Wonderful character development!

Excellent, a Must See

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

After a radiation spill causes a massive apocalypse leaving most of mankind as ravenous zombies, several survivors try to survive barricaded inside a fortified casino until another group arrives looking for shelter against a newer breed that are far more dangerous and vicious coming for them.Overall, this one was a rather disappointing zombie effort that does have a decent parts to it. Among the better features on display here are the big action scenes here that showcase the zombies in this, as the few zombie attacks here feature a lot of positives. The initial outbreak of the group clearing out the different floors of the casino feature some really exciting scenes of the burgeoning zombie hordes all throughout the building including the kitchen and laundry room encounters as well as the searches on the different floors getting some rather fun action trying to get away from the creatures. Other big action scenes here are even better with their attempts to leave hampered by the size of the swarm that needs to be maneuvered around leaving this one with some exciting scenes of the horde chasing after them through the streets, into the abandoned cars and vehicles left by the side of the streets and being forced into the buildings along the way which makes these action scenes all the more fun and exciting. There's some good parts scattered throughout in the final twenty minutes here with the ravenous gunfights across the casino, plenty of gory action with a rather impressive storyline addition of cannibalistic zombies that are even faster, stronger and more vicious which eat other zombies, providing some solid suspense here in the race to get out which makes for a high-quality finish. That, along with some decent make-up that looks good at times allows this enough to be watchable but not to overcome the flaws here. Frankly, the biggest issue against this one is the fact that this one tends to spend an incredibly long amount of time on the interaction with the humans surviving inside the compound and their various issues with each other while the zombies, while still shown to be around, are basically given nothing to do. The attacks are so few and far between, with so little action during them anyway, that it's almost a drama about living in a zombie apocalypse than a true-blooded zombie film, which can get taxing as there's nothing interesting happening here with these people and their issues consistently keeping this one from moving along. Even though they're present this one never really lets them loose after they're barricaded inside which is somewhat off in a film like this. Added together with some atrocious CGI in unnecessary places and it has some problems, though this one does get enough right to save it.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

Director Colin Theys and screenwriter John Doolan have taken Steve Niles' graphic novel and created a world of havoc, chaos, and horror. In a brilliantly original concept, a zombie apocalypse has somehow taken place a small band of survivors have to fight for survival in this hostile world gone mad. A strong cast is simply outstanding with Grant Bowler and Evalena Marie giving particularly effective performances. Evalena is especially fine with her smoldering sexuality and take-care-of-business attitude. This is a complete unique and creative take on the zombie genre and one of the complex, exciting, and terrifying horror films ever made.

Hmmm..., let me start by saying that I'm a huge fan of the zombie apocalypse movie genre. Anyways, plot, some kind of explosion kills everybody and brings them back to life, more or less, to eat flesh and kill s***. A few people survive and barricade themselves in a run down piece of s*** casino hotel, where they fight to stay alive.Well..., now on to this crap. Firstly, the acting is over the top bland. And things just don't make sense. Like in one scene, they confront a zombie in an upstairs room. They don't kill it, they don't even trap it, they run away and then forget about it. It seems that in the piece of s*** world where this movie takes place, zombie don't attack if you don't think about them? And..., zombies sleep? Yeah, they sleep to replenish their already dead flesh and brains. I mean, come on, why wouldn't zombie's need sleep? This movie is pretty much just like any other run-of-the-mill, bottom-of-the-barrel zombie flick. The one thing that sets this movie apart from all the other piece of s*** low budget zombie flicks that the world is being flooded with now days is..., well..., nothing. Avoid this movie as if you would avoid somebody with airborne HIV.

I'm not going to dissect this movie frame by frame because it's so bad that I don't want to waste more of my time on it than I already have.Bottom line, the only thing fairly good about this was the zombie makeup, THAT'S IT! The acting was atrocious. Miko Hughes....oh how we miss the Miko from Mercury Rising and dare I say it...Pet Semetary (yes he acted much better in that movie than he did in this one). Lance Reddick, I loved you in The Wire but why did you even do this movie? Couldn't have been for the money and it sure wasn't for the script.The plot was ridiculous (yes I know it was from a Graphic Novel but if that was any good, then the screenwriters really SUCKED). Sleeping zombies? Give me a break. Why didn't the 3-4 zombies at the end devour that girl totally (don't tell me, zombies get FULL too). Not to mention she didn't even look like she had any bites taken out of her. Who's the brain who reviewed that scene and said....yeah that makes sense.Anyway I could go on but someone else on the message board went into much more details. I'm sure he's wishing he had that time back too.Don't see this movie. You will only hate yourself in the morning or even sooner.
