An alien bacterium resurrects the dead on Earth.

Reviews
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Leofwine_draca EVILUTION is another vague military zombie movie with little plot and pedestrian execution. Nothing that happens in this film is original and everything will have been seen before, many times. It's a typical zombie straight-to-DVD flick with little to distinguish it in an already overcrowded sub-genre.In essence, there are some military experiments and animal testing (much like 28 DAYS LATER) which lead to a virus (extraterrestrial in origin, apparently) being released which has the power to reanimate the dead. The dead are subsequently reanimated and go on the rampage in various gory but low budget sequences.The characters are appalling, the acting is of a sub-standard, and the script isn't worth mentioning. The execution isn't the worst I've seen, but the material is so schlocky and derivative that I wonder why they made the effort.
Seb In an army base guarded by two soldiers there's this alien virus, if you inject it into someone they turn into a zombie. All of a sudden a bespectacled nerd breaks out of the lab with the virus and he's away, out of Iraq and to some slum with only three different scenes. Here you'll meet a massively desperate divorcée, a tiresome gang and a pointless junkie. The army plan of dropping a bomb on the whole thing starts to look pretty good about this point. I couldn't get over how totally disinterested the main actor seemed, he's supposed to be fired up on a mission to inject his mad scientist virus but mopes around like some guy who has been dragged to the shops on a Saturday morning by his wife.There's very little story here and although the scenes of zombies munching people are done reasonably well its hard to really care about the half dozen characters living there.The ridiculously grandiose ending lost it a couple of points from me because it's fair enough to make a substandard zombie flick but it's not OK to do that and then act as though you have created some thought provoking masterpiece. This reminds me a bit of Mulberry Street except that's a good movie and this absolutely isn't. The cover also bears no similarity to film, always a hallmark of a film that the producers know deep down wasn't really good enough.
Nyx_Selene I never thought I would say this, but this movie is actually worse than "House of the Dead". I was eating dinner while watching it, and it still made me fall asleep twice.The story: Scientist finds alien (or so I'm told) and tries to use it as a weapon (what else?), by having it re-animate dead soldiers. The re-animated people turn into flesh-eating zombies, some buildings blow up, leaving only the nerd alive, he moves to a pretty disgusting apartment building, then we get to enjoy some silly over-acted acting, some "scary gang" of 3 guys that couldn't frighten a 4-year-old, and the most over-acted military hit-man of the year. Nerd tries to perfect the alien/virus/whatever, after that it turns into "28 days later" for a short while and then comes the predictable, laughable ending.This movie is uninteresting at best. The concept has been done numerous times before, but better, leaving this try at it clichéd and completely unfrightening. Had it had some kind of comedy twist or at least been bad in a way to make it funny, it might (using the term in it's most extreme meaning) have worked, but the most unforgivable thing about it, is that it's just too boring. Too can't-keep-my-eyes-open-for-the-love-of-life boring.
alientechy Well lets see how the movie goes. Sandra Ramirez has a sex scene in this movie with the nerd. She don't take off her cloths so there is no nudity, there is no touching and no kissing, you can imagine they are having sex when even a $5 lap dance has more contact and intimacy. She does take off his belt but thats how close shes comes to him.. Some of the actors were cool like the gang banger and junkie punk. But they could not find a hot chic who could touch any of the actors let alone kiss them. They could have saved the money by skipping the women and adding in some rabbits and chimps. It is after all a killer zombie movie. Maybe a few blow up dolls would also do the trick. Editing out the 15 minutes of eye candy that was revolting and the movie was fun to watch. There were even some CGI effects in this unbelievable ,,,,,.
