chuckwallah I haven't yet seen this film from beginning to end yet as it's always shown very late at night on British TV. What I have seen I've enjoyed but I don't think that it is primarily a Zombie movie, it is more a 'man against adversity' movie and the antagonists could have been bandits, deserters, native Americans, escaped slaves, degenerate backwoodsmen, almost anything. Of course the wife and son thing would have been problematical but not impossible. The one thing that let this movie down for me was the soundtrack. Either the copy that is being shown on British TV has a serious fault or else the film had the worst sound recordist in the history of film. As I said earlier this movie is only shown late at night so I have to watch it with the sound turned down and it is absolutely impossible to hear the narrative due to the background music overwhelming it - by about 40dB.

begob I enjoyed this, although it does have a lot of problems.First up the concept is excellent, and the story has a flow of episodes (7 chapters) that keep changing the emphasis. I was expecting a survival tale of demobbed confederate soldiers returning home to find The Shire has been taken over by evil, but instead we shift to 6 years later.The acting is mostly good, but the dialogue they're given isn't much to write home about. How about making the surgeon a bit crazy? The zombies are fine if not all that menacing or gory. They missed a trick in not showing how an earlier technology would have had peculiar problems - reloading the musket in the opening scene was the only one I saw.The scenes in the tunnels were a bit cheap, and it was unbelievable that they hadn't been fortified. So the heroes got in and out too easy, and the zombies filed in like the sales had just begun.Biggest problem was the voice over. Early on it was used way too much instead of efficient dialogue - for example the hero meets his zombified neighbour, Charles, and the VO gives a spiel about this being the neighbour. The actor should just have said, "Charles, your wife used to bring us pies!" then blown his brains out. Plus the actor got to do a lot of flash-back agonising while the VO droned on with observations we can already see on the screen. Plus, instead of the VO, Eve should have told a shortened version of how the plague spread.I did like the animations. Sometimes the music was too much.Overall the intro should have been snappier and more coherent, and the moralising minimised.

cosmo-bongo This appeared to be a promising film, but I am unable to get past the first 15 minutes or so because the sound track is so dreadful, often with music and "FX" running loudly in the background.Where the technical people placed the microphones, I don't know, but this presentation is unforgivable.The narrator has a very low, mumbly voice ~~ to make matters worse.I give this film 4 out of 10, cannot be more generous I'm afraid. There is little more that I can add to make this review up to 10 lines, other than my absolute amazement at the stupidity of the producers in allowing this motion picture to be released as is. Yes, it had great promise, but it has been utterly ruined by the sound track and the MUMBLY voiced narrator who is overly-dramatic and sounds silly.

sunflowers19842002 I am a fan of all things zombie so when I saw this on Netflix I knew I'd watch it! From the start I knew this looked like it would be a decent movie which drew me in even more. It's one of those that's a nice unexpected surprise and those are the ones I love! Although the gore is not as heavy as some movies what is there is tastefully done and a strong storyline helps that right along! If you are looking for ultra gore this may not be for you but if you are looking for a zombie movie with a strong plot to boot, this ones for you! It's a bit of horror,drama,and a touch of romance all rolled into one! Also, the main character is someone that as far as I found is little known but seems to carry his role very well! Well acted, well scripted, effects pretty well done! This to me is one I'd watch again!
