A diverse group of travelers during the zombie apocalypse come across a school and decide to bed down. Their leader is missing a foot and is cared for by a criminal in an orange jump suit. We discover the reason for the group's diversity was that they were at a compound and opted to leave the "retards" behind. While at the school, they discover the zombies are turning back to cured people...only to be killed and eaten again. This anomaly provides curiosity that needs further investigation and the reason for the outbreak is also revealed.The first part of the film is light and humorous. This is replaced by dark humor with religious overtones, although I would argue the characters provided that overtone themselves based on their beliefs and it was not the intended theme of the film. I liked the first half better than the last half.Guide: F-word. Brief sex. No nudity.
... View MoreWhen I first started the movie, the scenes started with a bit of shooter perspective games so I thought I was in for that type of movie (which I'm not real keen on). It quickly moved along to the opening credits along with cheesy animated still cartoons. If it didn't get any better the movie would be scrapped fairly soon. The movie starts with the main characters - and from the get go there's some laughs. There's really not much of a story other than a group of survivors trying to get to a destination, while dragging a prisoner (who happens to be the doctor responsible for the catastrophe). Along the way they shoot, bludgeon and stab zombies until they get to an ex-refuge that happens to contain said Messiah zombie who can bring Zombies back to life. While not the best zombie flick I've seen, it was watchable up to about 60 min, then really lost the plot. Most likely because the Scottish Sargent providing the humor exits himself. The acting isn't great, but that's half the humor for me. It's got some nice slice and dice, pretty decent zombie makeup and quite a bit of humor. Although I liked it, this ones a renter as you'd only watch it once. If you liked Cockney's Vs Zombies you'd like this.
... View MoreI purchased this movie from Amazon, where it had a three out of five star rating, so I thought that I would be in for some adequate entertainment. However, I had not noticed the bottom-scraping rating that the movie had managed to score here on IMDb. And I did check IMDb just prior to sitting down to watch the movie. Which shattered my hopes of watching anything worthwhile.I managed to get 45 minutes into "Zombie Resurrection" before I had to give up out of sheer and utter boredom. This movie had nothing of a storyline that could take hold and instill any kind of interest. As such, then my focus was fast dwindling.There were some nice enough zombie make-up and effects to be seen here and there. But it was all drowned out in an overwhelming flood of poorly written storyline, scripted execution and less than mediocre acting performances.There was a single performance in "Zombie Resurrection" which stood out from the other, and that was the performance of Jim Sweeney (playing Mac).Anything even remotely zombie and I am there. But many a times do I end up with a disappointment, as many of the zombie movies are stinkers; pardon the pun.As such, then I have no intention of returning to finish "Zombie Resurrection", because it just lacked conviction and entertainment value.
... View MoreI expected this to be a very low budget production, with nothing to show but a weak poster and the most typical of horror movies subject today: zombies!Strangely enough, this isn't a horror but a black comedy, at least for better than half you do giggle a lot as the script is funny to be honest. Did not expect that, came in as a nice surprise. And as the movie progresses you do get to see a little zombie action too, not too gory, not too deadly, overall, the usual I guess. So I won't go bashing this one, as I initially expected but am gonna rate it as a nice surprise, nothing to recommend but I for one am glad I got to put my eyes on it. I've seen worse, a lot worse, thus, I can only appreciate it to its normal value. You do have to consider the budget firstly, the genre, the location and at the end of the analysis I think "Zombie Resurrection" is just an OK movie!Cheers!
