Zombex
ZOMBEX tells the story of a post-Katrina New Orleans as it deals with a new disaster, a zombie apocalypse. NOLA residents are no longer experiencing the depression and post-traumatic stress due to the trauma of the hurricane, thanks to the revolutionary ZOMBEX - a rogue, yet, "clinically-proven" anti-depressant pharmaceutical manufactured by a nefarious organization. For those who call the Big Easy their home, everything is just now turning around for them. Or, could it just be the drug, ZOMBEX, talking... Just as things are turning around for the city and its people, they once again must face a disaster of epic proportions. Only this time, they're dealing with the prospect of losing the people of New Orleans as they turn into the city's walking dead.

Thanks for the memories!
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I love horror movies, I have always loved them even as a tender little girl I fell in love with the monster of Frankenstein. Zombies are my deepest loves for they are the true mirror reflection of our selves as we bring on the apocalypse. So Zombex, with its noble cast of characters, could be so enriching and fun for the world to see. I watched with my husband for "date nite" and boy were we surprised! We sat eyes wide open and sometimes shut (with hand holding head as increduleousness swept through our minds, forcing us to shake our heads to deliver ourselves from the fumagting toxic fog of the osurdity emanating from the television). One scene is cropped so that you cannot see the main actors (of interest) speaking in the backgrownd. The scenes seem to be inspired from moment to moment and one wonders if there is an actual scipt somewhere in the woods. As reference for general understanding of perspectives, this is one to be watched.
I don't know the technical movie terms, but I had to comment that this director had a passion for what he was creating here... LOL... He just should have finished his 101 class first.Okay, the good parts... Sid Haig, Malcolm McDowell, and pretty boy David Christopher... AND the editing, in my opinion, was innovative... okay, maybe not innovative, but as I said in the title... it has feeling...The story, like any good B movie, is long, over-done, and drawn out... BUT... with a good buzz, you will have a good time! I appreciate the bold contempt against pharmaceutical companies and I think Sid playing a military leader was pure IRONY and deliberate. Thank you Mr. Dayton for having a great sense of humor.If you're anything like me, you don't really care about reviews in regard to likability; you like what you like. I liked the fact that I can appreciate an attempt at a 'tongue in cheek' message...
What a shame. To actually have the gall to present this 'film' to a viewing audience. The democratization of filmmaking is just presenting more and more people that have absolutely no idea to the proper structure of narrative storytelling. This film looks like the editor plopped all the footage into a blender and hit 'high'. Nothing makes sense and I didn't have a clue as to who anyone was or what was going on. I realize that filmmakers like to be innovative and that to me is very welcomed as a viewer, but the narrative structure has to be coherent. If you don't have decent structure and very well defined characters all you'll have is, well this 'movie'. It's very clear from this presentation that the director, writer, cinematographer, and editor had no idea what they were doing. Projects like this are killing horror films.Total trashology. Don't waste any more of your time even reading this review.
1st of all, zombie films are a dime a dozen. We all know it. So I went into this thinking it was going to provide all the stereotypical "zombie" movie traits and it did do some of those, but it also landed in a few places that surprised me. Malcolm McDowell is good in it but he's generally good in everything he does, so no big surprise there. Sid Haig, Corey Feldman and Tom Araya aren't in the film as much as I wanted them to be but they do punch the film up in places where it needs it. The thing I liked the best about Zombex though was actor Lew Temple. Lew played Axl from last seasons Walking Dead. He's hilarious in the film. Has a real southern twang and pushes every scene he's in. I don't think the film would have been good at all with out Temple. He's a force and he gets to deliver the goods in Zombex. The action is OK, but the big kill towards the end is pretty mind blowing. Shocking the film maker got away with that gnarly of a kill. The girls in the film reminded me of Russ Myers chicks. Lot's of ass kicking and even a hot sex scene that not what you'd think. I thought the film was a hell of a fun ride. Check out Zombex!
