The plot interest in this is that its set on Alcatraz. Apart from that nothing stands out, except that its surprising Levar Burton took this gig. Nothing really stands out as noteworthy or worth remembering.

There have been bad zombie movies and terrible zombie movies. And there have been bad zombie movies that know they're bad but they have a lot of tongue-in-cheek type jokes that brings them some level of redemption.This movie is worse than bad and has no redeeming qualities. The acting is terrible and surprisingly, the makeup is much worse. It's as if they made this movie with no makeup or FX budget to speak of. Many time they sacrifice the acting budget for the makeup/FX budget but this one sacrificed everything for nothing worth while. A 1970's zombie movie made in someones pot smoke filled basement with an ancient 8mm movie camera is better than this drivel.LeVar Burton's performance is a let down and Danny Trejo's is even worse. Mariel Hemingway decided to leave her acting chops at home as well. There is nothing convincing or that takes your mind off of how bad this movie really is. Some zombie movies give you a chuckle and some just leave you flat but this on leaves you in a trench and then covers you with dirt.

Shocker of shockers, this is a piece of crap. I know this news will startle many of you. How could this possibly go wrong, you say? A cheaply produced zombie flick with bad special effects and a cast of has-beens and never-weres? It has classic written all over it. Yet somehow this master formula fails. It would be easy for me to blame the movie's failure completely on the Hollywood Squares cast led by Mariel Hemingway (who, no joke, I thought was deceased) and the now-elderly and overweight Danny Trejo. But the cast is only a symptom of a much larger disease: namely The Asylum, the absolute worst production company in the industry today. Possibly worst ever. They make all that terrible SyFy channel garbage we all watch and hate. It's become popular in recent years to bestow some "so bad it's good" badge upon these movies. That's unfortunate because it just encourages more subpar waste like this is produced. This movie sucks. Don't watch it.

I must say I was somewhat impressed by this little zombie movie. I was a bit hesitant about it being SyFy produced and all, but I'm glad i saw it. It's not a classic in any way but nice group of actors in it.The Butch-like manly Mariel Hemingway as Dr. Lynn Snyder was a disappointment. She seems not to be a good actor. At least in this film. her lines seemed forced and somewhat off delivered. She seems to have that 'Butch-like Lesbian thing going on so in a way she seemed natural as a scientist turned soldier thing.Big & funny intense Ethan Suplee as Marshall was somewhat miscast. he seems to large body-wise to be this religious/military guy who is 'falling' for Lynn. They have no chemistry whatsoever.The always great LeVar Burton as Dr. Dan Halpern was a treat. Made me think how he would have handle the Will Smith role in "I Am Legend". He did a good job here.Mr. Bad Ass himself, Danny Trejo as Captain Caspian did pretty good too. He even got to play a zombie! The beautiful Heather Hemmens as Ashley. Did an okay job. What I really liked was that for the 1st time I can remember a character in a zombie film just says "forget it it's not worth living anymore" and just commits suicide.The funny French Stewart as Dr. Arnold. His video feeds with the chimpanzee are the only humorous bits in the film!The serious Chad Lindberg as Kyle. He did okay also. i liked his scenes where he hated to kill his friend Trejo's Caspain but had to do it because Caspian was a zombie coming for him and when he gets to the so-called rescue Center in Petaluma by himself and discovers it's gone and taken over by the zombies.
