The route leads the transport through Pančevo, where they encounter an ecological disaster and infected people who are trying to kill them. Interpol agents Mortimer Reyes and Mina Milius soon realize that their only chance for escape from the zombie hordes lies in allying with the dangerous, mysterious prisoner.

Someone thought they were being oh-so clever when they cast Dawn of the Dead star Ken Foree in this zombie film and then had him reference his role in the Romero classic, when in reality this is one of the most embarrassingly trite things to do in a modern zombie film (along with calling a character Savini, which they also do here!).In fact, there is absolutely nothing innovative or clever about this sorry affair that trots out all the expected zombie movie clichés—which might not have been quite so bad if the film hadn't been performed by a bunch of untalented Serbians struggling with the English language and directed by a pair of horror rookies who clearly think that an excess of shaky cam makes a zombie attack more scary (and who also have their undead roaring like wild animals just to be sure) .Some reasonable make-up/gore effects prevent the film from being a complete waste of time, and a few unintentional laughs can be had from an out-of-shape Foree as he attempts to outrun the undead (even the slow ones—this film features zombies of all speeds) and struggles to squeeze his gut through the window of a railway carriage.3.5 out of 10, generously rounded up to 4 for the blood 'n' guts.

This one is another zombie flick from a non-Hollywood production. In the passed years we have seen so many movies based on the contamination-turns- men-to-zombies from around the world (even Thailand). To be honest, this particular movie could have been much better 'cause the atmosphere is good and creepy, the zombies are greatly done and the action is OK. But all this package is ruined by the poor (to non-existent) performance of the actors/actresses and the bad -not to say crap- lines. BUT -yes there is a BUT here- if you're a fan of those bloodthirsty creatures called zombies, walkers etc and you love to see shooting, chopping and all the relevant stuff these movies produce and provide, you can gather some friends, make some popcorn, watch it and then, turn off your DVD and just forget about it.

I'm home alone, out of things to do. Movie as a great way to pass time. Seeing I'm very limited on option, I've decided to NOT watch the movie and twiddle my thumb than torture myself with this piece of abomination.I can understand low budget, could determine the popularity of the movie. But I've watched quite a few VERY low budget movies, and I've actually bear to watch to the end, enjoyed it even. But this movie is so bad, it's so terribad that I couldn't find a hip enough term to describe how horrible this is.The acting. Honestly, are the actors not chosen before filming? It's as if they were just picked off off the streets and brought them into casting. Their facial expression is totally wrong, out of place, their body language is absolutely...Well, the actors are "derping" almost through out the entire film. Yes, you do need professional training to be some great quality actors/actress. But you do not need such to be good enough to impress, for example*****Minor Spoiler****: the stance on holding a firearm. The protagonist is a 20year CIA agent, yet he does not know how to hold a pistol and flashlight together.The camera. It shakes so very often on purpose it literally gave me a headache. I do not know what it is trying to achieve by filming the movie on a roller coaster, heck! To exaggerate, even filming on roller coaster is better than this.The dialog. It is just so horrible that I mentally wanted to rip my hair off. I believe the cast are well over age of 25, yet their dialog sounded more dull, stupid, untrained than a 13years old.All in all, I know the definition of like and dislike is pure personal opinion. And I myself can accept a large varieties of opinions quite well. But honest to God, I could not comprehend how any sane human being can rate this movie past 4 stars; And 4 stars is a very generous score for this abomination.Save yourself some time, some bandwidth, some money, some pain. Just go search for a better zombie title.

This movie is a waste of your time. The acting was horrible; the effects were bad (even with the proper lighting) and the plot just lacked and lacked and lacked....and i enjoy a decent zombie flick from time to time; but this was terrible. A few little peaks of mechanical effects, but that is all!! I've seen worse, but not much worse. This movie is overcome by characters who are not only uninteresting and annoying, but appear to be movie extras on an audition tape. I felt the storyline could have been reworked, but everything begged replacement - from the actors to the special effects. This film would favor better as a spoof than a horror flick.
