This movie had the right quotes to catch your attention, on the cover, but did not live up to it. It had potential, plot wise, if your a zombie fan, you know the basics, heres mine.
-do not watch a zombie flick with high expectations, so if its good you'll be surprised
-usually when the movie has a dark worn out look during the movie due to the camera it was shot with, get ready for sub par acting and a lot of "WTF's!" moments
the rest you can fill in with your personal taste
But this movie, did okay for the budget it was given, which is not really saying much. They did good job adding a lot zombies to make it look like a lots going on, just so they can cover up certain inperfections, one of the characters (the black guy) picks up a chainsaw but doesnt turn it on, you dont hear it, but somehow hes cutting down zombies.........??????? There were one or two cool effects, horrible make-up for the zomibes( white powder on the face and Fake blood) some scenes looked obvious that they squirted blood on sheets and on the wall, and the ending.....SPOILER ALERT!!!, SPOILER ALERT!!! It ends in a "to be continued'.............. As if I want to wait for the second one to know what happens and waste my time.
If you like watching movies that leave you with questions..... like "Why didnt I turn this off 45 mins into movie?" this is for you.

Fast and furious zombie fun!!
1) ACTING: The acting in this zombie opus was pretty good. While the viewer is forced to deal with the usual stereotypical characters, (the cool dude, the dork, the hot chick, etc.) the actors, for the most part, made their respective characters pretty realistic. However, I must mention that I thought a number of the actors looked a little long in the tooth to be playing high school kids.
2) PRODUCTION: I think this is where there will be a lot of dissention between viewers. The blood and gore is plentful, and the action is fast and furious. The movie is filmed with a grainy film resolution, which combined with the jerky, fast moving camera movements and angles, made more that one scene difficult to see. The jerky, hand held camera movements did not bother me to the point of nausea, but I did occassionally wish for a NON shakey moment, just so I could focus my eyes. The zombie make up was minimal and looked more like individuals running around covered in blood. I appreciated all the homages to other movies that I noticed. It IS a zombie movie people, and a lot of zombie movies have already been done, so the chances of seeing something that we've already seen is pretty high. My biggest disappointment was the ending. The surviving heroes are on the run, they hit a dead end, (no pun intended) and...fade to black appears with "To be continued..." WHAT?!?!? If this was a tv show when next week I would be seeing the next part, or if the sequel to 'Automaton Transfusion' was already sitting in the can, waiting to be released in a month...okay. But to have an indie movie end like this when there may be no definite sequel in sight is a terrible way to end.
3) ZOMBIES: Nothing really new here is brought to the genre, just more of the shamblers and runners that we've come to love.
4) THE CAUSE: Military experiment gone awry...sigh
5) NUDITY: A few breasts appear.
FINAL:
I enjoyed this movie. I have heard and read a lot of reviews where you either hate it, or love it. While I didn't "love" it, I did think it was a fun visit to the zombie genre. When you realize that the director made this movie for such a low amount of money, you have to give props where props are due. Hopefully, there will be a sequel to this movie, so that we can find out what happened to the survivors, and maybe some Hollywood types will give the director some ample cash for a serious budget.
RATING: 3.5 out of 5

BUYERS BEWARE: Regardless of what the case states, this movie is NOT an enhanced widescreen presentation. On my HDTV being played through a HD DVD upconverter, it shows up as a smaller widescreen box on my screen. When switching between the other three DVD players I have, nothing changed....
Now as far as the movie is concerned, it was good for what it was, a zombie splatter bloodbath. It wasn't nearly as bad as most of the reviews on here, however the ending did kinda suck (I won't give it away, you can see for yourself). I would have rated this movie between a 3-1/2 and 4 stars but I docked it a point for not being an enhanced presentation...
So, if you could care less about the screen specs and are a zombie fan, I say give this a shot. The blood definitely splatters all over the place and since it is pretty much non-stop, I never got bored.

I really went into this one thinking for a low budget Zombie flick that it just might work. Well it did not work. I sick of seeing bad acting with effects that are just silly. Im tired of them slapping on some white make up on their face and spilling some blood on their shirts and calling some sort of undead. It just does not work! It looks cheap and it is cheap. What was really disapointing is the plot could have work. A agent to reanimate the dead so that they are fast and some what smart as a weapon is a cool story. They would feast on their enemies and not have to use soliders is not a bad script. Then to test it on some small town is great but that is where it begins and end. Not to mention they dont even give you a ending to this film. They actually think that you would want to see sequeal to this. That is how it actually ends. To be continued. You have to be kidding me I bought one copy of this film but I'm sure the hell am not buying or watching another minute of this garbage. Do yourself a favor and PASS on this Stinker!

This is quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen, if you are thinking of buying this please, I beg you for your own sake don't the acting is poor the story is worse the effects are just plain bad...
Sorry if it seems like I'm just slating this... effort but in all honesty it's the worst zombie no the worst film I have ever seen it hurt me till the bitter cliff hanger end.
If i could give this film 0 stars I would honestly I've seen allot of zombie films and this one would make George A. Romero cry his black reanimated little heart out. (Not at all trying to imply Romero is a zombie or has a black heart)
Thanks for your time
