As another day dawns in the peaceful fishing community of Berkeley, former 'Miss Catch of the Day', Renee, is getting ready to leave and start a new life in the big city.
But her getaway stalls when a hail of meteoritics hits town and unleashes a virus that reanimates the district's dead. After years cooped up in their coffins, the zombies are ravenous and the only thing that will satisfy their appetites is human flesh!
Fleeing to an isolated farmhouse, Rene teams up with a gang of crazed survivalists... it's time for the living to take on the undead!

Format:DVD
Billed to me as the Australian 'Shaun Of The Dead', it isn't entirely undeserving of the title, nabbing scenes from various zombie films and a couple of Hollywood blockbusters as well. The plot runs as follows - meteorities fall from space and smash into people turning them into zombies who are naturally hungry. A group of survivors end up in the bunker of an enigmatic man with moves nicked straight out of 'The Matrix' but as one of them is a pregnant woman and they have no food and water, they find themselves having to escape. Later on, we discover that the entire zombie premise is part of an alien conspiracy and so the battle is with the aliens as well as the rabid cadavers wandering around the apocalyptic town.
The film certainly rubs shoulders with 'Braindead', being both dysfunctional and comically gory (although the blood and entrails quieten down as the movie goes on). Zombie fans will enjoy picking out various sight gags and bits of speech taken from other zombie films "they're not zombies, don't call them that!" and newcomers to the genre will delight in the outrageous death scenes of the undead. It's no 'Braindead' being neither quite as funny or intense, and the plot does drag at times towards the end, but it is certainly a reasonable alternative for fans of Peter Jackson's early work and for virgin zombie viewers the first half an hour will help desensitise you for your exploration into the genre. And the elderly lady taken out by a meteorite early on will make you split your sides with laughter. Every. Single. Time...

A enjoyable funny action packed zombie/sci-fi movie, even more so because it's set here in Australia with a good unknown cast, a must have for any zombie film fans.
Format:DVD
I bought this dvd as I was in the mood for a zombie film. I chose this one as I enjoyed "Daybreakers" and it's from the same creator.
To say I was deeply disappointed is an understatment. I am not in the habit of switching films off after 15-20 minutes but I had to with this one. 15-20 minutes was very generous on my part.
My review title says it all about this one.

Undead
This Australian zombie flick provides some decent gore, and some amusing moments, but doesn't deliver enough of what it does well, and doesn't deliver much else. Read more
