Unlike most of the "modern" zombie movies like Dawn of the Dead, the zombies in this film are people under mind control and commit acts of suicide and/or murder after receiving a call on their cell phones. I can relate, I had the same urge while watching this crud.
Plot: Something about mind control, government agents, drug dealers and undercover cops. Hard to follow, not because it's a complex story, it's just that trying to follow the awful editing, sound, cinematography, acting, etc makes it not worth the effort. It's so jumbled and incoherent that I gave up trying and started counting the slats in my window blinds, I have 26 of them.
Acting: The "actors" kept sneaking glances at the camera while woodenly mumbling random, made up sentences, well, the ones I could actually hear.
Casting: The drug dealers look about as harmless as puppies and the undercover cops couldn't crack a case unless it was labeled 'Budweiser'. The top government agent appears to have picked his clothes out in the 70's while on vacation in Panama.
Dialogue: I dunno, couldn't hear most of it.
Sound: Two flavors 1). So low you have to turn up the volume all the way and then ... 2). Scrambling to turn it down when someone yells, or hellishly loud rock and rap blasts you out of your peaceful slumber.
Lighting: None, nature provides it all. I guess that helps stretch the budget a bit further.
Editing: Slowly fade to black and slowly fade back in. Repeat.
Music: Extremely loud rap or heavy metal with very explicit language. Your neighbors are gonna love hearing this while you frantically reach for the volume control. None of the songs seemed connected to the movie in any way, and were chosen for no obvious reason.
Cinematography: Hand held camcorder with all the fuzzy, grainy, out of focus fun that goes with it.
Special effects: It's amazing what a $3.00 "Halloween Makeup Kit" from Walgreens can do for your film.
Overall: 1 out of 10 stars. I gave it a pity point because at least they had the wisdom to have one not-too-bad looking gal give us a few flashes, it helps a bit. Also, the lowest score you can give is one, so I had no choice.
