This is the weakest of JR Bookwalter's films because it strays from his style of fast, humorous action scenes. Bookwalter tries something more ambitious, moody and suspenseful and he fails. But its still typically watchable in its cheesiness. This is more drab looking and boring than his other films though. There are scenes where the black leading man is locked in cages, forced into a Mandingo fight and a zombie sniffs him and says, "You smell like a brother...". It might be a string of racist jokes or JR made a film thats a metaphor for smalltown racism. So Bookwalter tries to be artsier here and its appreciated, but he forgot to make it entertaining as he was NEVER scary or thoughtful director.

Ozone is the name of a new highly addictive street drug that is often fatal for bums and junkies.Detectives Eddie Boone and Mike Weitz are hot on the trail of drug lord Sam DeBartolo,who's behind the trafficking of Ozone.While running down a connection Weitz is attacked by zombies and disappears and Boone is injected with the drug.He slowly starts to mutate into zombie.I enjoyed "Ozone" due to its pretty high gore level.The main performance of James Black is quite solid and the digital effects are surprisingly effective.The pace of the film moves swiftly and there is plenty of gore on display.Considering the budget of "Ozone" I was impressed with this small indie production.I still haven't seen "The Dead Next Door",but I'd like to someday.7 out of 10.

I'm not going to say that all movies made on video are crap just because they have little or no budget! No! But rarely, rarely have I seen one worth squat and this is one of them. Filmwork-Bad. Screenplay-Bad. Acting-non-existent. SFX- worse that The Incredible Shrinking Man. Bookhalter or Bookwalter should at least take a few classes at a community college, or read a book before he ever attempts to make another film, if he hasn't done humanity a favor and stopped already! Go rent out Invisible Invaders or The Giant Behemoth or the Brain from Planet Arous and have a good time. Don't watch this! You've been warned.

Ozone. Yep, it really is hard to discuss this movie. It is pretty bad, I have seen much worse and I really had fun laughing at it. The film looks like they used a video camera(I really think they did), during a fight the poorly designed prop weapons are switched with ones made of aluminum foil and the silly monster in it is oh so bad. I actually rushed over to my friends house to enjoy this masterpiece of horrible artistic beauty. I don't regret the film and I think you should give it a try if you enjoy really, really, really, really cheesy/poorly made films like me.
