Starts off with a almost unrelated scene of night vision commando strike taking out a few soldiers to gain intelligence (clearly never found in this film) . ...all quite optimistic so far.......
It then becomes an overly camp attempt at comedy horror with some of the worst overacting possible from one of the supposed soldiers. A 20 something woman playing a schoolgirl ........ A very odd looking pygmy black woman with the largest forehead I've seen .....who also happens to be pregnant after allegedly being raped, an overprotective nerdy father with erectile disfunction. A chav woman, a supposedly young boy who fancies the girl (who is clearly bald but tries to hide it with a combover). We then get a mess of storyline leading them to a school.
If this film had just decided on what film I was going to be it could have made a fairly good serious zombie film. The effects weren't too bad (if you forgive the overuse of cgi blood splatter. But instead they attempt to add what I guess they thought was humour!? If so it failed massively. People swearing at each other constantly doesn't make a scene funny.......especially if one character is acting like he's out of a kids film overacting like Jim Carey on Speed and the rest just swear and play it straight. For a low budget film its set design, locations and make up are great. But the script seemed to be written as they went along. ......... And the ending last and non sensical. Ok if bored and looking for something on in background but sadly they missed an opportunity to make a good serious themed Zombie film.

It's a shame it couldn't make it's mind up what film it was.
A thousand souls destined for damnation
A diverse group of travelers during the zombie apocalypse come across a school and decide to bed down. Their leader is missing a foot and is cared for by a criminal in an orange jump suit. We discover the reason for the group's diversity was that they were at a compound and opted to leave the "retards" behind. While at the school, they discover the zombies are turning back to cured people...only to be killed and eaten again. This anomaly provides curiosity that needs further investigation and the reason for the outbreak is also revealed.
The first part of the film is light and humorous. This is replaced by dark humor with religious overtones, although I would argue the characters provided that overtone themselves based on their beliefs and it was not the intended theme of the film. I liked the first half better than the last half.
Guide: F-word. Brief sex. No nudity.
Better than expected
When I first started the movie, the scenes started with a bit of shooter perspective games so I thought I was in for that type of movie (which I'm not real keen on). It quickly moved along to the opening credits along with cheesy animated still cartoons. If it didn't get any better the movie would be scrapped fairly soon. The movie starts with the main characters - and from the get go there's some laughs. There's really not much of a story other than a group of survivors trying to get to a destination, while dragging a prisoner (who happens to be the doctor responsible for the catastrophe). Along the way they shoot, bludgeon and stab zombies until they get to an ex-refuge that happens to contain said Messiah zombie who can bring Zombies back to life. While not the best zombie flick I've seen, it was watchable up to about 60 min, then really lost the plot. Most likely because the Scottish Sargent providing the humor exits himself. The acting isn't great, but that's half the humor for me. It's got some nice slice and dice, pretty decent zombie makeup and quite a bit of humor. Although I liked it, this ones a renter as you'd only watch it once. If you liked Cockney's Vs Zombies you'd like this.
