Michael Ledo This is "Andromeda Strain" plus zombies. There are a limited number of characters in this film that involves a small mountain community. I managed to like one of the characters, the deputy with a sense of humor. The rest of the characters lacked depth and dialogue. The film moves slow for the first half and I was fairly bored up until that last 20 minutes. The plot while simple was haphazard. There is plenty of blood splatter.Not Fangoria's best film, a disappointment.Parental Guide: F-bomb. Near sex. No nudity.

suite92 The 500,000 USD budget was not money well-spent.A meteor crashes into a satellite, which falls to Earth. It releases a germ which causes cannibalism in its victims, including military responders and locals alike.Parts of the satellite crash in the countryside in western New York. Local firemen investigate, and find gooey stuff on satellite pieces.About 25 minutes in, the first zombie appears. Sigh. There are lots of zombies who meet their ends from shotgun blasts at close range.Will the outbreak be contained? Will any of the early characters survive? Will any explanation be given other than 'stuff happens?'------Scores------Cinematography: 5/10 Occasional exposure mistakes, too many doses of shaky camera, way too much of the idiot biking in the woods while listening to her MP3 player. Blood effects range from poor to terrible. A woman barfs inside the deputy's cruiser, mostly onto the inside of the windshield. In one shot it's yellow; in the next it's blue, but still yellow on her mouth. The end credits were badly done.Sound: 4/10 I could hear the dialog; this was a mixed blessing. The music was very amateurish. The plus 4 was mostly for the song during the end credits.Acting: 0/10 Marguerite Sundberg, Michael Flores, and Mark Chiappione were irritating on the one hand, not interesting on the other hand. The actors who played the military were the worst.Screenplay: 0/10 Close to the worst example of unrelenting bad dialog I've seen in the last year. None of the characters were worth caring about. The involvement of the military was of some importance at the beginning, then was dropped. The ending was not much of an ending.

leanne-dan Although the movie takes 40 minutes before anything actually happens, it makes a poor attempt to introduce the characters to the viewer.The sheriff looks about 17, the deputy sheriff looks about 50 and it seems he is a jack of all trades as he is also the local doctor and pathologist.Apart from the terrible acting and poor dialogue, it is difficult to relate to any of the characters as they are so 2 dimensional.The storyline doesn't go anywhere, the effects/makeup are poor, and the ending in particular is downright pathetic. Confusing timescales and lack of direction makes for very dull viewing, this movie seems as though it was just thrown together by kids in a few days. Also, if you were expecting gore etc, look elsewhere as the camera pans away whenever anyone gets shot or bitten.

Seb A satellite crashes bringing with it a virus that turns people into people chomping cannibals. All of this takes place around a sleepy small American town protected by a very young deputy sheriff.I thought it was a pretty good movie, or at least a nice fast moving one most of the time. There's plenty of action and the effects were pretty good and so was the acting.The camera work is annoying in places though. For some reason it wobbles around wildly when two people are talking but is steady in the action scenes. In some scenes actors nearly vanish off the screen for lack of a tripod.There's also all that military hardware just sat around as scenery. I would have thought a dozen or so soldiers would give a horde of zombies a run for its money, it's a shame we weren't shown that or more of the hazmat guys freaking out about the situation.Well nobody likes a long review so I'll just say I liked it and if you like zombie movies and that kind of thing this is a pretty entertaining movie and definitely improves from its shaky opening.
