Zombie Undead

IT BIT ME
The movie title appears to be redundant. Clearly the Brits do not understand what to do during a major Zombie outbreak, perhaps due to the poor showing of "Zombie Diaries." A dirty bomb goes off and the film concentrates on the life and survival of Sarah (Ruth King). She passes out then comes to at a country infirmary. Here she encounters live people and zombies. They make numerous mistakes.

First, you need to secure the perimeter and eliminate the zombies inside. This is common sense stuff, but the Brits don't do it. Secondly if you are in a building that has zombies, don't ride the elevator as you don't know what is going to be outside the doors when they open. When you suspect the zombie infestation is caused by a blood borne pathogen, don't leave infected blood on your skin. Immediately wash it off and disinfect with a 10% Clorax solution. Also according to the Homeland Security handbook, the people who will actually be infected first are old people, children, and...

Surprisingly Very Good
This got terrible reviews everywhere. But I have very distinct likes being a Zombie film lover before it was cool I saw Night of the Living you know what in 1969 at the Orson Welles Cinema in Boston and have been a fan since. I hate most Zombie flicks and I hate running zombies, except the Dawn remake, which worked. This had slow really expertly directed Zombies. Good makeup for low budget and the acting which got panned as amateur worked very well. Sure there were head scratchers, like how did the main guy get off the roof when the girl was behind the door and then it closed. Look forget that. Forget that nobody but nobody but Romero presents a possible metaphysical origin, and the sudden biological origin is not as deeply terrifying to me, but this British Zombie flick is not a lame comedy, very few work except of course Sean of the Dead,but this is enjoyable if you expect little but love zombie flicks that are made not for money but because they love the genre..Thank the Lord...

Zombie Undead DVD
As a fan of zombie movies, which there are really great ones out there, especially by George Romero, I found this movie entertaining but not a "to die for" type movie. It had its good moments and slow moments, but in the end, a movie to just sit down, eat popcorn and enjoy. The zombies looked more like the ones in 28 Days Later, rather than ones shown in TV's Walking Dead. As I said before, put it on, sit down and watch another zombie movie out of the movie grinder.
