Project Eugenics: Good ideas, bad execution
8 September 2017
At the time of writing this movie has only been seen by 11 IMDb members so considering it's now a two year old film that raises eyebrows.

Within moments I found myself oddly drawn in, this film had some ideas and I was thoroughly entertained.

The movie bounces around telling several stories then gradually connects them. Sadly some parts are a lot stronger than others and very few end well.

It's been a while since I've seen a movie quite so on the pulse, it's social commentary is fantastic and it embraces the "Left & right" politics perfectly.

Sadly when it comes to the zombies it fails badly, in that there really isn't much in that regard and when it happens its poorly done and in some places painfully thought out.

At its core Project Eugenics has some great ideas but the movie is so spotty that it fails to deliver on them.

High potential squandered, and for a while I was thinking this was going to be the next best zombie movie I'd seen since Wyrmwood (2014). Never mind *Sadface*

The Good:

Some very good writing

Excellent social commentary

The Bad:

Gun effects are laughable

To be continued ending! Really?

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

When zombies break into your home they are respectful enough to shut doors behind them

During the zombie apocalypse it makes sense to leave your door unlocked

When concerned about limited ammo it should be used to scare off humans seeking aid but not to kill zombies

When investigating whether a zombie has gotten into your house give your only gun away before checking it out

Zombies randomly get glowing red eyes
