Michael Ledo The movie opens with a snuff scene that appears it could have come from Sin City. A man in handcuffs is set upon by a group of zombies, which we later find out were produced by the government, unless you read the comic book. Meanwhile Tom and Mark decide they want to go out for a drink, but like a trip to White Castle they get detoured.There is also Raven, "don't call me Jennifer" who is a punk-goth looking photographer. She joins the group. As fate would have it these 4 end up together. We find out the man in cuffs is some kind of government agent who was supposed to have been killed by the zombie attack. Mark has issues with his former roommate Kevin, who is sleeping with his gf, or ex-gf. Kevin looks like a young Val Kilmer.The movie has some real bad acting, like the bouncer at the bar who has "SECURITY" on his t-shirt. Fortunately the worse actors get eaten early. There seems to be a serious lack of guns for rural Michigan. There is one scene with some comical Dr. Evil diabolical laughter. The zombies are of the slow moving variety with a lousy make-up job.The DVD comes with a PREQUEL comic book. It would help if you read the comic book first. F-bomb, no sex, no nudity (unless you count the comic book which has topless drawings).

MBunge Can't the government do something about movies like Zombie Apocalypse? I mean, the FDA wouldn't let me mix up some cold medicine in my garage and sell it to people. The State Patrol wouldn't let me drive down the street in a car I cobbled together out of duct tape, aluminum foil and a lawn mower engine. If you drop out of school in the 7th grade, you're not allowed to hang up a shingle and call yourself a lawyer. Yet for some reason, any ambitious half wit who can squeeze a loaf of cinema out of his creative anus is allowed to sell it to the public as though it were a professionally made product. That ain't right. At the very least there should be some sort of rating system to warn people, labeling garbage like this as MBTM - Made By Talentless Morons.This motion picture is atrocious. Nothing about it is better than amateurish and a lot doesn't even reach that low standard. This script would get you flunked out of screen writing class. These performances would get you kicked out of acting class. The direction would get you deported from the country. I could give a camera and a boom mic to a bunch of middle schoolers and send them out into the woods and they could improv a better film than this. It really should be illegal to market and distribute something this woeful. Putting this DVD on the shelves and waiting for someone to rent it is like digging a pit and waiting for someone to fall in, then stealing their wallet.This film is about a band of survivors who have to work together to survive after a virus outbreak causes the dead to rise. Now, that same description can be applied just as accurately to dozens, if not hundreds, of other low-budget flicks out there about the walking dead. But even though almost all of them stink on ice, most would still probably be better than Zombie Apocalypse. What is it about zombies that attracts such cheap and grotesquely bad filmmaking? There have been terrible werewolf and vampire movies, but nowhere near the number or as crudely made as zombies.If this were simply a matter of incompetent boobs trying to make a movie and failing in tragic fashion, I could forgive that. There's a certain charm to that sort of Ed Wood-ian sincerity. That's not what is going on with these dunderheads. There are too many times when the film slides haphazardly from pitiful attempt at drama to even more pitiful attempts at comedy and then back again to be unintentional. There are too many unbelievably horrid fight scenes that look like something out of live action role playing to be accidental. There are too many moments where Zombie Apocalypse plainly tries to embrace a "so bad it's good" ethic for this excrement to be the work of guys who were unaware of how much they suck. From awful voiceovers to imbecilic plot twists to aping stuff they saw in Shawn of the Dead, the folks who made this junk knew what a ghastly job they were doing. They just didn't care.The people who made Zombie Apocalypse should be beaten with hickory sticks. The people who put it out into the DVD market should be forced to bathe in the bowel movements of a thousand fat men. You not only shouldn't watch this movie, you shouldn't be friends with anyone who likes it.

Never_Wrong This movie cropped up alongside all the new releases in the shop. I like zombie films so thought i'd give it a try. The cover art looked good but unfortunately bares no resemblance to the film.The film is just awful from start to finish. no one can act and the zombies look like a 5 year old was hired to do the makeup. It may be low budget but that's not an excuse. If you have no money then you need to be clever with what you do have. Trying to make a zombie movie with no story, no actors and no effects just results in boring garbage.The whole things feels like a you-tube homage to zombie films made by some kids in a garage.

tadhgm I can handle my fair share of "cheese", but this one just sucks on any meter. Terrible acting, terrible script and horrible directing make Zombie Apocalypse one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I really had a problem sitting through this mess of a movie. The zombies were not even scary. I was even rooting for the zombies. I was hoping they would kill everyone else off before the first 15 minutes and the movie would just end. It really seemed like a gang of friends with some camcorders just went to some abandoned buildings out in the woods and just did a weekend take. I rented this at my local video store. It was on the new release section next to Zombieland. I am going to give them a hard time for having this on the new release section.
