GL84 After a radiation spill causes a massive apocalypse leaving most of mankind as ravenous zombies, several survivors try to survive barricaded inside a fortified casino until another group arrives looking for shelter against a newer breed that are far more dangerous and vicious coming for them.Overall, this one was a rather disappointing zombie effort that does have a decent parts to it. Among the better features on display here are the big action scenes here that showcase the zombies in this, as the few zombie attacks here feature a lot of positives. The initial outbreak of the group clearing out the different floors of the casino feature some really exciting scenes of the burgeoning zombie hordes all throughout the building including the kitchen and laundry room encounters as well as the searches on the different floors getting some rather fun action trying to get away from the creatures. Other big action scenes here are even better with their attempts to leave hampered by the size of the swarm that needs to be maneuvered around leaving this one with some exciting scenes of the horde chasing after them through the streets, into the abandoned cars and vehicles left by the side of the streets and being forced into the buildings along the way which makes these action scenes all the more fun and exciting. There's some good parts scattered throughout in the final twenty minutes here with the ravenous gunfights across the casino, plenty of gory action with a rather impressive storyline addition of cannibalistic zombies that are even faster, stronger and more vicious which eat other zombies, providing some solid suspense here in the race to get out which makes for a high-quality finish. That, along with some decent make-up that looks good at times allows this enough to be watchable but not to overcome the flaws here. Frankly, the biggest issue against this one is the fact that this one tends to spend an incredibly long amount of time on the interaction with the humans surviving inside the compound and their various issues with each other while the zombies, while still shown to be around, are basically given nothing to do. The attacks are so few and far between, with so little action during them anyway, that it's almost a drama about living in a zombie apocalypse than a true-blooded zombie film, which can get taxing as there's nothing interesting happening here with these people and their issues consistently keeping this one from moving along. Even though they're present this one never really lets them loose after they're barricaded inside which is somewhat off in a film like this. Added together with some atrocious CGI in unnecessary places and it has some problems, though this one does get enough right to save it.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
kosmasp This starts off fairly nice, but unfortunately ends up being really bad. And not in a good sense that is. While the male lead character has almost enough charisma to make it all work, you do wonder why the female lead was written that way. Even if you kinda think it pays of in the end, it's at least laughable the actions they are taking.There are some fun moments and this is shot pretty nicely (though one big effect scene towards the end of the movie is cheap CGI, but you couldn't expect otherwise). It's pretty funny seeing the Omen "Baby"/Kid playing in something else. Most won't recognize Miko Hughes, it's been a while since the Original Omen was shot, but it is him and while his character has not much to chew on (no pun intended), he still fairs better than some of the other characters. Also nice to see Mr. Reddick (aka Broyles from Fringe) in a different role. But he can't save the day either ...
bjjnedan Hmmm..., let me start by saying that I'm a huge fan of the zombie apocalypse movie genre. Anyways, plot, some kind of explosion kills everybody and brings them back to life, more or less, to eat flesh and kill s***. A few people survive and barricade themselves in a run down piece of s*** casino hotel, where they fight to stay alive.Well..., now on to this crap. Firstly, the acting is over the top bland. And things just don't make sense. Like in one scene, they confront a zombie in an upstairs room. They don't kill it, they don't even trap it, they run away and then forget about it. It seems that in the piece of s*** world where this movie takes place, zombie don't attack if you don't think about them? And..., zombies sleep? Yeah, they sleep to replenish their already dead flesh and brains. I mean, come on, why wouldn't zombie's need sleep? This movie is pretty much just like any other run-of-the-mill, bottom-of-the-barrel zombie flick. The one thing that sets this movie apart from all the other piece of s*** low budget zombie flicks that the world is being flooded with now days is..., well..., nothing. Avoid this movie as if you would avoid somebody with airborne HIV.
Woodyanders A freak accident turns the bulk of the world's population into lethal flesh-eating zombies. A small and desperate band of uninfected human survivors seek refuge in a vacant casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Meanwhile, the undead horde becomes smarter, stronger, and more aggressive with each passing day. Director Colin Theys, working from a compact script by John Doolan, relates the engrossing story at a steady pace, maintains a grimly serious tone throughout, delivers a handy helping of grisly gore, and builds a considerable amount of tension. Moreover, the flawed characters are drawn with a reasonable amount of depth and react to the dire situation they are thrust against their wills into with varying degrees of nobility. The solid acting by the capable cast rates as another major plus, with especially praiseworthy work by Grant Bowler as amiable alcoholic loser Tom, Evalena Marie as tough, sassy, and fiercely determined cowgirl barmaid Tori, Miko Hughes as sweet gay magician's assistant Jensen, Anthony Marks as selfish and cowardly hunk Victor, Tawny Cypress as the spunky Cindy, and Lance Reddick as rugged paramilitary group leader Ramsey. In addition, this movie does some neat tweaking of standard zombie horror conventions: The ghouls sleep standing up at night and resort to eating each other when they can't find any living people to munch on. Adrian Coreia's sharp cinematography gives the picture a nice slick look. The twangy and ominous score by Matthew Llewellyn and Sarah Schachner does the bone-rattling trick. A worthwhile fright feature.
