O.k so normally I avoid straight to DVD horrors like the plague (I love the old school cheapo video stuff but this shot on video garbage we see today is really nauseating) unless instructed to do otherwise by a trusted source of info. After reading the synopsis I was intrigued I'm a huge fan of zombie cinema (I know there not strictly "stenches" but you've got to take what you get these days) and also a hip-hop head so seeing Big Daddy Kane and E-Fonzarelli in the cast led me to take a risk and watch this film. I must say I was pleasantly surprised, with a little more financial backing and solid acting this could have done the rounds at cinemas everywhere especially after the strong showing of films such as the Dawn remake and more recently 28 weeks later. Big Daddy Kane was a pleasure to watch as the hunter, while Kanes no Brando he glides along on the charisma hes's shown since his rap heyday. The plot is tight and original the blending of genres here mesh well although heist films and zombie films often take on a siege setting so it isn't much of a stretch. The acting is decent and the direction although derivative is of a certain standard. The only real let down of the film is the special effects and make up it's really bog standard and the final scene is really let down by this. The films run time is only around 75 mins so it rarely has the chance to slow down and begin to annoy.

All in all it was a good effort all round maybe 6 is too generous of a rating seeing as some classic films fail to hit that mark on the IMDb but it's early in the A.M i'm tired but happy so what the hell. Long Live The KANE

This film is perfect.I've just finished watching it and I was blown away. The direction is stunning with a war torn Vienna providing plenty of beautiful shots. The acting is stellar, Cotton is amazing and Welles further shows his genius here the cuckoo clock speech being but one high point. But the story itself is what makes this film so good i will not go in to any detail so please watch it. I highly recommend this film to all film fans.I'd go as far as to say after one viewing its in my top ten favourite films its really that good. Peace.
