First fo all, I am a huge Zombie fan. I read that this one was shot in Kansas, and almost got it confused with the far superior Zombie Bloodbath 3: Zombie Armageddon, also shot in the Kansas area. I am sure these film-makers knew they were stealing the title as Zombie Armageddon was made three years before this film, maybe four. So I was a bit confused at first, thinking it may be a simply retitle of a film I already had.
I was wrong. This one is a zero budget effort with some good make-up and a few good ideas that somehow goes horribly wrong. Ari Bavel I see was also in this film. He was in Zombie Armageddon too!!! Now I KNOW the people behind this film knew of the other film. Nothing like a rip off. But again, I wanted to give it a chance. I still have no idea what I watched. No plot really. Some bad cops do bad things and zombies show up. There's a few seconds of OK gore and tones of Cameos by B-Movie vets. I sent an e-mail to Ed Neal asking WHY and he said he was suckered. I have no idea what that means but it's a waste. For some reason Tom Savini shows up for 3 seconds to play Jesus!! Again, no idea what it's about and all the horror Cameos in the world does not make up for the fact that it smells like bad fish - el stinko. Maybe they should have used more energy on a script or making a film rather than driving back and forth to an airport and paying for all the Cameos. Just not a good film, it has long stretches of dull talking and bad composition and lighting. I urge more people to take longer on the script. It really does make a difference. And never bore an audience.
It opens with the worst director that is allowed a budget to work with in my memory, Uwe Boll (House Of The Dead) telling us how bad this movie stinks. Nice intro. And if anyone should know, Uwe should know.
