Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Diddisnap I recorded this movie along with several others to watch at random right before Halloween. This is when I get in the mood to binge- watch scary movies. Many of these movies are low-budget, but that doesn't necessarily mean terrible.It begins at a party with young twenty-somethings. Right away, it starts off with terrible acting, other than the main character, John (Justin Ray). He does a decent job. The worst performance is by the character, Turner (Jerod Meagher), who happens to be John's brother. I was hoping he would disappear soon in the movie because his acting is so spastic and distracting.The morning after the party is when devastation begins. It's actually pretty scary, especially when they don't know what's happening. When things get serious, Turner begins to calm down, thankfully, or else I would have had to stop the movie. As a less spastic Turner, his acting improves, which I'm thankful for. Being an obvious low-budget movie, means no amazing special effects and no big-name actors. In order for this movie to stand on its own, both the story and the actors need to be decent. As this movie progresses, the acting among the group of survivors holds-up and the story continues be fairly creepy. It was enough to keep me hooked. Because of this, I have to give this movie a higher rating. If you like survival movies, then you may like this one. While I wouldn't pay to see it in a movie theater, it is a decent movie to watch at home. Even my daughter, who was making fun of it in the beginning, was also hooked about 10 minutes in.
joshuadrake-91275 DISASTER L.A. : THE LAST ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE BEGINS HERE is really stupid, but it is good. Another guilty pleasure of mine! When meteors strike Los Angeles, the massive destruction they cause is the least of the city's worries as it's inhabitants begin to fall deathly ill from the resulting smoke. But when the dead begin to reanimate and feed off the living, five friends make a run for the coast before they can be killed by the infected - or worse, by government forces who will fight to contain the situation at any cost - in any nightmarish no-holds barred thriller.That is just the plot and this movie is just super stupid, but it is really good and just fantastic and was really amazing.The direction of the movie is directed by Turner Clay, who also does the music, editing, cinematography and also executive produced this film. His direction is so incredibly scary that the dialogue he writes is just very scary and intense.The music is over-creepy as hell and the music has a great memorable feel to it that makes you believe that this is going to be a zombie movie. The acting is dreadful in a few areas, but hell, the actors really tried. Justin Ray, Jerod Meagher, Stefanie Estes, Ron Hankks, Michael Taber, Dennis Leech and Morgan Jackson plays the characters in the film and some of them does seem to drag in a few areas.The make-up for the zombies is really gory and scary, but this movie did not have a very large budget and that's what I like about some of these movies, is that with a few action movies, scary films, sci-fi, comedy, drama, musical or teen movies, that you don't need a very, big huge budget to make that kind of movie genre film that you wanted to do.The editing is awkward in a few areas, but it works for this kind of zombie flick and it really does show a lot in this feature presentation. The visuals, set design, story and plot is really amazing as hell, a little cheesy in a few areas, but it really does show as well.Overall, DISASTER L.A.: THE LAST ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE BEGINS HERE is just stupid, but also creepy and really good. My sister Shaliyah, who is a twin to the other sister, Aaliyah, says that this film is not stupid, but the other two movies involving zombies, ZOMBIELAND and WORLD WAR Z are stupid, but also really, really good.I give it a 7 out of 10.
MrGKB ...in that it very nearly is one, but auteur Turner "State of Emergency" Clay deserves at least a few props for this lo-fi effort, if only for his apparent jack-of-all-trades labors. I wish he'd worked harder on the script, which although structurally functional remains bland and uninvolving, not to mention a direct crib from "Cloverfield." The characters---played earnestly by a cast of relative unknowns, not that there's anything wrong with that---aren't memorable enough to engage full attention, let alone audience involvement, and it's mostly the fault of a mundane screenplay that offers neither emotional catharsis nor intellectual engagement. Thankfully, it wasn't done as found- footage.As a zombie apocalypse film, it delivers next to nothing, let alone anything novel or unique. In these days of "The Walking Dead," that's trouble. I hope the investors didn't take too much of a bath.Eminently skippable, unless you're friends with the folks involved.
RichardFitswell First thing you should know about this movie is it is a one/two man outfit, a guy named Tyler and a guy named John, also the name of the main characters. Now you know the above, the movie gains an extra point for that, so in my eyes it goes from a 3 to a 4 purely because its been made on a low budget and by one/two people only. I'm a bit of a fan of B-movies, as generally, they try harder than the Hollywood classic-rip offs we have all grown used to.The effects are minimal, there is a small amount of blood, the plot/storyline makes little sense considering this is a zombie film. These are running zombies too which have the ability to open door knobs when it suits them but apparently cannot push open a shower door?The action is slow paced and dull, the characters are honestly misfits you wouldn't want around you during a zombie apocalypse. There is no character build up, characters die and I find myself not caring one bit because I could hardly remember their names.Decisions made by the characters seem stupid and not very well thought out, nothing is explained and the ending was abysmal, perhaps a small after credit scene showing survivors on the coast or a rebuild going on, the meteors taken away under cloth or something by the army?There was a lot of potential for this movie, and if this is the directors first movie making attempt I feel it is good in its own right, but it wouldn't be something you'd spend a good bit of money on.
