Perfectly adorable

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

A different way of telling a story

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

After buying this film, I was dismayed to learn it was sold on dvd-rs. After trying the disc, I learned I was sold the wrong product. No fun splatter gore film for me. Instead I got a disc containing some kind of inspirational college courses. I cannot comment on the merit of the film, obviously, but I can however state that DoppleGanger Films are scam artists, and I wouldn't recommend purchasing anything from them. I will NOT be seeking this film out again, apologies to the filmmakers, but maybe handle your business a bit better next time?

"To kako - Stin epohi ton iroon" is the second movie of "To kako" and in my opinion this movie is better than the first because it has many ancient dialogs between the actors who actually speaks ancient Greek and that was something which none expected to see. Again we have a big cast of actors who are popular in Greece and some of them and abroad.This movie starts from the last movie's end. These people who survived from the zombies have now to do their best to survive not only from them but also from some people who got crazy and kill them all for no reason. Finally the thing that I liked the most in this movie was the connection between the ancient Athens and Athens now days and how this connection will play a key role to the evolution of the movie.

I absolutely respect that the filmmakers did a fine job with the budget that they had, and its very clear that everybody involved had a great time making this movie. And you know what? Good on them! I'm glad they took something so ridiculous and cheesy and just ran with it, having a blast along the way; but this film is surely not for everyone and in the end wasn't for me. In many regards it is clear that "Evil in the Time of Heroes" was simply meant to entertain, and to a degree it certainly succeeded. I laughed and gasped and had a half-decent time (not a stellar/memorable time mind you). However, when all is said and done I found this particular venture into the realm of ridiculous horror was too stylized and ambitious for its own good.For starters, I think it can be easily argued that "Evil in the Time of Heroes" works as an experimental film more than anything and as such I can honestly say you will more than likely hate this experience if you are not familiar with this type of filmmaking. This film is literally all over the place. It jumps back and forth between modern times to ancient times, between current events to hours/days/minutes/seconds ago, and after a certain point it just becomes clear that the film doesn't really know when or where it needs to focus and truly doesn't care. This is fine to an extent, but it also becomes slightly frustrating and eventually grows stale.As such, "Evil in the Time of Heroes" is a definitive example of the hand-held shakiness, quick cutting, fast paced, bizarre camera angles, seemingly direction-less style which seems to pop up every once in a while (even in mainstream cinema like with "Crank" and "Crank 2: High Voltage"... only amplified).Furthermore, it becomes clear that one may not even be able to fully appreciate the themes and jokes without some understanding of Greek history and modern life in Athens. Of course there is a large degree of slapstick humour, situational comedy, and an overall absurd awkwardness which can be enjoyed by all. And I certainly valued those aspects. But the completely random pacing of the film, coupled with the preposterous actions its characters take and the bizarre situations that occur, are sometimes a little too much to choke down.So take this review as a little forewarning on what to expect. "Evil in the Time of Heroes" is NOT your typical horror-comedy along the lines of "Shaun of the Dead", "Dead Alive", "Night of the Creeps", "Re-Animator", "Return of the Living Dead" etc. It is something entirely different... ABSURDLY different. With this in mind, perhaps you will enjoy the film for what it is!

This sequel of the 2005 movie has the same purpose as the first one:It's there to entertain,it's not a horror film it's a zombie parody, a Greek everyday parody, an ancient Greek parody.When I saw this, everyone was laughing in the theater.It's a FUN movie,gore is everywhere in a ridicule way,heads are popping in the screen all the time, the lines are simple but quite entertaining with pop culture references flying all the way,we see zombies in mantles and tunics ,the scenario is 100% predictable but really,who cares?-Don't see it if you want to feel horror emotions-Don't see it if you want to see any depth in scenario /character development.-Don't see it if you want to see any Hollywood-like effects.-Don't see it if you want to see astonishing actors and actBut I highly recommend it to any (Greek) that wants to have 88 really awesome minutes.The visual effects are good for Greek standards ,bit comic like deaths,but you can see the increase in budget to the first movieArgyris Thanasoulas (Argyris) and Antreas Kontopoulos ( Lt.Vakyrtis) are the only notable actors that play above average, the rest (big crew) is mediocre at best.The story begins on the end of the First ''Kako'' movie.The survivors meet up with a group of other barricaded survivors and they not only need to take care of the zombies but other random Greek that have taken advantage of the chaos and shoot random moving targets (zombie or not). In the meantime we take small flashbacks into ancient Greece where the zombie apocalypse has happened as well and we learned about how they faced them.In my opinion this is the way Greek cinema should move on. We will never have the CGI or the scenario background or the huge budgets to go face to face with international movies,so we rather parody them.As for foreign people ,you might get a DVD release of this sooner or later in the US,I'd only suggest you if you really want to see every zombie movie out there since the Greek jokes and culture references might not touch you.
