Following a worldwide zombie epidemic, a small band of survivors that fight back against the creatures manage to free a group of women being used as breeding fodder but are taken back to their compound, and learning of their capabilities launch a full-on assault to destroy the zombies.There was some really good stuff to this one. One of the greatest aspects of this one is the film's incredibly interesting and original story which is insanely clever and actually believable. This is mostly brought about by the concept of the zombie's farm since it's portrayed as not coming from them but are conditioned to accept it, which is a new touch and figures to include some new elements into the film based on its sheer integration. The scenes showing the early workings of the facility are great fun, where the zombies' lives are shown in different levels of interaction and a social order is clearly established. That it's done in the middle of a war is really great as it allows for a spectacular series of scenes that carry on the action from the beginning. The big shootout which takes place in the fields is really good, the big battle at the campground is pretty exciting and manages to get really chaotic in what's going on and a great series of encounters in the woods around the camp as they come up with their rescue plans that makes it all the better. There's also the big scenes at the compound which is where it gets really enjoyable, with the first escape attempt making for a rather enjoyable sequence, while the big assault is a lot of fun mixing in everything from gore to action to a little bit of humor as well. These, mixed with a really nice amount of gore and really nice looking zombies with a ton of scars and facial wounds and even missing or burnt away skin create impressive-looking creatures, make for a highly enjoyable effort. There wasn't a whole lot of stuff wrong with this one. One of the biggest flaws is the films' few storyline instances that don't make a lot of sense. Despite being told that the camp was a rehabilitation effort, nothing is shown of teaching the captives anything, and the only one that has any sort of contact is the one who has a name. When the place is attacked and the captives are taken out for protection, they are said to escape and no one goes after them, despite being told tons of times about the importance of keeping them away from the zombies. Another one is the revelation at the very end about what kind of compound it actually is, which is a missed opportunity and really should've been told earlier. The only other part that becomes much of a flaw is the apparent shying away from using a lot of variety with its gore. Most of the blood tends to come from head- shots of varying degrees of blood-splatter, which isn't all that unique or impressive. Usually, the genre tends to come up with a few inventive gags with each entry, but this one doesn't do that and doesn't tend to give a lot of options. As it also rips off a famous ending from another film with it's ending here being another minor problem, these here are all that's really wrong with the film.Rated UR/R: Graphic Violence and Language.

Fifty years after the zombie apocalypse, humans exist either in zombie run slave camps or in small bands of militarized, nomadic tribes. Two brothers, Brian & David, rescue a group of attractive women slaves from the zombies but the zombies retaliate and David is captured. As David plans his escape he learns some disturbing secrets behind the zombie camps. Yes, the acting and directing are bad; and yes, the makeup is inconsistent. But I've seen a lot of bad zombie movies and this is far from the worst. Many of the actors are charismatic and are obviously having fun in their roles. The plot has some holes and there are a few silly parts but it does make sense if you pay attention. If you have any tolerance or love for B movies, especially B - Z movies then you could do a lot worse.

Blue Martian is obviously easy to please. This movie is definitely one of the worst movies ever! Zombie or otherwise. Just how exactly do you let something as slow as a zombie get the jump on you in broad daylight?In this movie it happens time and again to men who are supposedly veterans of an on going zombie war.Also their camp is not in any way fortified. You'd think they would at least set up a semi-sturdy wooden fence.The zombie camp was more intelligently laid out. Keep in mind this war has been raging for 50 years! The humans still have plenty of guns and ammo. That means they had plenty at the beginning of the war.Why the hell couldn't they finish the job in the first six months? This movie relies solely on the "Rule of Idiots" (without the idiots you wouldn't have a movie). Clearly without the idiots this movie wouldn't get through the opening credits.

I have an ongoing argument with my friend about the genesis of this movie and my take is completely separate from the norms of an average movie goer or audience member. My perception is that the director/writer knows that these movies are ridiculously bad and finds solace in the humor of that. I believe it is intentional why others believe these people actually believe they are making real movies. My idea is that the director convinces soap stars and wannabe actors that this is a serious attempt at film-making, but that his true motivations are to make these B-comedies. It totally pokes fun at the limitations and lack of funds for these movies by making incredulous heartfelt scenes mixed with insanely farcical plot that renders all disbelief moot because it takes us where only the most retarded minds can go. They reuse locations and even actors for multiple scenes. They create mythology and accepted realities to generate absurd systems of norms as if their world works according to these extravagantly wedged axioms. I was completely blown away by bit after bit. I love this movie, and I think the best critics in the world could unravel by just drinking the koolaid this film presents. Either way, if you take it seriously or not, this movie owns in absurdity alone.
