When the world is in shambles, plagued by a zombie outbreak, only the strong will survive, but just how much determination will it take? Will Luke and his crew have enough ambition and ammunition to stay alive long enough to save the human race?

I'm a huge fan of Zombie movies. Zombies was brutally bad. I was only able to get through 25 minutes of the movie before having to turn it off. It was a waste of time and money.The worst part was the script. It's what you would expect if a 2nd grader wrote a zombie movie. The script was very predictable and cheesy. None of the cast was very convincing. It felt like acting from a local play.I've seen higher quality videos and production with an iPhone. The video and makeup quality were lacking. Needless to say, it seems like they were on a very tight budget.Bottom line...Save your money and find another film to watch.

If you're looking for a good zombie movie stay away from this awful film. If there was a script (which I doubt) I assume there was no money in the budget for a script supervisor to monitor continuity. The inconsistencies and time line mistakes drove me crazy. If there was there was a script, I hope the author never writes again. The acting was some of the worst I've ever seen.Zombies is almost completely lacking in anything original or creative. Even the name is lazy. There's one scene that I have to give some credit for and that was the one involving a combine. It was the one interesting minute in the whole movie and it was, literally, a minute.If you're looking for a movie full of unintentional hilarity...this is the one for you! I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in years. It may end up a cult classic as one of those "so ridiculously stupid it's funny" movies. My suggestion is to wait for it to come on SyFy or Netflix and turn it on when you need a good laugh.

What was George Romero's son thinking when he decided to produce this film? The movie was just eh. Definitely have seen a lot worse. Don't expect this to be like The Walking Dead or even George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. I was very excited to see Tony Todd in this. Even him couldn't save the film. The acting was not great at all. The lead actor and the villain was just terrible to look at. Tony Todd was the only decent one. They should have recast the whole thing. As far as the action and the gore goes, they should have cast actors that can actually fight or hire doubles. Or even have the actors go through extensive fight training, like Keanu Reeves in John Wick. You can totally tell the actors in this had no fighting background. They couldn't even hurt a fly if they tried. The people who played the zombies that dies help cover up the lead's fighting and the acting skills. All the zombies that died were a lot better actors than the leads like the zombies in the cornfield, the zombie that fell down the stairs "OUCH!", the zombie that went through the windshield "OUCH!", the tomahawk to the head zombie also "OUCH!", and most of all the combine scene was actually a nice touch. It's like they hired amateur/first time actors but hired professional I'm guessing stunt people. I'm assuming those were real stunt people, right? So, kudos to them! The camera work was decent. The set design was pretty damn good for the budget they had on this. The music however was a bit corny and unfitting to the film. The production could have used more of the money and brought on a composer that knows how to score this kind of genre. Don't expect John Williams or Hans Zimmer style of music or even like Halloween's John Carpenter. The directing in this felt a bit rushed. It's like they filmed this in like 2-3 weeks or something and did everything in like 1-2 takes. For a budget in the million, they could have spent more money on filming. Where did the money go? I'd wait until it comes out on Netflix or something.

This really is the tic-tak-toe of the zombie movie board game arena. It's really Syfy channel standard stuff... well actually its not quite that level and really needs to go up a notch to achieve that acclaim. The major failing here is the script which is corny, stilted and hackneyed. Even Tony Todd can't deliver the lines convincingly and struggles with the dialogue throughout, as does everyone else. I wonder what must have been going through his head while he was performing this one.The plot is almost as bad, and I've no idea what some of the angles are trying to achieve. Generally zombie apocalypse type stories aren't too complicated. The world goes to crap and survivors pick their way through the mess that's left. Some productions deal with this very well and typically there is a breakdown in social order as anarchy through lawlessness prevails. It is tackled here but very poorly and the violence and gore can't compensate for the failing plot.The acting is real low level amateurish standard your more likely to find in home production, though in fairness with such a poor script, I can't wholly blame the actors for an inability to convey their roles successfully. The special effects are real low budget and there is never any real sense of dread or danger from any of the reanimated corpses shuffling lazily around the rather limited settings.The Walking Dead really has done a great job of reviving the Zombie genre, and the producers can be forgiven for wanting to capitalise on that popularity, but this isn't an new perspective, and interesting depiction or even a well executed rendition of a theme that has been well and truly exhausted. This is just another below average production of a horror genre that isn't really worth the time it takes to sit and watch.This one isn't worth the watch your better off seeing one of the older films again for a more satisfying zombie experience.
