So threw this on to kill some time during a long watch. Went in expecting it to be horrible, and it wasn't the greatest, but when a zombie monkey rips out a vet's eyeballs -and then throws them at the other vet- inside the first five minutes, you know exactly the territory you're headed into.
Acting varies, with Ione Butler and Andrew Asper being more towards the 'Pretty Good' end of the scale. Nobody is really awful though, and manage to make it through remarkably straight-faced. The movie never takes itself too seriously, and how can you, when one scene involves zombie birds ripping out a woman's entrails and then laying eggs in her. One character gets both his arms ripped off by graffes (immediately following one of the more laughably awkward CGI scenes), and Lizzy and Gage have a cutaway scene where they each rip the wings off a bird, so... judge by that I guess. And as others have said, Thea vs the koala is amusing in a gory way. I'm not well-versed in the Asylum oeuvre, so either the CGI is as a whole intentionally bad or they improved significantly between 2016 and 2018's Triassic Park.
During these long boring watches I've been sampling some B-grade fare on Tubi and I was expecting this to be as wooden, slapped-together and disappointing as Jurassic Shark but it was a pleasant waste of an hour and a half.
