Zombie Undead

Funny how this movie scored such low rating. I am a huge zombie aficionado, but I must say that "Zombie Undead" is not amongst the worst of zombie movies that I have seen. Yeah, this was low budget, and yeah it was amateurish, but the director did a fair enough job, and the actors and actresses in the movie seemed to have fun and seemed to be in it for the love of zombie movies.

Story-wise, then "Zombie Undead" is as generic and textbook as it comes. A group of people become trapped in the hospital during a strange outbreak that causes the dead to come back to life (well, sort of) and with a ravenous hunger for living flesh.

Everything in the movie was straight out of the 'How to make a zombie movie for dummies' book, I will say that much. But still, it was done with a clear ambition and a clear motivation for the zombie genre, and that was what held the movie afloat.

Yes, there were flaws in the movie, obvious and bad flaws that should have been caught in the editing room. For starters, the woman being devoured in a hospital room blinked in one scene. And also in the lavatory scene, you could clearly see the camera man reflected in the metallic hand dryer apparatus on the wall. And also Michael, Jay's younger brother, well you saw his eyes fluttering underneath the closed eyelids, even when he was supposed to be dead.

But still, the movie was a well-meant attempt, and I think they pulled it off nice enough. Sure, this isn't the kind of movie that you will watch a second time around, as the movie just didn't have that much to offer. But for a low budget movie it wasn't too shabby.

There is a fair amount of blood and gore in the movie. Mind you, that the effects here were well-meant, but came off a bit questionable and not overly believable.

There are far worse low budget zombie movies out on the market. And "Zombie Undead" is worthy enough of a watching late at night if you are having a zombie marathon and is starting to run out of major Hollywood produced zombie movies.

After 45 minutes of "Zombie Undead" I fell asleep. Woke up 10 minutes later, renamed it "Directors family & friends in extremely bad make up" - and didn't bother to rewind, as the 10 minutes of sleep probably saved me from further agony. I just wanted it to be over and forgotten as soon as possible - just as the careers of anyone who had anything to do with this "film". Listening to paint dry is more entertaining than this, having my left arm ripped right out of the socket is less painful than watching this, watching snails crawl across a piece of cabbage is more exciting than this, a fart in outer space has more impact than this, a deaf hamster with one eye and a wooden leg can act better than this...etc. etc...you get the general idea? Just stay away...

I cannot for the life of me begin to understand why i watched this film in it's entirety.

The acting was so bad that i'm left wondering how this even passed for a film.

First 15, i hated the lead character and felt she was simply pathetic.

Next 30 i was getting extremely bored and well, i was extremely bored.

The rest i just thought to myself, this is BAD, BAD, BAD and BAD.

It is obvious that the extras in this film voted this up to a 5.9 because i'm sure that even the actors would not have voted due to it being BAD.

1 out of 10 for film and, oh stuff it, 1 out of 10 is all your going to get, if i could vote negative 10 i would.

In the vast sea of zombie flicks, there are gems that shine bright, showcasing creativity, suspense, and genuine horror. And then there are films like "Zombi Undead," a murky and forgettable addition to the genre that does little more than shuffle aimlessly through tired tropes and clichés.

From the very first frame, "Zombi Undead" fails to ignite any semblance of intrigue or excitement. The plot, if it can even be called that, is a convoluted mess of half-baked ideas and poorly executed scenes stitched together incoherently. It feels like the filmmakers threw every zombie-related concept into a blender without bothering to craft a coherent narrative.

The characters, or caricatures rather, are as lifeless as the zombies they're supposed to be fleeing from. With dialogue that ranges from cringe-inducing to downright laughable, it's hard to root for or even care about any of them. The lack of character development leaves the audience indifferent to their fates, which is a cardinal sin in any horror film.

One of the most egregious sins committed by "Zombi Undead" is its utter disregard for basic principles of filmmaking. Scenes are poorly lit, camera angles are haphazardly chosen, and the editing is so choppy it's disorienting. It's as if the filmmakers were actively trying to make their audience feel nauseous, both mentally and physically.

And let's not even get started on the special effects. Or lack thereof. The zombies look like they stumbled out of a thrift store Halloween bargain bin, with makeup so cheap and unconvincing that it's more likely to elicit giggles than screams. Even the blood and gore, staples of any good zombie film, are rendered with all the finesse of a child finger-painting.

In conclusion, "Zombi Undead" is a film best avoided by even the most ardent zombie aficionados. Its lack of originality, poor execution, and overall incompetence make it a painful experience from start to finish. Save yourself the agony and spend your time on something more deserving of your attention.

This movie was an all that bad I watched it was entertaining reaction was half-decent wasn't the greatest I don't know why everybody hates on it so much I wasn't disappointed I watched it let's put it that way
