Most of the other zombie flicks in this category are complete piles of garbage. Zomblies seems to pull through and live up to B-movie status. If 28 days/weeks later left you wanting more then Zomblies can deliver a satisfying remedy.For the most part the FX were done very well for being a film with a budget under 10k. The only hangup that I had to get over was the dubbed audio. In places it just felt weird, but I quickly got over that fact. The practical FX were executed very well and the acting was decent. I'm glad they didn't spend much time on the Government/General as it's usually in those segments in zombie movies where they lose momentum. The Government is always seen as emotionless and flippant, and gets an immediate eye roll when seen in almost every B grade zombie movie. Go watch this FOR FREE on youtube, another great move by the producers, or you can purchase the 1080p version on iTunes.Very well done!

First to say: I'm absolutely into zombie stuff. I love zombie movies - what was the reason I stumbled over this one. It is a nice movie, story line incorporates some really nice ideas. However there are two major points I wanted to criticize: First point, the actors. They play it good but one has the feeling, that they are really amateurs. I had in mind the whole time, that they might be airsoft players making a movie in their free time (for the ones aren't familiar with airsoft, just go to youtube and search for it). The military team did not look like soldiers. In fact they look quite weak and scrawny, not what I would expect from soldiers. Second shortcoming are the dialogs. I think the movie should have had more of them! The story would get more deepness and would be more convincing.However great work for an independent movie. Keep it up!

This small little film packs a wallop! Right away it's starts on the zombie action and does not let up for a minute! Yeah! This is some talent to watch for sure. The music score was right on target and appropriate. No Oscar caliber performances here but some great decent acting with an amateur cast. It caught me off guard in a couple scenes for some real genuine scares and made me jump! (Not an easy thing to do) The special effects were decent enough and quick enough so you don't linger on the CGI too much. There are quite a few scenes that were very good and suspenseful. Almost like an intense Video Game about Zombies , but good nonetheless.There really isn't too much of a story line but who cares? It's all about Zombie action! I hope there is a sequel. Definitely worth watching again! Love the motorcycle scene!

I was pleasantly surprised by the aesthetics of this film. The mere budget of £10,000 puts certain Blockbusters to absolute shame. With a finer script, and higher level of acting an extended version of the British film could be the next Dog Soldiers meets 28 Days Later.The key to enjoying this short is not taking it too seriously. The film is definitely aimed at B- movie lovers and if you exit the screening having not laughed then I'm afraid you are the wrong target audience. Yes, the film does have a distinctive game-like feel to it, but this adds to the exhilarating aesthetic. Some character development is lacking, but pithy one-liners and gruesome action sequences attribute to the soldiers-kicking-ass ethos that prevails.Having seen "Zomblies" my dream job is now a British soldier during a Zombie apocalypse - give me a kick-ass squad, unlimited ammunition, a load of zombies...and a motorbike please!
