Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I am surprised to see the score for this film is relatively low. Granted, it is not as good as other zombie/comedy films such as 'Dead Alive' or the all time great 'Shaun of the Dead', but it is a lot better than most of the tripe put out the last four or five years since 'The Walking Dead' has become all the rage. Not slamming it or any other more well known zombie films, I am referring more to the thousands of zombie films that have gone direct to DVD or are made by the SyFy channel. Is the film perfect? Absolutely not as there are so many plot holes and inconsistencies it is insane, but at the same time, I do not think a film that has a guy completely naked at one point and pulling guns out of nowhere the next is a film that one should take too seriously either.The story has a relatively small town being bombarded with meteors that quickly transform most of the population into bloodthirsty zombies. You get to meet some of the town's population at first, but it does go by quickly as soon the town's local beauty queen finds herself besieged by hordes of the undead. A man rescues her and she soon finds herself at this person's house trying to hide out with other survivors. Soon they have to try to make it to the local hospital as one of the survivors is pregnant. As they try to escape they soon come across a huge wall encompassing the entire town and it quickly becomes apparent that there is more going on than a simple zombie outbreak.I thought the film did do a good job for the most part as it flowed pretty quickly. The one guy did look exactly like Torgo from 'Manos: The Hands of Fate' albeit with better knees, and I have to wonder if that was done purposely or not. The other characters do a fairly good job, but once again this is not as good as Shaun of the Dead as the acting is much better in that particular film. Another problem with the film is that it lags on a bit too much at the end. It proceeds so quickly for the most part then it just kind of takes forever for the film to finish as there is a lot of staring going on. They could have easily trimmed the film 5 or 10 minutes and kept the quicker pace. Still, it was a spot of fun and I loved all the gun stuff with the one character who looked like Torgo. I wish more of the film had been focused on him as he exits the film in confusing fashion at one point as suddenly he is on the ground and it is not apparent how this happened.So, I enjoyed this film a good deal. Still think there are numerous zombie films with comedy that are better, but I still think this one is better than a lot of the newer stuff released recently. It is fast paced for the most part, but does kind of lag near the end. The gore is pretty decent, never getting as gory as say 'Dead Alive', but with enough to keep things messy. A few twists here and there keep the film interesting too as this is not your typical zombie outbreak. Still, it is so strange how much that guy looked like Torgo, only he was not a servant of the master, but rather a mentor!

I have seen dozens of horror movies in the past; Zombies and other sorts of dead people walking, dead people eating others, etc.However, only yesterday (August 23, 2012) I watched this movie (i.e. Undead) on TV for the first time, although it was produced and released in 2003, but honestly I found it very silly and weak in all aspects.The story is flimsy, where you feel that a number of different scenes were glued together, without any reasonable connections, and the performance of most - if not all - characters is hackneyed and not convincing.Probably my words are a bit harsh, nevertheless it's true!But by the end, it's a personal opinion and nothing is personal :-)

If you are a fan of zombie films, "Undead" is a true gem. It's got everything you want from the zombie genre, and some new ingredients that makes it a notch above most. The acting is decent and the plot is full of spielberg-like magic and wonder. The special effects are wonderfully orchestrated for a low budget film....the best I've seen in a long time. The comedy is laugh-out-loud funny and the bad-ass character truly acts, looks, and fights like a bad-ass. "Undead" has a surreal quality to it that is unmatched in the zombie genre. I'm surprised at the low ratings here on IMDb. This is easily in the top 10 best zombie movies ever made and should not be overlooked by fans of the genre. 8/10

I remember watching this at DBD a couple of years ago and was surprised that it did not get a cinema release in GB. So I was really looking forward to watching this again. First of all the paranoia has been lost as this is the second time I have seen it. Also I did not like the comedy elements so much this time.The story. Strange meteorites strike the earth, turning people in brain eating zombies. In the typical zombie scenario it is a bunch of misfits against the zombies.I felt that this story had more in common with Return of the living Dead than Romero's classic trilogy. The effects are great as is the acting. I thought the music was terrible and in places the movie really got lost. It could not make up its mind, a zombie movie or a farce? Still it was better and made more sense than the remake of dawn of the dead. Also the acid rain scene was fantastic, plus it was a good idea to get the girls naked!! 7/10
