  Got this one added to Flixter meself! Anyways, regular readers know I'm zombie-obsessed, so I watch every zombie movie out there. To say, "I've seen worse zombie movie"s sets a new bar for mediocrity, but I have seen FAR worse than this. The script is at least reasonably tight, the main zombies don't look great, but some of the effects implemented are well done. I like Greico's creepy insane scientist. The 'sleeping zombies' scene is pretty cool. Most low budget zombie movie have annoying combat outfits, but I actually like their rigs with the little green glow glasses, though some other zombie reviewers really didn't like the combat uniform design. I like the little cast of stereotypical characters sent out to attack the 'zombie base'. The best part of this movie is the underground survival base occupied by the remaining living humans of the military. The acting is better than most major release Dimension films. There are some zombie with nunchucks if you like that. And the eating scenes that are there are filmed well. with so many sloppily edited straight to dvd zombie flicks flooding the market nowadays, this is one of the few that is not only watcheable, but worth ripping the dvd when you're done renting it (good luck finding something this obscure for download, unless it's a seed of mine ;), and I was able to watch it in one sit-down. Usually I've got to give up twenty minutes in for most cheesy zombie movies. Also I do think the makeup for the main antagonist IS one of the few effective jobs, perhaps because of the contacts and the actor's ability, but I was genuinely scared by his makeup job combined with the angles and lighting.
