The only reason I bothered to rent this is because I am on a personal quest to watch every zombie movie ever made. So since this has "zombies" in the title, someone recommended it to me. When I find that person, I will beat them senseless with their own DVD player. How bad can a movie get? I've seen college projects that came out better than this. The director seems to have forgotten how to cut away from one scene to the next, preferring to "FADE TO BLACK" every two minutes. There's at least one part where it appears they're trying to film a music video--an entire song plays while disconnected scenes come and go with no dialogue and make no sense to the plot or the song whatsoever. And it's apparent the Plot Summary here was written by someone involved with the pic--"neatly cobbled"? Try "completely hobbled" both genres. Most times I can't understand what most of the characters are saying--either the "background" music is too loud, or they're just plain mumbling. This film is only one step above the worst movie you've seen so far, because I'm not familiar with your viewing habits, dear Reader, and while it is NOT the WORST movie ever made, it's definitely near the bottom.

Unlike most of the "modern" zombie movies like Dawn of the Dead, the zombies in this film are people under mind control and commit acts of suicide and/or murder after receiving a call on their cell phones. I can relate, I had the same urge while watching this crud.

Plot: Something about mind control, government agents, drug dealers and undercover cops. Hard to follow, not because it's a complex story, it's just that trying to follow the awful editing, sound, cinematography, acting, etc makes it not worth the effort. It's so jumbled and incoherent that I gave up trying and started counting the slats in my window blinds, I have 26 of them.

Acting: The "actors" kept sneaking glances at the camera while woodenly mumbling random, made up sentences, well, the ones I could actually hear.

Casting: The drug dealers look about as harmless as puppies and the undercover cops couldn't crack a case unless it was labeled 'Budweiser'. The top government agent appears to have picked his clothes out in the 70's while on vacation in Panama.

Dialogue: I dunno, couldn't hear most of it.

Sound: Two flavors 1). So low you have to turn up the volume all the way and then ... 2). Scrambling to turn it down when someone yells, or hellishly loud rock and rap blasts you out of your peaceful slumber.

Lighting: None, nature provides it all. I guess that helps stretch the budget a bit further.

Editing: Slowly fade to black and slowly fade back in. Repeat.

Music: Extremely loud rap or heavy metal with very explicit language. Your neighbors are gonna love hearing this while you frantically reach for the volume control. None of the songs seemed connected to the movie in any way, and were chosen for no obvious reason.

Cinematography: Hand held camcorder with all the fuzzy, grainy, out of focus fun that goes with it.

Special effects: It's amazing what a $3.00 "Halloween Makeup Kit" from Walgreens can do for your film.

Overall: 1 out of 10 stars. I gave it a pity point because at least they had the wisdom to have one not-too-bad looking gal give us a few flashes, it helps a bit. Also, the lowest score you can give is one, so I had no choice.
