An absolute waste of money

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

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.

OK bad zombie movie as far as F rated zombie movies go. I am not the greatest of zombie fans. Some of these types of movies have been very good, but dang if the music in this one wasn't absolutely amazing. I found myself going from scene to scene waiting for the next bit of this outstanding score. Most action/horror zombie movies tend to over look the overall score. This one didn't and built on the music.Lets not overlook the scene where the Colonel finds his daughter, that for me was totally unexpected and quite touching. Too bad (in my opinion) that more of a story couldn't have been written for it. My 5 rating is due all to the music.

...but wow, this is bad.If you were expecting the high quality acting, script writing and special effects of your average you tube fan fiction garage edited production, you are setting your sights too high.Horrendously bad scripting in combination with horrible acting. The music could be worse(trying to add a positive) but even that is being kind. Costumes straight out of a Halloween store. Even the actors shambling around in the rubber zombie masks were bad.I really wanted to find something to like here, even if it was Plan B level like...

First of all, though I've seen hundreds of low budget horror films, there are folk out there much more familiar with today's low budget fear films, including many experts in zombie film and lore of the undead. Having said that I've seen and enjoyed the Dawn of the Dead remake, 28 Days Later, and yes even World War Z (never read the book), all big budget films when compared to the average independent film. I realize I'm in the minority here, but this film is enjoyable. On the technical side, just about a one man filmmaking army Rene Perez makes the most of his budget and resources, and can't be sure but looks to have done considerable planning prior to filming. He makes the most of his locations, thus he avoids the absurd number of close ups that low budget filmmakers rely on to hide the fact they have no location to speak of. I hate CGI gunfire, but here the filmmakers are wise in how it's rendered and filmed, even including the detail of discharged shells. The acting is no worse than the average teen slasher film, in fact the actors all possess interesting faces unlike the generic casting you often see in a lot of low budget horror. Also on the plus side is the camera-work, Perez has a very nice graphic sense and considering the low budget shows an ambitious eye. As for the zombies many are clearly wearing masks and stumble about in a not always convincing fashion, but hell I don't know how a zombie moves, last I checked they don't exist. The hero's combat suit is well designed and cool to look at. I applaud the filmmaker's decision to shoot the majority of the film in daylight, even big budget films have difficulty keeping night time scenes visible.Now I enjoyed the film itself because it has that certain charm that many low budget 80's action/horror films possessed. Now many would disagree, but I'm speaking about movies like the Italian Road Warrior ripoffs, David A. Prior (Deadly Prey) or Fred Olen Ray's (The Assault) work. I don't go into these films looking for perfectionism, if it's there great, but otherwise I just want some cool and/or fun stuff to watch. On a final note I applaud Perez for the manner in which he weaves the hope that God offers into the storyline, most take a very hostile view of the subject, the horror genre especially, so he went against the grain in this respect, hat's off.

The movie starts out with a man cremating the remains of his family. After bottling up the ashes, he puts on an outfit that looks like something out of Star Wars. Almost at once, he's pursued by zombies. At times I could tell the zombies were wearing rubber masks. It sounds funny, but it wasn't. It goes to show how low budget this was. Since the zombies are shown as being mostly decayed, I expected their clothes to be in very bad condition as well. However, there are a few splatters of blood here and there on the material. No rips or shreds in the clothing. The deaf girl's clothes were in worse condition than those of the zombies. I'm not sure how I could catch that but the wardrobe designer didn't. The lead character is trying to make his way to the ocean to toss his wife's ashes into it. Along the way, and in this movie, it seems longer than it is, he comes across a few other people who become part of his boring survival group. Seriously, if that's survival, tap me in the head with the nearest bullet so I don't get bored to death. There is some nudity. A zombie tears the shirt off a woman exposing her breasts. BTW, her boobs were the best actors in the entire movie. I gave this a 2-star rating. The storyline was boring, and the action was also boring and tedious. It's very. VERY low budget. I didn't enjoy it, and I can't recommend it. If you wanna watch a boring zombie storyline with characters you don't care about, SyFy has one on called Z Nation. On the bright side, at least it wasn't filmed through a camcorder. Personally, I think the lead character should've thrown this movie into the ocean when he threw in his wife's ashes.
