Reviews
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
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.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
ultra_tippergore Zombies:The beginning is not a beginning in any way. In fact is a sequel to Island of the Living Dead and also is the last movie from Italian exploitation director Bruno Mattei. Mattei made a lot of movies, more than 100, and he was famous for using footage from other movies, music from other movies and also plots from other movies, he was a professional rip-off director, but he managed to made some really entertaining movies (zombie movies, WIP movies, erotic, gore, action, nun exploitation,etc) . Zombies The beginning is his last movie and, fortunately, it's a good end for Bruno. The movie delivers the goods, is a blood packed action zombie movie, with the usual stock stolen from other movies and the complete lack of originality, but its very good in his own way. Lots of action, lots of zombies, good fx and good costumes, lots of torched babies and atrocities. The movie is shot on digital video and that's the only reason this one is not as good as mattei 80s zombie movies, the film look. But in action, gore and entertainment this one is as good (in terms of entertainment that is what matters after all more than cinematography) as those ones. Bruno is dead. Long Live Bruno.7/10
f wielemaker They indeed used the script of alien, its like the movie alien 3 but much worse. but for the effort i gave them a 2. so if you expect a good movie full of action packed horror don't watch this one. on the other hand if you like crappy movies this is the one.things i learned form this movie:explosives used to blast a door open, the blast impact works both ways.zombies have teeth which are similar to vampiresan eyeball can be attached on the top of your head where your hair is supposed to be.motion detectors make a distinctive soundi really can fall a sleep watching a horror movie
WhoFan Unless you live in another planet, people that watch this type of movies have seen Alien II This story line and progression of the movie, it's that other way better movie.I like low, low, low budget movies, and I think this one actually had a few dollars, just to bad they forgot to pay the writer some money to come up with something original.Asian Zombies, I'm cool with that, but please, better dub would not have hurt.The movie in not even worth renting, but it was fun to see this people's version of the space marines.
iceknuckles2288 Mattei's final film is truly amazing. It is bizarre, disgusting, and incredibly cheesy. The plot is basically just the movie Aliens(1986), except with zombies as the enemy instead of the xenomorphs.The zombies have excellent makeup, they look much more like rotting corpses then much of Mattei's earlier work. The acting is hilariously terrible. Even though this was filmed in English, Mattei used the old Italian trick of dubbing all the dialog. This has predicable results, with the actors putting emphasis on the wrong syllables and words, and having far less emotion when delivering their lines. This helps the movie out tremendously ,however, as most dialogue scenes are chocked full of potential quotes for bad movie lovers.The gore is good, it is not as explicit as some of his previous movies but it is still very entertaining. The rest of the special effects are more laughable then anything else. But what do you expect from a Mattei production? All in all, its a great movie, filled with quotes and moments that exploitation fans will love. It is sad ,though, that such an entertaining filmmaker died before he got the respect he deserved. Ciao Bruno.
