It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

After their Australian village is overrun by zombies, a team of survivors band together against the alien infection at the source of the outbreak and try to get out alive.This is a highly enjoyable and entertaining effort that really has a lot going for it. One of its most impressive attributes is the rather impressive dedication to suspense during their scenes, regardless of the intent of the scene. The first scene on the highway has a comedic edge to it, though there's the highly suspenseful bit with the body under the car, the slowly encroaching horde in the bunker works well against the flat-out action of the shoot-out to get rid of them and finally the dealings with the alien beings are just plain freaky for the unexpected nature of what's going on. That leaves the film's encounters far more satisfying so there's a lot of fun to be had from the zombie swarm overrunning the barn-house or the supermarket battle that interrupts their chance at restocking supplies to be incredibly exciting scenes mixed in here along with the rather impressive zombie make-up and gore which makes the positives in this one. The flaws within here are incredibly simple to spot, as it consists pretty much of the final half-hour as this one takes a turn for the wonky at that point. The science-fiction based turn of the plot makes no sense as the aliens have no plan for arriving or enslaving Earth, their abductions make even less sense and it really tends to feel like a whole different ending attached on at that section of a zombie movie. As well, the inclusion of the aliens does hinder this by making the entire attack beforehand all the more useless by never allowing the attacks or even the enslavement of the town to make sense. It really makes this all the more confusing by not being clear about its intentions or purpose here by making it all into redundant attacks unnecessarily. Otherwise, this is a rather fun and enjoyable during the first half.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and Brief male rear Nudity.

This is one of those movies that is so bad, it's actually kinda good. Watching this put a grin on my face, not because of how good it is but because how cheesy and hilarious the dialogue is. It's like it's going in a sort of serious direction, but the actors themselves don't seem to take any of it seriously. Which is a good thing, cause if they tried their best to act serious the movie just wouldn't be good at all. The dialogue is even hysterical at times, not because it's clever in anyway but because it seems like everything is so darn sarcastic. Everything about this movie is just downright ridiculous and silly and the characters actions and reactions just doesn't make any sense what so ever. It's basically a sci-fi zombie flick, where meteorites turn people into zombies and the living survivors are trying to stay alive. Anyone can tell when the uber cheesy music start to play that this isn't a serious zombie flick, nor should it be viewed as one. Even if it's one of those ridiculous movie, it got a bit annoying watching the survivors try and kill the zombies by shooting them in the chest instead of aiming for the head for the long portion of the film. Overall it's basically a very flawed movie that should be watched with friends in order to get some laugh out of it and make comments during the movie.6.1/10

This movie has an interesting concept, and it must have had a decent budget. The special effects are well-done, the story unravels well and is executed in an interesting way. The acting is not too impressive, but the actors do seem to be having fun with it and you get the impression it could have been a lot better if that was the intention. This is something of a shame, as the movie would have been more immersive if it had something of a more serious tone, but at the same time this playful tone is consistent throughout the movie.The odd thing is it at times does nail this serious tone, and even the acting would have been entirely forgivable if it had not been for one major detail: The Music. The Music for Undead is by far the worst music I have ever, in my entire life, out of all the movies I have ever watched, in the history of the universe, had the misfortune of being exposed to. Have you ever wondered what happened to the people who used to make silly orchestra music for the myriad slapstick comedies of the 60s and 70s? Look no further, apparently they moved to Australia and got involved in horror movies.It's a damned shame. I was able to make it about halfway through the movie until I had to turn it off, as the music became too annoying to sit through. The entire flick becomes a vision of what it could have been, rather than what it actually is. A shameful waste of what otherwise has all the makings of a brilliant zombie slasher.

As horror/sci-fi movies go, this is not one of the best. It is, however, pretty fun. Clearly inspired by some of the earlier Peter Jackson work, Undead features zombies, aliens, crazy people with guns, stupid people with guns, alpha male and alpha female and lots of blood. This is the good part.The bad part is that most of the actors involved are playing like they are having fun, but can't really act. Also, for a 2003 movie I expected slightly better special effects. The script was interesting enough, even if a bit confusing at times, but the biggest failure of the film was its inability to choose between comedy, horror and sci-fi. I don't doubt that reality has a bit of both, but in Undead, the transition just didn't work.Bottom line: I did watch the movie as it was done by the same people that made DayBreakers, which had an awesome 10 minutes start. Unfortunately, it's about the same amount of time this movie has that is really interesting, the rest being average, at best.
