This is a perfect example of a flick that had many promotions but failed at the box office. I have even seen a article of 2 pages in an old fangoria concerning this flick, so go figure out. The picture in Fangoria were okay and made me think, it's going to be bloody. But I was wrong. Not that it was badly shot, it was all done in a proper way but it takes too long before the zombies arrive. The zombies themselves looks really okay and the effects used as they are dismembered are also really well done. It's even a bit funny with a hacked off hand keeping attacking ones throat and one soldier being killed by the remains of a slashed arm of a zombie. But as I said, it takes too long before they actually attack. The supernatural effects are out dated. The idea was okay and can be related to 2000 maniacs in some ways. It never had a proper release and is only available on ex-rental NTSC VHS.

I didn't like this movie although the premise is really good. These post-war zombie movies are very popular and this one is very decent. If done correctly, this movie would have the status of a respectable zombie movie. The cinematography is really good and plays a key part in the most important scenes, for example, the ending.The f/x are really are cheesy but work for the movie's purpose. Still I can't recommend this movie for it's visuals... in fact, it's a boring movie with a lot of wasted potential.Watch it only if you get it for free. I catched it on late cable many years ago and I can't say that I regret about it, but I wouldn't watch it again!Try "Stryker's War" for a more entertaining movie in the likes of this one.

boring and dull flick has lots of bad dialog some headache inducing scenes and most of all it's just boring nothing particularly interesting happens until the neat finale the acting is terrible Maxwell Caufield does okay here but was kinda wimpy for my tastes Nichelle Nichols was the only good actress here she gives a good show with her tough performance Talia Balsam is so so here and is not given much to do all the rest of the actors suck! there isn't much left to say here i just wasn't paying all that much attention to it because it was so dull i was doing other things at the same time NOT WORTH IT! folks avoid this one and leave it on the shelf * out of 5 however the opening is pretty cool when Jeremey brings her mother back to life

To start off, I'd like to know where some one got the idea to label this under "horror"...this is anything but horror! However, it is "horror-ble" The acting sucks, the script must have been written by a wookie, and the special effects are below cheesy, they're worse them some of the stuff full moon studios produces. To anyone interested in renting or watching this film, let me make this abundently clear to you: There are only 5 minutes worth of zombies in this film which really have nothing to do with the story or plot, or lack there of. There is less than 1 minute of gore in this monstrosity too. And most importantly, this isn't even horror! It's really a romantic drama with some added sprinkling of quick makeup and blood, which like I said, is less than 5 minutes of the film. If you're looking for zombies, I suggest moving on to a real movie like Day of the Dead. But for the love of god, don't bother with this stinker. Unfortunately, I cannot give this movie a negative number, so it gets a 1.
