When I purchased this movie from the Amazon market place, I had no idea that it was going to be one of those abysmal movies by The Asylum. And you know that as soon as you see their logo, that it is going to be one of those movies......and "Zoombies" was just exactly that. Don't get your hopes up, that way you will not be disappointed with this less than mediocre attempt at a foray in to a hitherto relatively unexplored zone of the zombie genre. Zombies and zoo animals, sure, why not?It might have worked out well enough on paper, but transferred to the screen, not so much. Well, it might actually have worked out well enough with some proper special effects and CGI. But no, that was not the case here. They were left with some questionable and shoddy CGI attempts at making zombified zoo animals, which mostly turned out to appear more like something you'd find in a "5 Nights at Freddies" game.The storyline was as simple and generic as they come. Actually to the point where it was just blatantly taking ideas from "Jurassic Park" at times. But it didn't help the movie one bit that the storyline and script was so inept and so poor. And it didn't really help to promote the movie either that the storyline was so predictable that you knew what would happen a mile away.As for the acting, well, let's just say that you know what you are getting with a movie such as this, and that way you don't get your hopes up for anything grand. But on a personal note, then I will say that I found the acting to be as rigid and unappealing as the characters were generic and one-dimensional.I was suckered in by a fairly interesting DVD movie cover. But, of course, you can't judge a movie by it's cover alone, for most of the times."Zoombies" was a foray into the zombie genre that attempted something new but failed most horribly. And as such, then it is a movie that you watch once, if you even get through the entire movie the first time. Trust me, you will not be watching "Zoombies" as second time around.These poorly animated zombified animals score a meager 4 out of 10 stars from me.

I love bad movies and The Asylum makes some of the worst, just look at the Sharknado saga and the Z-Nation television series, which are both awesome.Unfortunately, this film doesn't have the same coolness to it. It should have because the story is sound. Due to a couple of infected monkeys, the whole of a new zoo is infected with a virus that kills the diseased then reanimates them in a killing frenzy. However, it's the acting and directing that make this film poor, luckily the tongue-in- cheek style of this film keeps it from failing.Most of the acting is wooden, with the exception of Kim Neilsen who plays Dr Ellen Rodgers and LaLa Nester, as her daughter Thea, who is actually the best actress on the set. The award for the best hammed-up over-acting award goes to Brianna Joy Chomer who turns Amber into a maniacal, self-centred hothead. This character is so way over the top it's as annoying as hell and helps to spoil the movie.It's a low budget affair so you expect the special effects to be poor, but on the whole, the CGI is passable I especially liked the attacking giraffes. Though in the same scene the director holds too long on the cutaways of the actors who are being attacked and because there are no Giraffe's in the scene it makes the entire scene implausible. Since I like bad movies, I loved the man in the gorilla suit. Sweet.If the acting were better and the direction tighter then this would have been a more enjoyable and pleasing movie.If you love B-movie films and The Asylum then this is worth a watch, though not more than once.

Preparing the new interns at the zoo, a woman realizes that the escaped monkeys running wild in the park are infected with a virus which turns the animals into ravenous bloodthirsty creatures and must find a way to save the remaining staff and uninfected animals.This here was a decent if still rather flawed effort. The main part that really works here with this one is the film's rather nice amount of action that runs through here as this one has a large amount of encounters with all the different animals. From the opening in the vet clinic where the monkeys go wild and attack the doctors in a pretty cheesy encounter, there's a great pace throughout here with the later scenes in the different pens as the animals start going wild which is the start of the fun as the scenes of the group out in the warthog pens being menaced by the giraffes and the fine encounter with the monkeys where they attack the group by jumping on them from above and scratching them up is all quite cheesy and enjoyable scenes with the animals on the loose running wild. There's even more good fun to come from the scenes of the animals hunting the SWAT team that tries to save them or the great scene of the gorilla hunting them in the control room before stalking the escaped members into it's habitat close-by which is one of the more chilling scenes here with the way the creature stalks them through the area which are all so much fun here and set up the grand finale. Taking the action into higher realms with the assault on the bird sanctuary and showing the great action within this as it has the scenes of what's happening inside the facility and the way they counteract the birds' attacks as well as the final attack on the facility makes for a big finish here that's quite exciting and really gives this a great, frenetic pace without too much dull spots. The other big positive here is the fact that there's a great deal to like with the constant threat of the creatures getting loose and running wild outside the park which is a very tangible and proper threat that has plenty to really like about it through this rather realistic tone. These here make this one enjoyable enough to hold off the rather minor flaws here. The biggest issue is the usually appalling CGI frequented here which is used for the animals and really gives their scenes quite a distracting nature as there's clearly nothing about the animals interacting with the cast during these scenes. The only other flaw to this one is the film's inability to explain the source of the virus that's infecting everyone as this one really could've made some sense about what happened and how it got to the zoo. Otherwise, there's not a lot wrong about this one.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, children-in-jeopardy and violence-against-animals.
