Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Griff Lees
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Yash Wade
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Someone thought they were being oh-so clever when they cast Dawn of the Dead star Ken Foree in this zombie film and then had him reference his role in the Romero classic, when in reality this is one of the most embarrassingly trite things to do in a modern zombie film (along with calling a character Savini, which they also do here!).In fact, there is absolutely nothing innovative or clever about this sorry affair that trots out all the expected zombie movie clichés—which might not have been quite so bad if the film hadn't been performed by a bunch of untalented Serbians struggling with the English language and directed by a pair of horror rookies who clearly think that an excess of shaky cam makes a zombie attack more scary (and who also have their undead roaring like wild animals just to be sure) .Some reasonable make-up/gore effects prevent the film from being a complete waste of time, and a few unintentional laughs can be had from an out-of-shape Foree as he attempts to outrun the undead (even the slow ones—this film features zombies of all speeds) and struggles to squeeze his gut through the window of a railway carriage.3.5 out of 10, generously rounded up to 4 for the blood 'n' guts.

1. Read the reviews. Compare them. 95% of the reviews are saying that this is the worst zombie film ever. But then there is that 5% that says they loved the film. Comclusion? 5% worked on it.2. Check the "X out of X users found this review helpful" You'll notice that all of the reviews saying this movie sucks has gotten a lot of thumbs down. Strange, considering the fact that MOST of the reviews ARE saying this Zone of the Dead thing sucks. Conclusion? People who worked on it and other Serbians are actually disliking IMDb reviews in order to make the film look not-as-bad as everyone claims.This film is the worst zombie related thing i've ever seen. I saw it in the bargain bin for 20SEK (thats about 2) but refused to buy it and downloaded it instead since i knew that those 2 would be better spent on cancer than this film.Is Ken trolling us? Did he wanna provoke some reaction by doing this? Returning to the zombie genre as a part of the worst zombie film ever? The script sucks. It's sooo wooden, and so is the acting. But what's funny is the way they speak English, i was cracking up because it's literally like watching Borat die to zombies.And like another reviewer said, tripods are CHEAP. Even the cheapest tripod would do a better job for this film than the shaky camera man who obviously has Parkinsons.ZotD has 4/10 on IMDb, it should have about 2. And i hope these people never make a film again.

Well what can I really say about this film that I haven't summed up with the vote, this film was awful, a real shame, I found this in the bargain bin at Asda and now I know why.I was originally excited to see Ken Foree return to a zombie movie role, but that excitement soon wore off, the acting from everyone involved in this movie including Ken was just wooden and without real emotion, there is no sense that they are trapped in a "Zone of the dead" The special effects are terrible, almost seeming that the budget was so tight after waisting most of it on beer for the zombie extra's, I think that the makeup effects make the "long dead zombies" look like white faced clowns with bust noses.I managed to watch to the end of this movie for the simple fact that I was hoping that it would get better and that I hadn't just waisted my £3, sadly this was not the case. Please, whoever funded this movie never give the people responsible for this movie funding again, ever, and please heed the warning that if I was left in a room with only this movie to watch again or to peel of my own skin that I would gladly start peeling.

First of all "Zone of the Dead" is a genre movie. If you are looking for some aEpic masterpiece you are looking in the wrong place. If you are looking for a semi-scary, slightly gory, zombie movie with the occasional line of laughter, this movie is for you.I thourahly emjoyed this movie. However I am a huge zombie fan and I haven't seen very many Zombie Movies that have not entertained me.Zone of the Dead is one of my favorite new zombie movies. Although it starts off relatively slow, it builds to a great climax. The dialog for a few characters is a little absurd, but it could also be the acting.Most of the cast does a good job 99% of the time.It explorers the human element in the face of death.( (SPOILER ALeRT)Characters reevaluate either values in the face of death and danger, unexpected bonds are formed in order to survive.The Zombie in this story are undead like in the original "Night of the Living Dead. Tney are not like "The 28 Days Later" creature in which they are infecyed with the rage virus. Even though the contagion can be passed through the bite of the infected, which kills you, then returns you to life!!
