Product Description
Transporting valuable human cargo of state prisoners across a hazardous war zone, a group of Interpol mercenaries headed by Agents Reyes and Milius are forced to make an unscheduled detour when they encounter the remnants of a catastrophic ecological disaster. Trapped in hazardous wasteland, miles from help and civilization, they find themselves beseiged by a vast army of rampaging, blood-thirsty mutants, ravenous creatures who will stop at nothing to devour every human in existence. As Reyes and Milius fight for their lives and to protect their precious cargo, they realize their only chance for escape is in joining forces with the treacherous criminals in their care. But these men have a past as deadly and terrifying as the monsters out for their blood.

I watched this not expecting much (I've seen plenty of zombie flicks with similar covers and been disappointed e.g Zombie diaries).
This was an good zombie flick from serbia, it does not take itself too seriously and gets on with the zombie action. The plot was wafer thin with many pointless scenes like going down to fix the generator to fix the electric to the PC and then it never worked anyway. I guess we need some excuses for some dumbass characters to be eaten up by the zombies.
To me, this film reminded me of a zombie game you would play on your console - some scenes are like cut scenes from a game with some bad dubbing going on. Why some actors were dubbed is strange as they are all speaking English anyway. The Professor was dreadful and he wasn't dubbed. The Apocolpyse character voice over had me in hysterics as the voice did not fit the actors motions!!
Ken Foree keeps it together along with Kristina Clebb so there are some good acting amoung the crap. There are a few nods to the original zombie flick "Dawn of the Dead" as Ken was in this film. "Maybe we should find a mall?"!
It's not a great film and lets be honest most zombie films aren't but if you just love to watch zombie films then you will want to see this for the gore. There is also a scene after the credits roll if you want to know what happens to the annoying dumbass reporter.

This film is also known as ZONE OF THE DEAD in case anyone spots it under that title as well. A Serbian made zombie flick with lots of nods towards the Romero style of zombie films.A nod to RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD is having a gas cause the dead to rise. This is not a great zombie film, but you could do a lot worse then buying it if you are a zombie fan.It is good to see a different take on zombies from European eyes. The film is dubbed but watchable. It is more enjoyable watching it with friends after the pub though!

This would be a standard run of the mill zombie b-movie were it not for one man & that man is Ken Foree, who played Peter Washington in the original Dawn of the Dead. This means to us fans, he's the equivalent to zombie royalty. However, I'm not just giving him props for turning up. With his cool vibes & sheer presence, I think he lifts this movie to above average.
Apocalypse of the Dead is one of those zombie films filmed in Eastern Europe - mainly for tax & cost reasons. The result I always find is the same - the sets all tend to look the same plus the lighting always seem too dark. For me, I have two gripes with the movie. I mention the lighting as it is a real issue; virtually the whole movie seems poorly lit. The second is the soundtrack - I think there must have been some sync problems.
OK - gripes over. Picture a train carrying a top secret cargo. As normal, there is an accident & a toxic gas is leaked out into a nearby station. Enter zombie madness. There are a few cut scenes to the Serbian President as it seems that this is all part of some government cover up but this theme is not developed that much in the movie.
Ken Foree turns up as a super-cool Interpol agent working on a prisoner transfer. With just one day to retirement (isn't it always the way), he gets caught up the drama...
Throw in a religious nut, a zombie nun, having to shoot your partner, a girl with too few clothes & you got yourself a zombie movie.
The zombies themselves are well-done & seem to be a mix of fast & slow - something for everyone There is even a sneaky joke in there about shopping centres for hardcore fans.
All in all, entertaining low budget horror not to be judged to harshly. The savage reviews on here are too much, these fans should bow to an actor who deserves our respect - Mr Ken Foree.
