rory mettle I just watched this on Netflix. Despite all the negative reviews, I understood what this film was trying to do. It just simply didn't have the budget for the grand-scale it was trying to achieve. Some of the acting wasn't there and the fx were just okay while other parts were killer, but I thought the story was very entertaining. If this movie had been given a real budget with decent actors, it would have been great. I consider it a step above the typical sci-fi channel stuff you see out there. I also thought it was a fresh approach to the typical zombie film. This isn't going to be an award winner but its certainly a fun film to relax to on the weekend.

gurumike-254-940084 It's *that* bad. I've seen worse but rarely.I couldn't even watch it all. It would have been better if they'd made it campy and taken pride in being B rate. I can get into a well-done B rate movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. This, though, takes itself completely seriously and falls *way* short of its aim.The story isn't bad and the way they were telling it was engaging, even if the acting was, overall, pretty lame. I tried to give it a chance. Then the words "necromancy" and "necromancer" entered the script and the actors completely butchered them. It might seem trivial but I'm a word guy and for "professional" actors to butcher a word that bad means that *no one* on the production crew even bothered to pick up a dictionary to check the pronunciation.If it had been a decent movie before the pronunciation butchery then I could have tolerated it. But that kind of neglect added to an already less-than-mediocre movie was the straw that broke this camel's back.

maohmex2004 I know there are fans of this film, but is not my case. Even when I saw FX directly from Videocopilot tutorials for AE that I could make much better than the film, there is no storyline in this movie. I found it very bored and some characters don't have any personality. I think that director/writer Brian A. Metcalf needs some lessons of how to make a sci-fi movie like a pro and not like an amateur project of college, full of shaking, bad movement displacement, bad lightning and so on.Another bad point of this movie is that a lot of explanations are missed. Come on!! Mr. Director, my imagination doesn't work as yours!. Maybe such answers are still flying in his head. Nonsense ending with guess what… BAD ACTORS TOO!!. Thomas Ian Nicholas .. American Pie times are over... so as you are… . I wish you better luck in your next film.

dumbster Brian A. Metcalf has in under 90 minutes managed to use every cliché from classic the horror and fantasy movies and yet manages to go against everything that makes up a compelling movie for any fan of the genre.The script, to begin with, is a horrible mess starting off with a narrative ego within a flashback of many making parts of the story over explicit whilst absolutely impossible to engage in. The fact is that it's very hard to grasp (or care) what story line is important and which are less so until the far to drawn-out ending.The characters act inconsistently all over and the very same threats that oppose them are as often deadly in one scene to be ridiculously easy to defeat in the next.The scenography and the special effects are flat and ugly and the fighting scenes (there's A LOT of them) mainly consist of monsters running straight into swords.I think that Metcalf was aiming for a mix of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Night of the Living Dead" but ended up with Uwe Boll's "Dungeons and Dragons" mixing with "Resident Evil" (the first of the video games, if you remember the script and acting in that).It made me sad to see Brad Dourif wading around in this crap and not even he manages to be free of its stench.
