Brutal, bloody terror. In a world where the living dead rule the planet, two human hunters seek dead specimens for their scientist cohort to experiment on to find answers among the madness.

Reviews
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Bezenby Italians are great at making zombie films, so I was curious to see how a modern take on it would turn out. Would it stand up to the 'zombie versus shark' scene of Zombie Flesh Eaters? Or Burial Ground's "Momma - this cloth smells of death" scene? Or how about that bit in Nightmare City where they fight the zombies while climbing a roller-coaster? Well, they almost do it, almost. At first I thought I was in for another snore fest alongside Tokyo Zombies as we have two protagonists who mumble about things and lie about staring into space, but things picked up a bit, although they never quite reach the delirious heights of the "Removing the vocals chords" scene from Zombie Holocaust.These two guys, plus another two annoying guys, plus a crazy scientists and perhaps another guy, are all living in a compound and are the only people left alive after a zombie epidemic (save for the neo-Nazis, a crazy artist called Carravagio, and some guy called the plague spreader). There are no women left, seemingly, except for the half alive wife of one of the guys who they keep chained up in the basement. The scientist guy sends out the two main characters to get more zombie to experiment on, which leads to a road movie type scenario.While slow to start off, things picked up a bit when they go toe to toe with the Neo-nazi guys, meet the plague spreader etc, but the story needed a bit more action (main problem here is that zombies themselves are a bit thin on the ground). There are certain quirks in the film (like the strange animation that the zombies watch) and quite a bit of gore, so I'd say it's worth a watch.However, it's got nothing on the "meeting the natives" scene from Zombie Creeping Flesh, the "flying head" sequence from Zombie Flesh Eaters 2, the attack on the hospital in "The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue", Massimo Vanni's fighting off the dead in Zombie Flesh Eaters 3, the whole of Dellamore Dellamorte, John Morghen's death in Cannibal Apocalypse, and, well, it's a whole lot better than Oasis of the zombies.Wait, Jess Franco was Spanish.
MrBelette Uwe Boll just put his name on it but he has nothing to do about the making of this film so unless you're stupid enough to be fooled by the name like Romeu Rosa did in his/her review you shouldn't judge by this. Remember even Coppola, Scorsese, Lucas or Spielberg put their names on terrible things too. Just see it as a typical Italian zombie movie, the kind the Italians did in the 70s or the 80s. The ones that were hated at the time but are now loved because they just have names like Fulci or Argento on it. Don't react like Pavlov dogs when you see a name or go by the cult of personality of the "politique des auteurs". Just watch it and judge by yourself. See it as a fun Z movie. Z as in zombie.
TdSmth5 Two military/paramilitary guys who work with/for some scientist go out in the country to look for zombies for the scientist. In flashbacks we learn that the wife who is now a zombie used to be a scientist herself working on some project to improve humanity. While they are out there, they run into neo-Nazis for no good reason. These neo Nazis spend their time on some suicidal contest where a couple of them have to face a horde of zombies and the survivor wins. They also have a little Hitler stashed somewhere. While it looks like all youth has been extinguished our heroes rescue a teenage girl who will be the hope of humanity, if she survives her run-in with little Hitler. Our guys also discover truths about the science project and meet the main scientist who know is working for a scientist gone crazy.Eaters is gory and the effects are very good because they are different than the typical shiny latex used in US special effects. These are cruder which makes them more suited for a zombie movie. Despite the low budget, the movie has a decent look but it's your usual post-apocalyptic colorless look. Our two main characters aren't particularly likable though. There's not much of a main character. The story overall though is interesting and different.
Romeu Rosa Yes, Uwe Boll put his name on this, and that's enough for me to give it the lowest score possible. People are quick to forget the horrors he has done to excited film buffs around the world by butchering some greatly anticipated game-to-film adaptations. And butchering I think is not enough to describe what he did on such movies as "Postal", "Bloodrayne", "Alone in the Dark"... just to name a few.Endorsing this movie is endorsing mr Boll and NO self respecting film buff should ever to that, unless he truly hates good movies and want trash like the one Uwe Boll does to take over the industry.Is that what YOU want?
