Zombie Apocalypse (2011 TV Movie)
Not as bad as some other Asylum productions... but still not good
17 January 2012
I have to admit that my expectations were pretty low for this movie before watching it, since it was a production by the company "The Asylum" - which has made A LOT of bad movies - and that it was made for the SyFy television network, which has commissioned A LOT of bad movies. Fortunately, this movie is better than average for those two companies. There are a few decent special effects done on a low budget, the zombie makeup is acceptable, and there is plenty of blood and gore on display.

However, I must admit that I was still kind of underwhelmed at the end. The characters are pretty weak - I don't think I even learned the names of some of them! Also, while there is plenty of scenes where blood and gore is shown, it becomes quickly monotonous - every zombie slaughter sequences looks exactly the same. The going-ons between the slaughter sequences are pretty dull as well. And the last fifteen minutes of the movie are extremely incompetent in their direction and editing.

There are a lot worse movies out there, zombie-themed or not. Still, I would only recommend this movie if (1) you get to see it for free, (2) you have a high level of patience, and (3) there is absolutely nothing else to occupy your time.
