Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

Bad actors, no tension, compaired to Romero this is a D-movie. Really terribly bad. In every way. Poor, weak, lacks quality. Obsolete.

Since this movie claims that it is Dawn of the Dead's sequel, I will make the assumption that this film needs to be compared to Dawn of the Dead.

There are many positives to Zombie when comparing to Dawn of the Dead. For example, zombies look more like the actual walking dead, rather than the face painted zombies of Dawn. Not only do the zombies look real, but also many of the graphic scenes were gruesome and horrifying. The Dr's wife demise was probably one of the most horrific scenes in movie history.

That is where the good stuff ends, unfortunately. Just because the movie has horrifying, gruesome death scenes, doesn't mean it'll become an automatic hit with zombie fans. The thing that made Dawn of the Dead so good is the fact that there was a story to bind it all together. Zombie had no such story, although a good base was in place. The story just fell apart at the end. Not only that, it got super ridiculous at the end. I thought the final stand would have been a good fight. Instead, it turned out to be that six shooters and shotguns can shoot seemingly infinite bullets, and gas filled bottles seems to come in infinite quantities as well. Just to top it all, the movie states that New York is under a huge epidemic where zombies take over the city. When they show the scene, daily life is still happening all around with cars going back and fort and I saw what appeared to be a man walking normally on the bridge that's populate by zombies. Seems more like the movie makers just ran out of cash to close the bridge, so they just recorded right in the middle of rush hour.

The only reason I gave this movie one star is because of one thing: shark versus zombie. Just when you thought the movie couldn't get anymore ridiculous, what happens? A naked person underwater running from a shark, only to be saved by a zombie who happens to attack the shark in an attempt to eat it.

After viewing the film, I immediately, read immediately, returned the movie. It was so gross and ridiculous, I laughed at myself in even thinking there was something remotely better than Romero's film.
