A review from Zombie-Nation, July 26, 2009
This review is from: The Zombie Apocalypse (DVD)
No budget...? No problem!!
ACTING: As with the usual low / no budget indies, the expectations for oscar worthy performances are pretty low. The cast of Zombie Apocalypse was a nice surprise. While there are a few actors that may want to consider other career choices (or at least, some acting lessons) pretty much everyone held their own and it was clear that they had fun doing it.
PRODUCTION: Another pleasant surprise. This is one of those films that realizes it doesn't have millions of dollars at its disposal and embraces it. The script is pretty good considering it originally was separate episodes meshed together into a full length feature (I did notice a few things continuity-wise and plot-wise that vanished thanks to the meshing). The sound production and background music is great, the make up, blood & gore is pretty good and the special effects aren't bad.
ZOMBIES: The good, the bad and the ugly! The make up for the zombies was really good. The zombies were the usual eclectic bunch. Walkers, runners, shamblers, they're all here. One thing that caught my attention was at first the zombies need to have their brains destroyed to be stopped, then later, it seems anything goes as a way to destroy the zombies.
THE CAUSE: Not really clear about this. Some sort of infection.
NUDITY: None.
FINAL: Overall, what can I say? This was a fun, action packed zombie adventure. It would be nice to see what the director and his production team could do with some serious cash. I hope that a distributor picks this up as it deserves to be seen and enjoyed by all of us zombie aficionados and those just looking for for an action filled adventure.
RATING: 4 out of 5
