What is this about and why such low ratings?

It's *beep*

It hasn't got a single original idea of it's own and adds nothing to further the horror genre, zombie genre or survival horror genre.

It takes it's ideas from films like fortress, resident evil, running man, survivor - series 7 and does nothing to improve on them.

Whoever wrote it clearly played the game Smash TV as a child, you can see what they stole from that too.

Is it good movie or bad one

This is one of the really low budget, worse than basic cable quality movies that is so very, very bad it is actually kind of fun. It felt to me like a really bad 1970's made-for-tv movie with a terrible script full of four letter words. Every plot point was predictable. You didn't care about any of the characters.

It was just fun to see all these boring, worthless actors get eaten by zombies with makeup so bad it looked like a high school zombie play.

Watch on cable. Skip if you have to pay money. Good with beer and pizza.

Caught part of it on cable. The description was
"Ten contestants on a remote desert island compete for the chance to win a $50 million prize; however, little do they know, the ultimate prize is staying alive.


Of the part I saw it had plenty of zombies and low budget action.

Horrible acting... cheap special effects. Not original. This movie is crap!

I don't believe it to be bad as in, crap. Difficult to watch without laughing is a better description.

I would really have to say the dialog is pretty awful. I mean, who really ACTS that way? There's also a lack of focus of what the director wanted to achieve. "Is this a video game? Is this a survivor parody? Is this a zombie flick? Is this a gameshow?"

It has some redeeming qualities. The video game scoring system is cool at first, but then gets distracting and annoying. And the fight scenes aren't half bad.

That's about it.

If you watch it for the campy, b-movie ridiculousness it's supposed to be, it's great. Very fun flick to watch. Even funny.

If you go into it thinking it will be a serious horror film, you deserve every ounce of disappointment that you get.

I think most of the folks who've already replied have put it pretty well. It's as if someone bought Adobe Premiere Pro and found a bunch of off-gray greasepaint, got together with a hand-full of his or her college buddies and promised them beer if they spent an afternoon making a movie.

If you watch it after House of the Dead or Bloodrayne though, it may seem fantastic. I watched it as background noise while I checked my e-mail and it was harmless enough. May even be a riot if you've had more than a few and are looking for a really bad movie to MST3K.
