ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Scott LeBrun "Automaton Transfusion" mostly dispenses with such little things as story in this all out assault on your senses. A ferocious zombie epidemic (which does get an explanation late in the movie) occurs, and a small group of high school students flee for safety.That's pretty much all you need to know. Some horror fans may praise this blessedly brief bit of nonsense (76 minutes all told) for a breakneck pace, lots of action, the requisite onslaught of gore, and for having zombies that pursue their quarries at full speed. These elements may be more appreciated if only the whole thing weren't so derivative. There is nothing here that people haven't seen before; only unless they are die hard aficionados of zombie cinema should they even bother with this. (Even so, some viewers may be bored.)The largely stereotypical characters are mostly annoying and aren't fleshed out at all. The performances from the no name cast are no more than passable. Director / writer / editor Steven C. Miller appears on screen as a professor. The soundtrack is often overcome by hard pounding rock and metal music. The makeup effects are variable; sometimes there are good gore gags. The editing, and a camera that often refuses to stand still, merely serve to make things incoherent.If the only thing you watch zombie movies for is the flesh munching, then perhaps you'll find some value in all of this.This ends with a cliffhanger setting up a (belated) sequel.Five out of 10.

Woodyanders Several teenagers find themselves trapped in a small town that's been overrun with ferocious flesh-eating zombies. The kids are going to have to fight their way out in order to survive this harrowing ordeal. Writer/director Steven C. Miller relates the gripping story at a quick pace, generates a good deal of nerve-jangling tension, ably crafts a strong mood of pure dread, stages the action and zombie attack set pieces with savage go-for-the-throat gusto, and delivers a handy helping of in-your-face brutal violence and graphic splatter. Moreover, Miller deserves extra praise for his harsh take-no-prisoners attitude (a zombie mother attacks her own son and another zombie not only tears out a pregnant woman's baby, but also eats it as well!). The earnest acting by the game no-name cast keeps the movie humming: Garrett James as the hunky Chris, Juliet Reeves as the foxy Jackie, William Howard Bowman as the tough Scott, Rowan Bousaid as the scruffy Tim, Ashley Elizabeth Pierce as the stuck-up Simone, Joe Hebner as mean bully Lance, John Youmans as a stressed-out bartender, and Larry Miller as gruff survivalist janitor Lee. Cinematographer Jeff Dolen's use of a shaky camera gives the film a jolting immediacy and galvanizing vitality. Jamey Scott's spirited shuddery score hits the heart-racing spot. Lastly, this movie possesses a genuine sincerity and raw energy that's appealing and entertaining in equal measure while the terse 75 minute running time ensures that this picture never becomes dull or overstays its welcome. A fun fright flick.

agibaer Summary: Some teenagers and zombies. That's really all of the story. Notably the zombie virus is man-made.Review: I give this movie one extra star for actually referring to the zombies as "zombies". I think it's the first zombie movie I saw, where people have heard about zombies (dah, there's about a hundred movies about them as well as books, comics and so on) and are not wondering what wondrous creatures these might be. Thank you! Other than that, the flick is crap, except it has definitely the highest gore level I've seen in a zombie movie so far. Even Dexter would faint at the sight of so much blood (as he is known to have before).Highlight: Intelligent ZombiesNotable Actors: Actors?Gore Level: 5/5

ctaylor661 Unlike what another reviewer says, it does make a difference to me that this was shot on a low budget. I agree the story wasn't so great but quite frankly there isn't a lot more they can do with zombie films. It's a tired genre. The gore and killings were all well handled. I really didn't have a problem with the acting either. Thought the lead actor did a good job (and was hot as hell). No ones acting was bad enough that I actually stopped to thing "thats some bad acting." The ending actually kind of made me laugh. This is a "B" movie and makes no aspirations to be anything else. Bottom line, if you like independent horror movies and aren't done to death with the zombie genre give it a shot.
