Following the 9/11 attacks, the war on terror against Afghanistan continues. With the Taliban insurgents hiding out in the mountains however, they become increasingly difficult for the US military to engage. The solution is to try and flush them out by adding low level chemicals to the water supply. Little do the USA know however that enemy scientists have adapted the chemicals to make their own formula, one that can bring the dead back to life.

Osama Bin Laden has secretly been making zombies for his newest biological weapons. When troops storm into his bunker he injects himself with the zombie serum. The soldiers shoot him and transport his body in a plane. He becomes a zombie mid flight making the plane crash into the ocean thus releasing Osombie.This thing was ridiculous. All kinds of zombies are walking around in the desert when an American team gets there and just starts shooting them like its a video game. They don't even question the fact that they are zombies. So now expert zombie killers they cut across the desert looking for Bin Laden with lots of CGI blood. The woman soldier has a samurai sword on her back. Why a Seal unit would carry that is beyond me but you just knew they had to incorporate into a scene.This wasn't very politically correct or any good really. Just one long boring video game.

Great production value for what it is. The CGI is pretty good, and the costumes and props are excellent. Also, if you like good movies, you won't like Osombie. If you like bad movies, you won't like Osombie, but hey! If you think Ewe Boll is a genius and ahead of his time, then you'll love this movie.If you know anything about military tactics, this movie will offend your sensibilities. If your military experience comes entirely from media, this movie will still offend your sensibilities. This group of soldiers, purportedly Army Rangers, utilize the "rush into the center of a hoard of zombies and fire in all directions" combat method. They don't hold a line. They rush to melee range to shoot .50 BMGs from the hip. In their defense, they never look surprised when someone is bitten, which is at almost every encounter. Interestingly, the meat head who likes to fight zombies half naked shows impressive survivability.The dialogue is horrid. Whoever wrote it tried to cram in every colloquial metaphor they'd ever heard in a tragic failure to sound cool. I could forgive "Tomboy's" flawless makeup in every scene and the fact that everyone looks clean and well-fed in spite of daily temperatures in excess of 120 degrees Fahrenheit and near-freezing nights in Afghanistan, but the dialogue is just so, so bad.This movie exists as a vehicle to hamfistedly deliver us to cliché zombie movie moments, which are then poorly executed. The only reason so many people have heard of it is due to its exploitation of one of the most reviled men in history.Good sets, good costumes, good props, a very nice camera, and actors that I believe could have delivered if given literally anything to work with... It just breaks my heart that the makings of a great movie were in place, and the people running the show produced this tripe.

I was psyched to see this movie after watching the trailer. It looked like it was going be along the lines of horror/comedy. Something in the realm of Army of Darkness. Oh, how wrong that impression was...In the place of a fun and enjoyable movie was a 90 minute pain-fest that felt like 2 1/2 hours. Really, really bad zombie makeup. Continuity problems. A samurai sword wielding female soldier killing zombies by stabbing them through the chest or slashing across that same chest, yet it was clearly established early on that headshots are the only kill method. Sound problems (or mumbling actors, who knows).And it was obviously made by someone who doesn't know anything about military tactics or how to use military weaponry. Shooting a .50 cal sniper rifle from the hip? Really? REALLY?!?At least this movie doesn't hold the title of "Worst Zombie Movie I've Ever Seen". There's that.

Osama is not dead, he's undead! That ridiculous man returns as a zombie in a movie that should have been, by all accounts, a comedy. But no, it tries to bring "the horror" using the same old zombie film tricks. The American army can fight successfully normal armed terrorists, but it succumbs to bites to the neck when the same people are moving slowly and are unarmed.The only real horror is that I watched this film and it wasn't even remotely funny. The effects were ridiculous, the acting was good only for Osama, but he was an animatronic puppet, while the story was incredibly idiotic.Bottom line: completely boring, not even bad enough to warrant viewing for amusement. Avoid this waste of time. Have we really reached the point where we make exploitation films with terrorists that are not documentaries about 9/11 ?
