Am I Missing Something?

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

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.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Osama Bin Laden has secretly been making zombies for his newest biological weapons. When troops storm into his bunker he injects himself with the zombie serum. The soldiers shoot him and transport his body in a plane. He becomes a zombie mid flight making the plane crash into the ocean thus releasing Osombie.This thing was ridiculous. All kinds of zombies are walking around in the desert when an American team gets there and just starts shooting them like its a video game. They don't even question the fact that they are zombies. So now expert zombie killers they cut across the desert looking for Bin Laden with lots of CGI blood. The woman soldier has a samurai sword on her back. Why a Seal unit would carry that is beyond me but you just knew they had to incorporate into a scene.This wasn't very politically correct or any good really. Just one long boring video game.

Osombie, the story of a group of marines and a yoga instructor who stranded in Iraq hunting down Middle Eastern zombies. On the surface this sounds like a dumb, implausible and annoying movie but in reality this is entertaining from start to finish. It's original, the dialogue is fluid and realistic, the graphics are great though fairly cheesy and dangers the team is put in is refreshing. From team members turning into zombies while holding grenades to fighting zombies in a land mine field to having zombies on one side and enemy soldiers on the other this is a great and relentless action flick.I expected this to be a dumb afternoon matinée but by the end of it I was ready to buy it off amazon. It's easily one of the best zombie films I've seen in a long time and I make no exaggeration in saying I've seen all of them.The team is logical and realistic without any typical movie drama and a complete lack of stupid typical movie mistakes. There's no pointless nudity, no unnecessary language and the gore is kept in control which is just amazing to have in a modern zombie flick.This is a really great flick and should be watched by anyone who enjoys action or zombie flicks. I really can't express how surprised I am by this and how much I recommend it.

It was only a matter of time for the movies to start flowing in regarding the killing of Osama Bin Laden. This year showcased three different films, but only one stepped out of the world of the truth and into the world of zombies to deliver a fun take on this important moment in history, Ozombie. The trailers offered a peek into what could be a pretty fun film, but will it deliver or just be another goofy spoof? Ozombie follows a group of NATO special-forces on a special assignment that alongside a yoga instructor in search of her conspiracy theory brother who believes Bin Laden is still alive despite being buried at sea. To their shock he has returned from his watery grave and is making an army of zombie terrorists. Now they must kill Bin Laden again and stop the zombie insurgence before it infects the rest of the world. This film pretty much delivers the silly nature you would expect, but not the quality. They had a perfect opportunity to deliver a fun take on this moment in history with plenty of action and zombie gore, but instead ended up delivering more of a Syfy original movie style film that is almost laughable in a bad way. Much like most of these sorts of films, the acting is pretty bad and there never seems to be a sense of urgency for the onslaught of zombies. There is a quick explanation to attempt to tie everything together, but never really fleshes it out. For the most part this is non-stop action, which would have still worked perfectly well had they spent a little more time on the action itself. Most of it worked OK, but when it's supposed to be a Special Forces unit, they need to look like they have a bit better skills than your average soldier.For all this films flaws it's still pretty fun if you enjoy some good cheese. They used way too much CGI blood instead of practical effects, but still deliver a decent zombie body count pretty much non-stop throughout. If you're a fan of films from the Asylum or SyFy then you will most likely have a great time with this one as well. If you can step away ignoring the bad acting and lame effects, there is still a fun film here to enjoy.

Firstly, and let's get this straight for those people reading these reviews in order to see "just how bad it is" before buying it at Tesco for eight quid, 'Osombie' is very good indeed.Yeah, you read that right. It's very good. But, but, but, you say- it's cheap! It's about Bin Laden's return from the grave! It looks a right laugh! It's a zombie movie for the luvvapete! HOW CAN IT BE GOOD?, you scream. Well, it is. Very. Here we have a Kickstarter funded action horror film with high production values, a cinematographer with an artist's eye for composition, glorious zombie makeups, a cast evidently having a whale of a time and who seem to be proper actors who are good at their jobs, a script that takes the whole thing seriously without winking at the audience like an episode of The Chuckle Brothers but which is also warm and witty and satirical at times, and a thousand and one splattery zombie headshots. Admittedly, the majority of those splattery zombie headshots are cg- but in this case the old ZX Spectrums are used so well, we can forgive that- if only due to the sheer volume of blood spilled. More zombies are put down on screen here than, I think, in the entirety of Romero's six films so far. And there's not a crap zombie in the mix.Aficionados of the much-maligned zombie subgenre will find much to love here- I'd say it was one of my favourite such movies of the last few years- and certainly up there with the Ford Brothers' 'The Dead', if for completely different reasons.I urge anyone browsing in Tesco to pick this up. You will never spend a better eight pounds.
