Details

A mysterious disease overtakes the world, and the infected develop a hankering for human flesh. Jim and his fellow Cheapskate Car Rental clerks are oblivious to the changes going on right outside their door, until it literally gets right in their faces. Jim struggles with disgruntled customers, hordes of cannibals, the barely legal April, his certifiable ex-girlfriend Vix (the sexy "Terminatrix"), reconciling issues with his brother, an aversion to guns, and the "pants thing." Can Jim pull it together and rally Louisville's remaining bike gangs and defeat the infected hordes? Maybe with the help of 1000 rounds a minute minigun...

GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Elijah_Chandler Let's get some things out of the way: I was born, and spent a lot of my youth, in Louisville, Kentucky and it was very cool to see a movie shot there (last one I can think of was STRIPES). Also, I LOVE Zombie Flicks. See how I capitalized Zombie Flick? Look, I did it again! I'm also a fledgling movie producer of really dumb short films, and not half bad industrial films. (http://www.youtube.com/elcheapofilms) On to my review... I tried, tried, TRIED to like this movie but I couldn't. The lighting was bad, the plot was shaky at best, and the acting... oh the acting. How could you live in a city that holds the best Off-Broadway theatre troupe in the country (Actors Theatre) and have acting this bad? It's got a motorcycle gang, Zombies, and SCANTILY CLAD WOMEN! What happened?! You know what really gets me though? I've got a script sitting right next to me for a great little Zombie Flick and now the absolute best title I've ever heard for a non-Romero Zombie Flick has been taken. 'Dead Moon Rising'? Are you kidding me?! That title is so brilliant it earned them an extra star (and they only got two folks)! Also, check out that poster! It's like Evil Dead meets Duke Nukem (ED+DN=AWESOME). You've cut me deep Producers of Dead Moon Rising, you've cut me deep.
Nightmare-Maker OK, somehow I just sat through this turd of a film.I'm telling ya, this is bloody awful.I love zombie films, but not this one.The reasons are as follow: 1. The acting borders on embarrassing...you get this one guy who keeps talking into the camera as if he's talking to you (the viewer), just makes you wanna reach into your T.V and punch him 2. The gore, well sort of gore is made up of Blackcurrent and Raspberry jam...plus some sausages covered in something red to look like guts! 3. Running time - 91 minutes...90 minutes too long! 4. On the DVD cover it boasts the LARGEST ZOMBIE SCENE EVER TO BE SHOT......Complete Bull***t!5. You think just by putting yellow paint on somebody's face makes a realistic looking zombie...You're wrong!...Seriously guys, don't waste your time or hard earned cash on this, it does'nt deserve it. The only plus point is it does have a couple of pretty tasty chicks in it.I reckon I could have made a better film for a tenner! I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANY STRONGER WARNINGS...THIS FILM IS SHITE!!!
ohsweetheartache The DVD cover is crazy awesome, so I thought I'd give it a chance. Unfortunately, the DVD cover was made with a hundred times more professionalism than the film it's self. The movie obviously had no budget, which is not a reason to condemn the movie. However, the skills (or lack of skills) of the director are reason enough.THE BAD: poor film quality (My personal digital cam looks sharper), dreadful and unflattering lighting in almost every shot, very poor editing (not nearly enough cutting), The musical score is both ridiculous and annoying (1976 called, it wants it's music back. PLEASE, lay off the synth !!!! ), sound is pathetic (background noise shifts from cut to cut, pulling you out the film, sound FX are too bad to even comment on), fight choreography is TERRIBLE, most of the jokes fall flat, Blood FX are poor (far to light, light pink isn't very threatening), worst of all is the Zombie make up (what's up with the yellow face paint?!?! If you put yellow face paint on someone, it doesn't look like a zombie...it looks like a person wearing yellow face paint. Not scary, just stupid).THE GOOD: There are a few nuggets of goodness littered through out this calamity. While most of the cast cant act their way out a wet paper bag, there are a couple that display some talent (the character of Nick was likable). The suicide head shot looked good. While most of the jokes are just stupid and immature, I admit to busting a chuckle a couple times. I was impressed by the number of zombies. So kudos on the gathering such a vast amount of extras. Unfortunalty, the zombie extras were poorly directed and poorly instructed. When the undead mob is running past the camera, most of them lean at the camera (and actually look directly at it) as if trying to get their moment in the spotlight. The director should have done something about that.A note to the director: Take some film classes, read some books, watch some movies, take notes. Keep trying, you might someday figure out what you're doing. You obviously have tremendous drive, but that's not always enough.Not the worst Indy film I've ever seen....not by far. However, I can't call it good. I really WANT to like this movie, because it looks like such a labor of love. I'm a fan of gorilla film making, and I respect the film makers for their efforts in overcoming the lack of budget (and I do mean lack of ANY budget). Unfortunalty, the lack of skill and knowledge far outweigh the efforts. As I said in the beginning, the DVD cover is great. But remember, its the product (not the packaging) that you'll be judged on.
mdarmocida I didn't even last through the first ten minutes. My stepson who shoots movies in our backyard with a home video camera and no discernible plot makes better movies than this.This was horrible, and would certainly have been a made for TV reject. The camera work looked like it was done on a $100 camcorder, the lighting was horrible and the acting even worse.Unfortunately, IMDb wants at least ten lines of text in this review, but the movie is so horrible there's nothing else to say so I will close by telling you not to waste your money. The only thing redeemable about this movie is the semi-hot looking chicks on the cover but I didn't last long enough to see them either.
