Reviews
Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
John Cairns This is one of those films that kept me thinking for quite a while after watching it. It was less the story, characters and more the structure of the film i liked. Although there is a through-line to the story, I enjoyed the way it was arranged in vignettes, suddenly cutting to different places where survivors were beset by these very unique zombies and their more unique handlers. Honestly I enjoyed these survivor attack stories more than the main story. Due to this structure, it develops such a dreamlike quality after a while, with a detached sense of time and place.The effects of the film reminded me so much of the Fulci zombie films. Watching this was like a master class in creating those kinds of gruesome effects. I never got tired of seeing the live action gore and trying to figure out how the special effects artist made them.At first the dialogue felt too detached and odd, but it gradually grew on me in the same way Hal Hartley's dialogue does. Director-wise it was a cool mash-up of Hartley with extremely gory Fulci spicing up the entire thing. For an indie film the soundtrack was also quite good. The impacts and other sounds were very visceral (pun intended). Overall I enjoyed this indie film for it's dream-like quality the most, despite the disjointed pacing that comes with most indie films.
Mark Ritsen I'll be honest. I didn't think this would be good *at all* especially after reading some reviews on here but boy was I wrong. The effects are amazing and the zombies are downright disturbing. I can see how the acting would annoy some but you always get a lot of flashbacks to keep it interesting and those black figures... creepy stuff.Looks like there are multiple versions out there, which must be why some people are trashing it. I saw the so-called "Ultimate Cut" and it was pretty gnarly. This one tall creature has a belt of human heads and you get to see him add more to his collection. That's awesome.Bottom line: if you like horror, you'll like this.
DianaColorsOfTheWind The story and concept were good and interesting. The movie kept me entertained and invested and I liked the apocalyptic zombie concept. I want to warn though that this movie does not shy away from gore! That is the only reason I am giving it a 9 instead of 10.I gotta be honest it sicked me out a little bit. Considering it was independent I wasn't expecting to be so grossed out by it. However I am glad it was made and fans of gory zombie movies I think will be really into it. I consider this title ambitious especially for an independent film, but due to it's gruesome nature I just don't think I can rewatch it, but maybe I will.
rex-170 This is not a 6.3 This wouldn't even get a 3. Apart from the fact that i was bored to death within the first 10 minutes, the characters did not appeal one little bit.She was bland and he was so self absorbed in philosophical BS coupled with ridiculous "black creatures" i nearly wanted to vomit.Suffice to say this is not a movie i will be returning to watch anytime in the near future.Even if it was the last DVD on the planet, i would use it as a coffee coaster instead.The 6.3 and the two other reviews, i believe, have been made by people either directly involved in this film or people who have no taste in films.I can't believe i was fooled into thinking this might be an OK film.I now know why there isn't a trailer for this on IMDb.If there was people would be warned before viewing it.I'm so angry with myself now.Bugger it, i was going to give this a 3 but in a fit of anger i'm giving it a 1.
