GL84 Following a viral outbreak in Taiwan, a woman and her daughter are forced along with a group of police officers and gangsters when a horde of zombies overruns the city and makes them have to rely on each other in order to survive the relentless and ravenous beings.This was a highly enjoyable and fun zombie effort. As is the case with so many zombie efforts, the fact that there's so much action in here is one of its main factors and generates the most amount of fun here. The first encounter in the supermarket after awakening from the accident is so much fun as the different encounters with the swarms feasting on the remains of patrons and finding herself being chased out of the store makes for a creepy start with the appropriately gory and bloodied bodies found in the aisles adding to the fun. The scenes of the SWAT team getting attacked by the gangsters in a blazing gunfight before finding the zombies drawn to the gunfire and attacking the two groups in a mass panic, while the shorter attacks featuring the reporter being chased away or the zombies appearing in the club where the tied-up victims are stuck together all give this one quite the fun, fast and frantic start. By focusing on the efforts of the team to not only battle the zombies in the streets and keeping the civilians safe, there's plenty of great battles and gunfights in a large part of the film showing everyone attempting to get away from the creatures which gives off some rather fun scenes in the streets showing the survivors running into the hordes and forcing them into extreme measures to take care and avoid them, the plethora of gunfights to emerge from the creatures getting in and the groups' escape attempt to get out of the bunker alive as there's a nice battle to get to the truck amid the zombies converging on them trying to load the victims inside while the hand-to-hand martial arts required to hold them off adds another layer to the fun action quotient of this one. Likewise, the finale where the few remaining participants are trying to stay alive in the bunker where the creatures have trapped them and force them to rather fun barricades to hold off the zombies as they try to make their escapes gives this a kind of frantic high-energy finale to make for a stellar finish to this one. Along with the rather strong violence throughout here and the great zombie make-up, there's a lot of fun to be had here with this one although there are a few minor problems. The biggest issue here is the fact that the films' diversions into the torture dungeon where the one man has the others tied up and goes on raping them doesn't really need to be there other than to interject some sleaze and dirtiness into the film which didn't need it. They serve no purpose and have no overall reason to be there so it has some real problems being here. The only other issue is the film tries to go for poignancy in nearly all the relationships between everyone here and the melodramatic tone is quite draining overall since very little of it registers after it's all said and done as everything is like that. Otherwise, there's not much else wrong here.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Extreme Graphic Language, Full Nudity, Rape and children-in-jeopardy.
andyjcox I find it had to see why anyone has rated this film as anything above terrible.I love zombie movies (usually) and I also really enjoy movies from outside the UK, especially Hong Kong Cinema. However this film was such a let down I find it hard to put into words.I will start with the acting which is some of the worst I have seen in any movie, even the Zombies are acted badly! Secondly The camera work is all over the place to the point that it makes the viewer feel dazed and loose concentration.The story is poor taste and seems to just look for excuses for nudity. The film tries to shock and fails terribly. The whole film is patchy and seems to be really badly put together jumping from scene to scene often lacking in sense and direction.My conclusion: Save an hour and a half of your life and skip this one.
davewu21 To begin, I am pretty surprised by the number of topless scenes in the film. Hmm, in my humble opinion it didn't go too well with the zombies film. The plot is shallow and lacked conviction. The zombies are turned in split seconds which is kind of fast, isn't it? The zombies make-up are sub standard. The speed the zombies are rotting, guess it wouldn't last a day; should see more skeletons instead.I watched it in theater and I feel I didn't get my $$ worth. Kinda low budget production film. Nevertheless, it's a good zombie start for Mandarin films. Hope it gets better on the next zombie film and no sequel please.Wait for DVD, I would recommend.
yeodawg This was an awesome Asian Zombie movie. A Zombie plague has taken over and the TV warns everybody to evacuate the city. The Local gang-members don't watch the news, so when they see the cops storm-trooping down the street with full battle-rattle it's game on! And in the middle of the shoot-out here comes the un-dead. In the opening scene they borrow from 28days later, and Zombie land. The serial killer who does well in the zombie Apocalypse with his dungeon is from "COLLIN". "Big-Budget Zombie Film" film that borrowed from "Lil-budget Zombie Films". But borrowing is part of the Zombie Genre the problem is they didn't expand on it, and they had the money, casts, extras, and rolling sets to do so. I would've loved for the Cops to be in full Zombie elimination not Evacuate the city mode. The Cops and Gang-members join up to defeat the Zombies has been done to un-death (Horde, Gangs of the Dead, etc, etc,) it would've been nice instead of joining forces had they went there separate ways. Seeing how the discipline SWAT team moves against the Zombies, or a tactical peel retreat. And the Gangsters with their wild undisciplined strongest bravest style. Then see how both sides come to the realization that you have to shoot the Zombies in the head. In this film even the onslaught could have been choreographed better sprinkle them in then mob, all scenes were the same. Whether in the sewer, the slums, pent-house, or parking lot, all ill-used sets.
