Wonderfully offbeat film!

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

First off, this is not connected to the Resident Evil franchise, nor should the title throw you off in case you're thinking of the original title of the franchise, Biohazard. This is an independent take on the genre of bio weaponry and government conspiracy, plain and simple. It's very scientific with necessary awkward moments that are showcased nicely with a decent acting performance.This film is an hour and 8 minutes long, and as short and sweet as the running time, the plot is straightforward, but that's the plot. This short underground film is meant to administer a cerebral punch to your thinking brain if you pay close attention to the dialogue.If anything, this alternate version of something made popular is best seen as a homage to anything and everything zombie fandoms that mostly involve a scientific explanation. This isn't a zombie flick nor an attempt to do something better than what's out there. Underground films and fan-made material can surprise you with the detail between the plot scenes, but most people fail to appreciate certain entertainment products. This movie's an example of this. The writers and producers had a mandate to ensure that this was not designed for general appeal, which means mediocrity isn't fit to criticize unless you speak the language of the themes of the movie. It also manages to keep the zombie genre fresh by using a simplistic script design.This deserves a solid 8.

Actually I will start out by saying that "Biohazard: Patient Zero" turned out to be somewhat better than I had initially anticipated. True that I didn't have much hopes for this movie, fearing that it would be yet another one of those low budget zombie movies with awful make-up.However, "Biohazard: Patient Zero" turned out to be entertaining enough. And while it wasn't as much of a zombie movie as I had hoped or would have liked, it still proved to be a watchable movie.The story is quite simple, actually. It is about a Dr. Jonathan Wright (played by Brandon Slagle) and Dr. Jenna Barnes (played by Amanda Phillips) who works at a genetic research facility. However, they do more than just simple genetic research here, and when the bio-weapon is compromised, the entire facility comes under lockdown, and there is suddenly a real threat to the lives of everyone trapped inside.I will say that despite the simplicity of the storyline, then director Brian T. Jaynes actually managed to turn it into something that was entertaining enough.The movie, however, just wasn't outstanding or particularly memorable. I had expected more of a zombie movie, whereas "Biohazard: Patient Zero" turned out to be more of an outbreak movie. Sure, there were some infected people (or carriers) seen as the bio-weapon was released, but it just wasn't enough to keep a seasoned gorehound like myself satisfied. The ones that you see are merely just people with bloodshot eyes and theater blood on their faces and bodies. Of course, it would be like this as the outbreak had just started, but I just would have liked to have seen something more.As for the acting in "Biohazard: Patient Zero", well it was adequate. Although you shouldn't set yourself up for some award-winning performances here.All in all not an overly memorable movie, but still entertaining enough for what it was and for what director Brian T. Jaynes accomplished to muster together with fairly limited resources."Biohazard: Patient Zero" scores a four out of ten stars rating from me.

I find it nearly humorous that when I decided to view this movie it had a 7.7 on IMDb. After seeing the movie I was left with the feeling that the 27 ratings,at the time,were all put there by cast members. The movie lacks ANY depth or originality. It's another low budget film that employees actors with no real acting skill. The plot has been done in other movies...but with moderate success. I understand the concept of limited budgets in relation to movie production,but it seems like a Doc-in-the-box office was used for this level 4 bio-hazard facility. I would as soon people be honest and not dash to dupe people and make a few bucks since the backlash will cost more sales down the road as no one lies a set up and the review was clearly orchestrated and not an actual representation. I would advise against renting this movie at any time in our existence on this planet as the sheer level of acting it brings to the industry is liable to make people scream out in rage and never see another movie again :)

A lethal experimental virus gets unleashed in a secret government research facility and turns the bulk of the people trapped inside into deadly homicidal crazies. Will head scientists Dr. Jonathan Wright (superbly played by Brandon Slagle) and Dr. Jenna Barnes (a fine and appealing performance by Amanda Phillips) survive this harrowing ordeal and subsequently expose the government's cover-up of this incident? Writer/director Brian T. Jaynes relates the taut and riveting story at a constant brisk pace, takes time to carefully establish the well-drawn and likable main characters, generates a tremendous amount of nerve-rattling tension, creates a strong mood of mounting dread and unease, and delivers plenty of startling outbursts of bloody'n'brutal violence. The sturdy acting by the able cast keeps the picture humming: Slagle and Phillips make for excellent and engaging leads, with sound support from Van Quattro as a ruthless army major, Carl Savering as the no-nonsense Sheriff Klein, Natalie Wilemon as sweet lab assistant Liz, Larry Jack Dotson as scared local Marvin Johnson, Frederic Doss as a steely tactical commander, and Jackey Hall as perky secretary Kerri Klein. The grimly serious tone gives the movie an extra tough edge while the terse 68 minute running time ensures that it never gets dull or overstays its welcome. The crisp cinematography by Samuel Haun and John Marcinik provides an impressive polished look. Maigin Blank's pulsating score does the ominous trick. Very cool little flick.
