Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Zombie '90: Extreme Pestilence" is (despite the English title) a German movie from 1991, so this one already had its 25th anniversary last year. The writer and director is Andreas Schnaas and he was in his early 20s still when he made this movie. Many more should follow, in all kinds of positions. And having seen some of his stuff, I must say that there are many garbage films in there. And honestly, there is also one reason really only why I do not give this film 1 star out of 5, but 2 stars out of 5 and this is because I watched the 2009 version named "Zombie 09" for which they kept the video the same, but renewed the audio and added new commentaries and quotes that we can hear now in very clear voices that made obvious they weren't from the early 1990s. It is a pretty short movie in the version I saw, barely made it to the 70-minute mark. It is of course much more about the effects and splatter than about anything story-related or performances, but still the character of Dr. Bern was somewhat memorable with the Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts references. I wonder if these were also part of the film back then as they were already known weren't they? Anyway, I guess this new rework of the movie if you want to call it like that is somewhat of a success as it makes a pretty bad film almost watchable. That's why I also think that everybody who wants to see this short film should go for the remastered version. But overall, it is of course still a thumbs-down. Don't watch.

superchris5001 Zombie 90 is a zero budget "movie" made by German director Andreas schnaas. This is the guy who also has a movie series called violent S##t. This is one of those straight to video movies that were very common around this time where anyone could buy a camcorder and make a movie. The special effects arnt completely horrible but thanks to the awful lighting most of the time the blood looks like strawberry milk. I cant judge the dialog writing or acting because the dubbers obviously did not follow the script. At some points you can hear the dubbers LAUGHING. The intentionally bad dubbing is hilarious though and is the only redeeming factor of this movie in my opinion. And to top it off this movie has no ending.( You will have to see it to know what i mean). If you want a few laughs then i recommend this movie but if you want a serious horror movie look somewhere else.

Viva_Chiba Shot on video horror just rules, i don't care about perfection or anything and that's why i like most of the movies from Andreas Schnaas.The plot is about a military plane that crashes in some woods, people transforms in zombies and the contamination begins. Some scientists decides to find a cure for this disaster....off course our friends must fight against the zombies.Zombie '90 is probably (in)famous for the hilarious English dub, it looks dubbed by just two guys ! I like the "cheap gore effects", this is why i like shot on video horror movies, because directors use the most "creative" and "cheap" ways to deliver gore.The music in the opening credits is Awesome, with the capital A, also the Opening Credits are made with a Amiga Computer, that just add's the retro fashion.

lividremains I completely love this movie among other movies of Andreas Schnaas. Zombie '90 is about a plane which crash-lands and a chemical is disposed of, turning an entire community into blood-drinking, gut-munching, throat-slitting, organ-eating zombies! Really good FX for a SUPER low-budget shot-on-video film (with horrid VO's). Well, besides the fact that we are talking about a splatter flick, there is still one scene which I believe makes the film what it is, and why you will remember/rent it. 1. The exploding head of a zombie when shot! 2. A really awesome in-car shot with a zombie being decapitated with an axe!
