Just to give you an idea of my investment in Zombie genre movies, 50 years ago in 1968 I saw " Night of the Living Dead" (1968) at a drive-in theatre and I was hooked for life. Few have come close to that classic and most attempts have failed miserably. "The Dead" (2010) and "The Dead 2" (2014), both directed by the Ford Brothers, give zombie ophiles hope that the genre is on the rise. Both are a return to the classics~~~ Slow moving, devil-blue eyes, body parts everywhere; There is no discussion of why, or how, or zombie patient-zero, or antidotes, no attempts at humor, or any of that nonsense. The stories are simple~ Man racing to find their loved ones while battling the Undead. The Ford Brothers have mad skills~~~ excellent casting, visually appealing, understanding that less is more in the dialogue dept; Both movie's endings shared a special "Fordism" by showing the viewer that the protagonist's end is imminent...OR IS IT?

Great example of how to make an effective zombie movie,I don't mind the how's and whys of how a zombie epidemic occurs I only care how they unfold the story with this film I thought it was really good, it's the journey of a guy going to point A to point B and the wilderness he has to face in a country unknown to him, what makes this film so intriguing is where it takes place in Africa a continent full of conflicts, were civilization is plagued with war, diseases, poverty, genocide and now with zombies .Making it the worst place to be in earth.Unlike other movies or shows were our protagonists are in there hometown where they can find supplies and food and places to hide, this movie goes the extra mile in a land with high rate of poverty and chronic malnutrition, where government, law and order simply do not exist and warlords rule the land, and people are killed by the dozen every day, where HIV/AIDS and the Ebola virus are everywhere to be found and no medical treatments available, now add hordes of zombies running wild your chances are little to non.An American Air Force Engineer washes up on the shore as the sole survivor and has to find his way to a plane, he encounters a village were your not sure if it was the zombies or guerrilla that destroyed it from there he fixes a car and stars his journey, there's nothing in sight only the landscape of the African flatness and zombies, he encounters an African soldier and the two of them work together to survive, the scenery is breathtaking taking place in sub-Saharan Africa there's little to non-civilization to be found making it a lonely place to be, good part of the movie sets the characters surviving the wilderness more than the zombies, Rob Freeman gives a great performance as Lieutenant Brian Murphy a guy that just wants to go home. You will be surprised as how good this movie is specially to zombie fans this is one of the great ones.

I was glad when it ended is all I can really say. The whole thing was terrible, there was no action, the zombies were rubbish and it was /so/ boring. I didn't buy a zombie movie to sit and watch two people walking and driving around the desert for hours and the ending was rubbish as well. The whole film was basically pointless. Also some of the scenes felt like they were just chucked in at the last minute to drag the film out a bit more or something. I don't know. I generally can't think what the logic behind this film could be. Don't bother watching this, it's a waste of time. Out of all the zombie movies I've seen this is by far the worst and I definitely would not recommend it.

I'm not generally a fan of the horror genre, but I DO like zombie movies. I found the plot of this one interesting and the setting to be refreshingly different. While there are some good scenes, one of which will really pull at your heart strings, most of the movie is cliché' ridden and predictable. What to me is most annoying AND inexcusable are characters that are stupid, yet have thus far survived the zombies. I can recall at least six such instances in this movie alone. As much as I'm empathetic TOWARDS the main characters, their repeated stupidity almost makes me want to root for the zombies! See this one only if it's cheap or free and/or you want to make sure that you've seen yet another variation on the zombie theme.
