This very watchable zombie movie is way underrated


this movie has an outrageously low rating. Come on. It deserves about a 6.0 or thereabouts.
No, this is not Citizen Kane or The Godfather. But it is not deserving of
such a low rating.

Yes, it has a low budget, and some of the acting is not that great.

But the script is not too bad. And the directing was OK.

THis is a watchable movie. Believe me, I see a lot of movies, and many movies
I do not even want to watch, and I turn them off. MOST movies I see, I do not
finish watching. This movie, I finished.

This movie was bad. And I mean B.A.D.
I managed to see the whole thing, and what I sat with after I cannot explain. The movie was really terrible, it gave me completely nothing except for me feeling sorry for myself, for watching this piece of garbage.

I have seen tons of bad movies, and I sit through all of them. And this is honestly one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It doesn't matter that it had a low budget, it was made in 2007. You just can't expect a movie to be this bad in 2007. I guess they blew all their money on the intro scene with the meteor, rather then buying zombie makeup.

And the characters? Jesus christ, it became impossible to like any of them.

Do not watch it. It wouldn't surprise me if you were the director, cryofan.


Edit: And yeah, I love zombiefilms and oldschool B-movies. They consist of probably 75% of what i view. Just so some random zombie-fan wont blabber about me not being hardcore enough to enjoy this.

I totally agree. I saw this movie just 10 minutes ago and I have to say: what a total load of crap. The stupid meteor should have hit the guy who got an idea for this film. He should go fornicate himself with a long, pointy object.

And what the hell, they are without food for few hours and the first thing they worry in zombie-infested world is: "Can I eat these chips for breakfast?". The ending then? Wohoo, I'm going to spoil your "fun" whoever hasn't yet seen this: they get drunk, start shooting blindly and for some reason drive away from shelter and supplies. That wasn't even an ending, it was just a sign saying: "Umm, we like run out of money so... yeah. Here's the end and stuff, I guess."

Seriously, this movie sucks big time.

I feel brain-raped..

It was pretty lame, but I sort of enjoyed it because it involved zombies...

I hate to tell you this Don Sten but you are an idiot. If you had even paid attention to the movie you would have known that the only supplies they had at that place were what was in the truck the macho guy brought back. They were going to go to his farm which has walls and then they were going to grow their food from there. Dumbass.

I know I'm totally biased as I am a huge Sabrina Gennarino fan, but I agree! this is just pure entertainment. Its not that bad at all. I expected worse quite frankly. There are hundreds of movies that are worse IMO. But that's what this is all about isn't it. Everyone's own opinion. I thought they did a great job with an age old concept. Is it Oscar Worthy, uh, no. But still fun and definitely entertaining.

Yeah I have to agree, what you have here is a great B Movie? What were people expecting? The story makes since if you have a brain and follow it and the acting is a lot better then most b movies and even some big blockbusters. I watched this with a bunch of my sorority sisters on our horror night and we laughed and screamed and had a great time. Some good blood and guts, and a most unusual twist to the zombie genre.
I love zombies!!!!!!!!! This is a great combination of sci-fi and zombie genres. The story is a little like "Day of the Dead" and a bunch of people are trapped and have to try and deal with each other and of course the zombies. The action starts right away and doesn't take 30 minutes to set up the plot.
The Characters are some what generic stock characters, but I did actually like the porn star mom and the bible guy. The Mom had some of the best lines in the movie. The bible boy was so creepy and had the best... I don't want to spoil it. I wanted to see more of them and the car salesman too.
I say rent it, watch it, and have a good time. I did! Hi to South Carolina!

This is pure crap. I would say this was no better than a Uwe Boll movie. Then again, maybe that's the kind of crap you like.
1.5/10

I gave the movie a higher rating that it is sitting at just now. I have seen it twice [the second time was only half an hour ago]. It was in a boxset with two other movies. The boxset: [1] Zombies Zombies Zombies, [2] The Zombie Diaries, [3] Days Of Darkness. Now if anyone says Days of Darkness is the worst zombie movie ever. It only goes to prove their inexperiance at watching zombie movies. That is fact, not opinion, but fact.

This movie isn't amazing, it is good though. But watch movies like Zombie Bloodbath, Zombiegore, Zombie Planet, Zombies Zombies Zombies, Hood of the Living Dead, Ankle Biters, Ghost Lake, Strange Things Happen At Sundown, ect. And only then shall you see what crap is.

There are a hell of a lot worse movies out there than this. This is a decent enough movie in it's own rights.

HAHA, the movie was actually interesting to me up to the point i think where that alien foetus became big within minutes.

The religious guy kissed the gay guy and killed him off. Then he lied to steve saying the alien killed him.

Before this it was interesting and unique. After that it kind of felt like they got no more ideas, no more money, ran out of basically everything. And then the ending is like WTF, thank goodness this is a rental dvd. Me and my bf didnt bought it! LOL!
