Expected more

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I have never wished more that i had watched a trailer or read a review before watching this film. This is the masterclass in what not to do when making a film. 1. Give actors absolutely no character or comprehensible script...instead tell them just to shout things that sound like words repeatedly and discuss the philosophical points of zombies and ghosts...2.Make sure the camera never focuses, frames or shows what it is that is trying to be shown. Also don't drop the sound mic throughout an entire zombie apocalypse...3 Whatever you do, don't have a plot, a plan or a sense of a beginning, middle or an end... 4 Loosely attempt to criticize the government using two dimensional characters.5. wait i just remembered that the band in the beginning were actually very good! if only they did a soundtrack for the film... Quite frankly no film has ever inspired me to write a review but this one i felt it my civic duty to warn people not to watch. do not waste the time you will never get it back!

I picked up this DVD at a local library. The jacket cover mentioned Youngstown, Ohio, and as I am from there, I wanted to see if it was indeed filmed in Youngstown. As it turns out it was, showing several localities I recognized. Unfortunately, there was no plot, the dialogue was not scripted, and scenes appeared to be randomly pieced together. On the plus side there were a few funny moments, including zombies being more interested in getting into a pizza place than attacking those outside (maybe they wanted a pie), the "kids" telling the Zombinator that he looked like the Terminator, and the "kids" telling those filming to stop filming (if only they had listened). Unfortunately, a few funny moments do not make a movie. I was surprised that something this bad was even released. It probably would have been more interesting if I had filmed myself painting my house. Maybe the producers thought they could sell the DVD to the cast members and their families.

Oh, goody! Just what the horror genre needs: Yet another hackneyed zombie opus done with a tired pseudo-documentary "found footage" angle ala Cloverfield and The Blair Witch Project. Well, this one strikes out something rotten in every possible way: Flat and sloppy (non)direction by Sergio Myers, zero tension or creepy atmosphere, cruddy and unconvincing CGI blood, annoying wafer-thin characters who spend way too much screen time yelling at and bickering with each other, a tediously drawn-out build-up, monotonous profanity-ridden dialogue, nausea-inducing hand-held shaky-cam nonsense, poor acting from a lame no-name cast, a trite government conspiracy subplot (yep, the government's behind the zombie outbreak), a forgettable score, and, worst of all, the pathetic wannabe cool and macho titular leather coat-clad zombie butt-stomper (a hopelessly wooden third-rate Big Arn impression by Joseph Aviel). Token name thespian Patrick Kilpatrick tries hard as an evil colonel, but he's unfortunately fighting a game, but vain uphill battle that he just ain't gonna win. To add further abject insult to already appalling injury, the use of multiple camera set-ups and different camera angles totally undermines the credibility of the whole faux documentary aspect of this turkey. Reportedly shot in a mere four and a half days without a script, this one's the absolute pits.

This had a 7.5 rating so being a fan of the zombie genre I decided to rent it. This was possibly the worst decision I ever made. The zombies are slow and not even scary, the cast are so irritating I find myself rooting for the zombies. The dialogue is ludicrous and the actors just scream and shout over each other. This is possibly the worst zombie film I have ever witnessed. Also it's filmed in that camcorder style and also in semi darkness. You would think that would add an edge to the whole endeavour but it doesn't, it just makes you wonder what the hell is going on all the time. My advice: don't bother with this garbage.
