Sorry. Don't get me wrong, this film isn't Bad...exactly...but for a zombie film it is lacking. I gave it three stars, mainly for the good characterization and such. It is a character driven affair and in this it excels, but if you are looking for Action, keep looking.
The other problem is the gore. To much of it in my opinion, and worse yet, most of it is Not done well. Gore for gore sake works, but make it convincing, please.
If you want a more "arty" "My dinner with a newly dead guy" type film, then by all means check it out. If you want something with more action, pass.
NOT ENOUGH FOOTAGE OF THE VERY GROSS ZOMBIE Near the end of the movie is when the main charactor turns 100% into a VERY GROSS and realistic looking zombie which to me was not enough.This movie would of been better if they showed this dead guy looking VERY GROSS starting at about 20 minutes into the movie,but they didnt.
the hum-bie mind this movie is unlike any other zombie film ive come into contact with, its a psycholgical movie that the lead character happens to be turning zombie.the effects a understandable for low budget but this movie deserves a look for other reasons. The story leaves you with not alot of closure but you feel satisfied because you know its best that way. The beginning,middle & end are all done well. Charcter building was just right. The zombie film is unique and this kind of story would be best if not ever attempted by anyone again.
Steal for under 5 bucks This is an Interesting film. It's sad in a lot of ways and humanizes the zombie state by moving you to feel for the main characters past as a human, and future as a zombie. This movie is an absolute STEAL for under $5 (most used DVD's of this title are under $5)
awesome concept, slow pace i had this on VHS and finally decided to watch it again after a few years of sitting in a box in my basement. i loved the basic idea. the movie even went so far as to show what happens to a zombie when he tries to pleasure himself with a little jerk action (it would probably be the worst thing out of the entire ordeal).
i didn't have much expectations, but i was somewhat surprised at the acting. i'm not talking about the victims, they were bad. i'm talking about the main character. he actually put on quite a good performance. i was impressed how he accurately portrayed the suffering of a man who is dying but cannot die.
the only problem i really had was the pace was just too damn slow. i understand it takes some time to show the character's suffering, but this movie was bordering on tedium. that is the only reason i had to drop this movie a couple of stars.
