if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Blistering performances.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Following a viral outbreak in Taiwan, a woman and her daughter are forced along with a group of police officers and gangsters when a horde of zombies overruns the city and makes them have to rely on each other in order to survive the relentless and ravenous beings.This was a highly enjoyable and fun zombie effort. As is the case with so many zombie efforts, the fact that there's so much action in here is one of its main factors and generates the most amount of fun here. The first encounter in the supermarket after awakening from the accident is so much fun as the different encounters with the swarms feasting on the remains of patrons and finding herself being chased out of the store makes for a creepy start with the appropriately gory and bloodied bodies found in the aisles adding to the fun. The scenes of the SWAT team getting attacked by the gangsters in a blazing gunfight before finding the zombies drawn to the gunfire and attacking the two groups in a mass panic, while the shorter attacks featuring the reporter being chased away or the zombies appearing in the club where the tied-up victims are stuck together all give this one quite the fun, fast and frantic start. By focusing on the efforts of the team to not only battle the zombies in the streets and keeping the civilians safe, there's plenty of great battles and gunfights in a large part of the film showing everyone attempting to get away from the creatures which gives off some rather fun scenes in the streets showing the survivors running into the hordes and forcing them into extreme measures to take care and avoid them, the plethora of gunfights to emerge from the creatures getting in and the groups' escape attempt to get out of the bunker alive as there's a nice battle to get to the truck amid the zombies converging on them trying to load the victims inside while the hand-to-hand martial arts required to hold them off adds another layer to the fun action quotient of this one. Likewise, the finale where the few remaining participants are trying to stay alive in the bunker where the creatures have trapped them and force them to rather fun barricades to hold off the zombies as they try to make their escapes gives this a kind of frantic high-energy finale to make for a stellar finish to this one. Along with the rather strong violence throughout here and the great zombie make-up, there's a lot of fun to be had here with this one although there are a few minor problems. The biggest issue here is the fact that the films' diversions into the torture dungeon where the one man has the others tied up and goes on raping them doesn't really need to be there other than to interject some sleaze and dirtiness into the film which didn't need it. They serve no purpose and have no overall reason to be there so it has some real problems being here. The only other issue is the film tries to go for poignancy in nearly all the relationships between everyone here and the melodramatic tone is quite draining overall since very little of it registers after it's all said and done as everything is like that. Otherwise, there's not much else wrong here.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Extreme Graphic Language, Full Nudity, Rape and children-in-jeopardy.

Intro begins with your typical scientific breakthrough news clips with opening credits. Now, before I continue, I should state that I watched this movie without English Subtitles, so I didn't get to follow much of the story, (the zombie outbreak is explained through Chinese characters), but after living in China for almost 4 years I understood some of what they were saying.The first moment where you think "should I turn this off and just watch something else?" is minutes into the film, but stick through it. The woman is incredibly stupid, acting as if it's the first time she's seen zombies when it's clear the whole city of Taipei has been devastated by them. When her rescuer arrives, that's when you're left a bit intrigued.The biggest problem I found was the sound. There are moments where you think "this scream metal music should be louder to accompany the action" but it's not and the kicks and punches sound like they were done using an old Casio Keyboard. And the human actors making zombie sounds is bad..."and you should feel bad"-ZoidbergSex plays a heavy part in this film. If you've ever watched apocalypse films and thought "If that were me, I'd be hording beautiful Asian woman and raping them on a daily basis" well then this films for you. In fact, I'm tempted to believe that the zombie apocalypse was just a front for the director to fulfill his life long dream of directing snuff films. I just watched "I Spit On Your Grave" and that film has nothing on this one. These scenes will give you that uncomfortable boner that you hope no one else watching with you will notice. But...the action sequences fall flat. The jokes seems as if they were written 15 years ago (KEVIN SMITH REFERENCE????) and you don't really give a crap about who dies, in fact when they do die you barely notice since there's constantly new characters thrown in that I can't even remember what happened to Sniper Chick (a staple in China) or the little boy's Mama. There's a black guy in there who jumps around everywhere, even when he doesn't have to, but he's kind of likable. I wasn't surprised at all that this film managed to find a Japanese villain, after all, it is a Chinese film, but those who have never lived in China wouldn't get it anyway, so it's a plus for me.I'm left with some questions in the end though, as I'm sure those who watch it will have, such as WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DAUGHTER??? and Why did that guy become a RESIDENT EVIL BOSS FIGHT AND WHY DID THE OTHER ZOMBIES ATTACK HIM. In the end, it's just another zombie movie from a different perspective. I need to learn more Mandarin.TL;DR Moderate budget Taiwanese zombie flick with a low budget minded)or (or experienced) film crew

This was an awesome Asian Zombie movie. A Zombie plague has taken over and the TV warns everybody to evacuate the city. The Local gang-members don't watch the news, so when they see the cops storm-trooping down the street with full battle-rattle it's game on! And in the middle of the shoot-out here comes the un-dead. In the opening scene they borrow from 28days later, and Zombie land. The serial killer who does well in the zombie Apocalypse with his dungeon is from "COLLIN". "Big-Budget Zombie Film" film that borrowed from "Lil-budget Zombie Films". But borrowing is part of the Zombie Genre the problem is they didn't expand on it, and they had the money, casts, extras, and rolling sets to do so. I would've loved for the Cops to be in full Zombie elimination not Evacuate the city mode. The Cops and Gang-members join up to defeat the Zombies has been done to un-death (Horde, Gangs of the Dead, etc, etc,) it would've been nice instead of joining forces had they went there separate ways. Seeing how the discipline SWAT team moves against the Zombies, or a tactical peel retreat. And the Gangsters with their wild undisciplined strongest bravest style. Then see how both sides come to the realization that you have to shoot the Zombies in the head. In this film even the onslaught could have been choreographed better sprinkle them in then mob, all scenes were the same. Whether in the sewer, the slums, pent-house, or parking lot, all ill-used sets.

This has to be the worst movie i have ever seen...I logged in to IMDb after many years just to warn the viewers not to see this movie. The cops had airsoft equipment!!!! "Special effects" contained an octopus that tried to rape a woman... I am not a hater but the actors were at least funny. I couldn't stop the movie because i couldn't move with the stuff i was watching. Funny fact: On all action scenes the camera was cut in a way you couldn't see if the enemy was actually beaten up!!! Do a favor to yourself and don't watch this movie, i mean you can find a lot better movies on youtube instead of this stuff. Still you think its worth watching this? Good luck , you are gonna need it. 78 minutes of your life that you will never get back.
