Product Description
A car roars through the darkened country roads. Inside, a distraught Sarah is holding her stricken dad, Mark, desperately trying to stem the flow of blood. Having been re-directed to an Evacuation facility on the edge of town, Steve, an off-duty Paramedic is in a race against time fully aware that Marks chances of survival are rapidly slipping away. The scene that greets them on arrival is one of chaos. The floor, awash with blood, is covered with the bodies of the dying and injured, doctors dart back and forth, clearly overwhelmed. A violent convulsion causes Mark to lose consciousness, heart stopped he slumps to the floor. As the adrenalin needle slams into her Fathers heart Sarah stumbles back and her world fades to black. Upon regaining consciousness Sarah is greeted by the uneasy silence of a seemingly deserted building. Bleeding and dazed she stumbles through the darkened corridors unaware of the fate that awaits her...

Ok so the cover quote's George Romero saying he couldn't wait to see this film. This was probably a polite reply when one of the film makers said on facebook to him that they were making a zombie film, and more reminiscent of the marketing style of the Aum Shiva cult whose leader, Shoko Asahara, got a picture taken with the Dhalai Lama and then circulated the picture with a quote apparently from the Lama saying he (Shoko) had the heart of a Buddha. Great marketing- cue nerve gas attacks on the japanese underground and so you get the idea that maybe the Lama didn't say that at all or it was taken out of context- maybe he was being polite and you didn't see him cringe afterwards asking his aides how the hell shoko got into the bathroom anyway.
If people want to make films for themselves to star in, and they lack the ability to act, they should release them on you tube not on dvd. Fully support indie film making and I love zombie films so bought this dvd believing that the writers/director and producers all had the hearts of buddha. Quite appalling acting largely, although to be fair it does improve as does the film generally in the last 10-15 minutes when suddenly you can feel a pace. For the zombies they should have just pulled people off the street after a night out on the jagermeister rather than the Guild of street mime artists of Wisbech who can now afford to challenge the decision to evict them from their squat in court thanks to this gig.
If it wasn't for the incredibly misleading marketing (the cover might reflect what happens after the film and if you want to see the soldiers depicted you have to watch the credits) i might not feel so annoyed at having paid the same price or more for this film than most releases made by people who might have actually met the Dhalai Lama.

I didn't buy this from Amazon, but that only goes to show that I'm so disappointed with it that I'm actually doing all I can to warn people about this film.
I'm a fan of films about war and soldiers and such, so the DVD cover and a "screenshot" on the back piqued my interest. Soldiers fighting zombies? Cool. Kinda like Call of Duty. What really sold it was a quote allegedly from the legendary George A. Romero himself, saying that he couldn't wait to see this film. I think many people will agree that was the main reason they bought this DVD.
The film turns out to be 70-odd minutes of poor acting, nausiating camerawork and a story that is as fast-paced as a glacier. Not a gun in sight until the last 5 minutes or so. None of the screenshots from the DVD box actually feature in the film. Real zombies could have played the human characters with more enthusiasm and skill; the main character is played by an actress whose acting skills rely heavily on her ability to cry, the doctor doesn't give a damn about what's happening and the grandmother does nothing interesting until she gets herself killed. Avid zombie fans will be shocked by the lack of common sense the characters display.
So, if you're considering buying this: heed my warning. This DVD is a waste of time and money, but at least you can get the latter back.

I won't labour the point that you can't judge this film by it's DVD cover as another reviewer has pointed it out, but this film is squarely in the 'avoid' list, even for the most accommodating zombie fan.
I can't shake the impression that the film script was crafted around the gory FX gags that are peppered throughout the film. However as inventive or as claret-suffused as these practical effects are they are no substitute for the fundamentals of a good script, good characterisation and good acting.
If you want a good zombie yarn, invest in a copy of the remake of Dawn of the Dead or book an evening out to enjoy the superlative first series of The Walking Dead.
Zombies deserve better!
