September 7, 2008Horror Not to Miss List Commentary:
This is one of my top indie zombie flix, and I prefer it better to its other Australian peer Braindead by Peter Jackson. Though some audience members are frustrated with the genre-blurring that occurs because the film-makers are looking to...( read more) -
July 19, 2008I think the goal of this movie is to make a campy throwback movie that evokes the movies that the Sperig brothers loved growing up. It's like an Australian equivalent of Slither.

Kurt Loder, MTV
This Australian zombie import is ... a thoroughly bad movie -- written, acted and shot at the very lowest levels of know-how. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
The plot's standard-issue, owing much to zombie movies that have staggered before this one. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The film will frighten only those with phobias about boredom and amuse only viewers with expectations lower than the filmmaker's miniscule budget. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The kind of movie that would be so bad it's good, except it's not bad enough to be good enough. full review
