 18-25 year old's who lacked a lot qualities... the main one being quality itself! The film is unoriginal, predictable, wooden and cheap. This film couldn't even boast any cheap ironic laughs to make up for how bad it was. The film was full of clichés the likes of which pop up in every zombie themed film and highly charged with teenage angst and scents of sexuality. The film get's it's title from a student club/ game which is being played on campus by some of the students, "Zombies vs Humans" is only mentioned a few times but never really fully explored so you never know enough about the game to know if skills gained from it would be beneficial in the reality of a genuine zombie outbreak. In this film being a zombie expert doesn't actually benefit any of the characters, they still make the same stupid mistakes which all other characters do in the film. The film is polluted with stupid moments of people falling over unexpectedly when trying to outrun zombies, people running into concealed areas which would likely trap them, hiding in basements and such. I found myself shouting angrily at the film but then relaxing with the knowledge that the idiot on screen would soon be zombie food.Apparently the origins of the film lie in a live action RPG shooter game, I hope the game is a lot better, this film didn't inspire me to bother finding out. This film took itself far too seriously and was a constant annoyance, not more so than the cast of characters you follow throughout the film; all cool clichés to try and become some kind of cult classic but the vain attempts failed badly. What's with the guy who blatantly wants to be Jack Black - I was hoping he'd get the chop early but unfortunately I was disappointed. As far as effects went they weren't good at all, when the CGI wasn't annoying it was the levels of and timing of any blood splatter and gore. I like gore and splatter but this film seemed to use it just to be cool and 'hip' like other zombie films. I've checked out the reviews of this film and I agree with most and this film should not get more than 2 stars at best. Those people who rated this between 6 and 10 must have been watching something different or being blown under the table from a cast member while writing the review. Yawn! I've suffered this film and wrote about it so you don't have to waste your time on it.

Despite what some reviewers seem to be claiming, I found this movie very enjoyable all the way through. The direction was brilliant, this movie is well on par in both quality and entertainment with modern mainstream zombie movies. Its not resident evil, but that stopped being about zombies years ago anyway :PI would suggest you watch the movie to the end and not just watch it to the first scene, like most of the negative reviewers must have. They come here moaning about how lame they thought the whole movie was despite not even watching it to the end.For me this movie was well executed, kept you interested and the character development was brilliant. Lets face it we don't need to know about the rough childhood memories that a character may or may not have when they are supposed to be shooting the heads off zombies.

It takes a lot for me to not allow a movie to finish so I know what the ending is like. I even finished "2012:Ice Age" and that has got to be one of the most ridiculous movies I have ever seen or reviewed.Now before anyone says that I don't get the genre, I love "The Walking Dead" and have seen almost all the zombie apocalypse movies out there but this one was just...BAD.The plot was err...lame, although with some creative writing it could have been made into something.The dialogue for this must have been written by an eight year old because in reality, my cat could craft better dialogue. Now that doesn't mean that all good movies have great dialogue because there are some out there with very cheesy dialogue, but with a good actor or actress it can be delivered very powerfully.Unfortunately for this movie, only one of the actors appeared to have actually studied the craft. I think the casting interview consisted of one question, "Hey, want to be in a zombie movie?" I place this movie into the category of: "There are some thing we just wish we had never seen."

OK, I went to the screening with the assumption that this would be an OK movie due to the budget size, but let me tell you I was completely surprised at the content of this movie. It was well shot, great cinematography, great soundtrack, the acting was really good, you really believed the emotion and were drawn into it. the comedic element of the lines in the movie really surprised me and made this a very enjoyable movie...although it is not the most kid friendly as it had a few adult scenes, but what horror movie doesn't? Brian Jaynes really out did himself. you can tell that the cast and crew really worked hard and they came up with a winner in my book. 5 stars. the only reason I gave it an 8 instead of 10 was because it did have a few imperfections but they did not detract from the enjoyability of this movie. would definitely recommend it to my friends.
