Admirable film.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Director Colin Theys and screenwriter John Doolan have taken Steve Niles' graphic novel and created a world of havoc, chaos, and horror. In a brilliantly original concept, a zombie apocalypse has somehow taken place a small band of survivors have to fight for survival in this hostile world gone mad. A strong cast is simply outstanding with Grant Bowler and Evalena Marie giving particularly effective performances. Evalena is especially fine with her smoldering sexuality and take-care-of-business attitude. This is a complete unique and creative take on the zombie genre and one of the complex, exciting, and terrifying horror films ever made.

The story is somewhat nonsensical and the acting is uneven from average to poor - even from actors I enjoy in other projects. It was interesting to see Terry Schappert (always funny on Red Eye) and Lance Reddick (Agent Broyles on Fringe) but their scenes were brief and confusing. Bad guys? Good guys? Infected or not? If the writer doesn't care then why should I care? Still, Tom's decision to betray them by unleashing zombies on them was the stupidest and most evil decision in the script. Hey, if you don't want to go with them ask Cindy to get her daddy's permission instead of getting most of them killed.The four main characters were weakly drawn stereotypes, especially the female lead who one moment thought all of humanity was a waste and the next would do anything to survive. As for Victor, if you just saw him betray a guy by throwing him to the zombies, why would you let him into your refuge? The elderly woman gambler wins the prize for the worst make-up/FX I recall seeing in years, followed closely by the very poor CGI of Cindy's jeep overturning.The only original idea was the giant human hamster wheel which was unexpected and amusing. Also funny was how none of the zombies at the front entrance did more than tap on the glass doors and windows, even when fresh meat was in plain sight. The source of the infection was only alluded to but might have been original if only they'd taken 10 seconds to explain it.Two last notes. When surrounded by a large group pointing guns at you and warning you not to reach behind you - don't ignore them. And when facing a horde of zombies try to find at least a heavy pipe or other weapon and remember to keep it nearby. Fist-fighting with the undead doesn't seem effective.All in all this is in my top 100 zombie movies but nowhere near the top of that list. With a better script and larger budget (better CGI/FX and direction) this could have been a pretty good movie.

Hmmm..., let me start by saying that I'm a huge fan of the zombie apocalypse movie genre. Anyways, plot, some kind of explosion kills everybody and brings them back to life, more or less, to eat flesh and kill s***. A few people survive and barricade themselves in a run down piece of s*** casino hotel, where they fight to stay alive.Well..., now on to this crap. Firstly, the acting is over the top bland. And things just don't make sense. Like in one scene, they confront a zombie in an upstairs room. They don't kill it, they don't even trap it, they run away and then forget about it. It seems that in the piece of s*** world where this movie takes place, zombie don't attack if you don't think about them? And..., zombies sleep? Yeah, they sleep to replenish their already dead flesh and brains. I mean, come on, why wouldn't zombie's need sleep? This movie is pretty much just like any other run-of-the-mill, bottom-of-the-barrel zombie flick. The one thing that sets this movie apart from all the other piece of s*** low budget zombie flicks that the world is being flooded with now days is..., well..., nothing. Avoid this movie as if you would avoid somebody with airborne HIV.

A freak accident turns the bulk of the world's population into lethal flesh-eating zombies. A small and desperate band of uninfected human survivors seek refuge in a vacant casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Meanwhile, the undead horde becomes smarter, stronger, and more aggressive with each passing day. Director Colin Theys, working from a compact script by John Doolan, relates the engrossing story at a steady pace, maintains a grimly serious tone throughout, delivers a handy helping of grisly gore, and builds a considerable amount of tension. Moreover, the flawed characters are drawn with a reasonable amount of depth and react to the dire situation they are thrust against their wills into with varying degrees of nobility. The solid acting by the capable cast rates as another major plus, with especially praiseworthy work by Grant Bowler as amiable alcoholic loser Tom, Evalena Marie as tough, sassy, and fiercely determined cowgirl barmaid Tori, Miko Hughes as sweet gay magician's assistant Jensen, Anthony Marks as selfish and cowardly hunk Victor, Tawny Cypress as the spunky Cindy, and Lance Reddick as rugged paramilitary group leader Ramsey. In addition, this movie does some neat tweaking of standard zombie horror conventions: The ghouls sleep standing up at night and resort to eating each other when they can't find any living people to munch on. Adrian Coreia's sharp cinematography gives the picture a nice slick look. The twangy and ominous score by Matthew Llewellyn and Sarah Schachner does the bone-rattling trick. A worthwhile fright feature.
