Review of Zombie Apocalypse

Unbelievable… I have approximately 460 movie titles queuing up in my watch list, of which probably 450 are much better than "Zombie Apocalypse", and yet I'm wasting my precious time on this worthless and irredeemably awful piece of junk. I even swore that I would stop watching the nowadays zombie-infestation flicks all together, because they're basically all the same. It always goes like: some kind of unknown but tremendous and fatal virus wipes out 90 to 99% of the earth's population and causes the dead to resurrect as zombies with an insatiable hunger for human brains. Subsequently, a small group of survivors – usually people that cannot stand each other – huddles together and travels from one desolate region to the other, hoping to reach that one magical place where the uninfected still have the upper hand. Throughout their journey, there are several bloody encounters with hordes of zombies. During each encounter, one of the group members theatrically dies but other survivors might join and reinforce the group. "Zombie Apocalypse" is a production of the infamous The Asylum studios, so quality-seeking horror fanatics already know to avoid this one. The Asylum stands for rapid and cheaply produced flicks that don't feature an actual plot but showcase a whole series of the world's worst digital and computer engineered special effects. The blood in this movie, for example, appears to be some sort of red dust that vaporizes almost instantly. Apart from the opening sequences – which actually mislead you to believe for about three minutes that "Zombie Apocalypse" might become something endurable – there's never any remote attempt to build up tension or atmosphere, and the characters (every single one of them) are the biggest and most idiotic stereotypes imaginable. The Asylum also specializes in demolishing the already ruined careers of washed up actors even further (I'm looking at you, Ving Rhames). Near the finale, when I barely even bothered to stay awake, the whole thing gets completely retarded as Ving Rhames has to battle zombie tigers in the harbor (I kid you not).
