Disaster L.A.

Well let me set it off. The zombie make up was not realistic, in fact it looked like one zombie had a bunch of wet paper towels on his face. Even if it's an independent film have the decency to throw money into it because this film was crap. I was not scared and there was not really any excitement. Half way threw the film we turned it off. I do not like zombie films to begin with and Disaster la definitely did not win me over. This is indeed a boring film. I had to slam a lot of wicked red drinks in order to place the disk in the tray but I did it. I wanted them all to die, the friend died in front of them for some reason but the other characters didn't seem to care. I found out that before renting the film that 1 guy does everything in the film. It was all for a waste sir.

The Plot:

After a meteor shower strikes Los Angeles, toxic smoke is released across the city causing people to physically change and become violent.

A small group of survivors plans to vacate the city by heading to the coast.

Isn't that always the way?

The REALLY good news regarding this movie is that it's not one of those first person cam films that are so played out. However, much, if not all of it is filmed with a shaky cam which I so hate.

The first quarter of the movie is well done. It's a good build to the disaster and the special effects are not cringe worthy, so it's cool.

The move to finding out about the "zombies" happens slowly leading to a build in tension. But then comes the first zombie attack and you start to think things are about to go south. Everyone is way too calm in the face of the flesh eater.

So roughly a third into the film your thinking this is going to start sucking. And you start realizing the acting isn't all that great.

And it isn't. Things rapidly go down hill.

Could have been a really good movie with some extra thought.

I have seen some bad movies in my time but oh my god, who wrote this sentimental drivel. Zombies everywhere or so you would think in a city of 3.8 million, a day after a zombie outbreak and you see a massive hoard of about 12 zombies on the streets. The characters kept stopping to tell each other they loved each other every 5 minutes on the empty streets walking everywhere in a city of ohh 3.8 million cars they could not find one car and keep it for longer than 1 minute. They ran around with no weapons except their love for each other. In a city full of ohh 3.8 million guns. Two of the lovely heroes attacked 3 zombies one with a 2 by 4 piece of wood and the other with a walkie talkie. Walking dead eat your heart out. There was helicopters everywhere in the sky but not one cop or soldier on the street. Just hooded zombies and two zombies in what looked like surgical gowns. They must have shared the wardrobe. I think it was the only movie i saw that i was hoping the whole cast would die. I think its because they deserved to die coz they were stupid. Nuff said.

This movie is kinda odd,it starts off like one of those "Meteor Movies " with a sci-fi things happening at first ,then shifts to action/horror.Like a good made for SyFi channel movie ,the acting is o.k. ,the story is basic enough to not get lost in ,the people that did it ,on such a low budget ,did it with decent camera work,lighting ,and sound...all o.k. ,with good production values.Not a whole lot of gore,it still has some sauce splashin around ,with the zombie action.Nothing fancy ,just what goes with this shoddy little survival story.A few lame moments were forgiven ,and it ended like i could tell it would.Basic ,by-the-numbers Sci-fi -action /zombie /meteor movie, with very little (if ANY ?) cursing ,or nudity.It might have got a 4 from me if it had a different something going for it...like say , Dead Shadows did ,that one rocked .....

This is by far the worst zombie movie we've reviewed in some time. Though the movie comes with a halfway decent budget with stable acting the creativity of the movie went in the trash. The Zombies are far and few in between, the concept of what creates a zombie was all over the board and simply annoying. If they took one more break in the movie to reflect on what they should do next and discuss their feelings I was going to lose it. Honestly after 20 minutes of the movie all I wanted was to see the entire cast turned into a zombie smorgasbord. Many zombie movies are dumping onto the scene, many new concepts are also arising - Disaster LA is simply that, a DISASTER! Don't waste your time with this one.
