Product Description

It began with an explosion at a chemical facility. But with a rising plume of deadly toxin released into the air, a nightmare is about to engulf a small community. Chaos soon consumes the nearby town as the residents begin to show signs of mutation, causing the military to quarantine the area leaving any survivors trapped inside a quarantine. In the midst of this State of Emergency , Jim - a young man isolated within the red zone - must elude the walking dead and escape to freedom away from the flesh eating zombies that surround him.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant way to spend 86 minutes 13 Jan 2013
By Sam Woodward TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
Thanks to some skillful direction, this tense zombie flick does not come across as a low budget movie at all. Indeed it's very well made all round with nice tension, good cinematography, excellent pacing & competent acting.

Jay Hayden broods his way through a zombie outbreak caused by an explosion at a local chemical plant. He ends up holed up in a farm with a few other survivors waiting for military rescue, while fighting off his former neighbours. Being a rural community, there aren't massive zombie hoards roaming round but the ones there are move fast & are dangerous even on their own (wannabe directors note - this is how to not overstretch your budget!). So while it's not as OTT as most other zombie flicks, I felt this actually gave it a greater sense of realism.

While I enjoyed all 86 minutes of this movie, once it ended I felt slightly deflated. That's because there's nothing new in terms of plot ideas & because it doesn't really have much to say, it isn't particularly memorable. State Of Emergency is an enjoyable zombie film which does what you'd expect it to do but it's lack or originality makes it one to rent rather than buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, just awful.... 5 Feb 2013
By Flawedgenius
Format:DVD
Basically a straight to TV movie that rips off 28 days later but without anything approaching a plot. Low budget it may be but there are plenty of good horror made on a shoe string this sadly is not one of them. 80 odd minutes and litterally nothing of note happens.

Characters are totally unengaging, you just don't care if they survive or not.

To describe this as a zombie film is taking liberties to say the least to call it the best of 2012 is a flat out lie especially as it was actually made in 2010 they just released in 2012.

Don't waste your time or money on this, throw some dulux on the wall and watch it dry will be much more entertaining.

This is a decent attempt at a unique zombie movie. It falls a bit flat at times but there is a sufficient amount of action to keep you entertained until the end. Read more
