The movie rocked! (MAYBE SPOILERS)


OK, let me just say I have a very good downloaded copy, and I watched it in French. My French is execrable (comes from a few years in the UN DPKO as well as international work), but I understood about 80% of the dialogue, which isn't all that important.

I thought the mad Legionnaire was a nice touch, and the special effects when he opens up on the zombies with the machine gun were quite good. Lame grenade blast though. I've seen enough real ones.

As for the rest of the actors, they did a fine job, I thought. Aurore seemed to be quite vicious and have a history of messing with people's heads. Even the gangsters seemed to have some personality.

I guess my only criticism is that it would have been nice to even have a 10 or 15 second explanation of what turned all these people into zombies, but for now it's left to the imagination.

I thought overall the action was good and I have to say, it kept my attention for the full span of the movie. I'd like to see more from this crew. Well done!

I have to agree, what a great film

Yeah, scary zombies. Unlike that awful movie, Survival of the Dead.

You're right, unlike those awful "smart" zombies in Land of the Dead or the "trying to imitate what they did when they were alive"zombies in Survival of the Dead, these were more like the awesome zombies from 28 days/weeks later

I didn't think it was amazing, but it was a SATISFYING film. Plenty of action, violence, etc. Not as good as Zack Sydner's "Dawn of the Dead" remake, which is the king of zombie action films, but way better than the majority of the other new zombie movies.

i think every zombie movie to date has left something be desired...heres to hoping the "perfect" zombie film if you will is coming in the near future
