By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

After buying this film, I was dismayed to learn it was sold on dvd-rs. After trying the disc, I learned I was sold the wrong product. No fun splatter gore film for me. Instead I got a disc containing some kind of inspirational college courses. I cannot comment on the merit of the film, obviously, but I can however state that DoppleGanger Films are scam artists, and I wouldn't recommend purchasing anything from them. I will NOT be seeking this film out again, apologies to the filmmakers, but maybe handle your business a bit better next time?

"To kako - Stin epohi ton iroon" is the second movie of "To kako" and in my opinion this movie is better than the first because it has many ancient dialogs between the actors who actually speaks ancient Greek and that was something which none expected to see. Again we have a big cast of actors who are popular in Greece and some of them and abroad.This movie starts from the last movie's end. These people who survived from the zombies have now to do their best to survive not only from them but also from some people who got crazy and kill them all for no reason. Finally the thing that I liked the most in this movie was the connection between the ancient Athens and Athens now days and how this connection will play a key role to the evolution of the movie.

I did go into this expecting to be frightened and instead I found it to be absolutely hilarious- but that's not a bad thing! The characters are funny, if a little shallow, but this is a horror movie so what do you really expect? The film even plays on the stupidity of the horror movie plot conventions (especially relevant to Zombie films) and the characters therein by making no effort to hide the ridiculousness of their survival, adventures and the plot line in general.I'm not Greek, as I realise some of you other reviewers are, I'm British and I still thought it was fantastic; I saw it at Edinburgh film festival where a respectable crowd watched it laughing in unison at the funny bits and clapping at the end. For such a low budget film it was great, I don't really know what people expect a low budget film to be able to do with 'Hollywood Effects', they cost an arm and a leg and often are just as silly if not worse than this film achieves.Sure the plot was unlikely, the effects were questionable, but all in all it was funny, entertaining and I was more than happy to suspend my disbelief and just enjoy this bloody brilliant little film from a country only making around 30 films a year!(numbers given by the film's director who did a little talk and was a funny man himself) I would fully recommend this as a comedy-horror film.

This sequel of the 2005 movie has the same purpose as the first one:It's there to entertain,it's not a horror film it's a zombie parody, a Greek everyday parody, an ancient Greek parody.When I saw this, everyone was laughing in the theater.It's a FUN movie,gore is everywhere in a ridicule way,heads are popping in the screen all the time, the lines are simple but quite entertaining with pop culture references flying all the way,we see zombies in mantles and tunics ,the scenario is 100% predictable but really,who cares?-Don't see it if you want to feel horror emotions-Don't see it if you want to see any depth in scenario /character development.-Don't see it if you want to see any Hollywood-like effects.-Don't see it if you want to see astonishing actors and actBut I highly recommend it to any (Greek) that wants to have 88 really awesome minutes.The visual effects are good for Greek standards ,bit comic like deaths,but you can see the increase in budget to the first movieArgyris Thanasoulas (Argyris) and Antreas Kontopoulos ( Lt.Vakyrtis) are the only notable actors that play above average, the rest (big crew) is mediocre at best.The story begins on the end of the First ''Kako'' movie.The survivors meet up with a group of other barricaded survivors and they not only need to take care of the zombies but other random Greek that have taken advantage of the chaos and shoot random moving targets (zombie or not). In the meantime we take small flashbacks into ancient Greece where the zombie apocalypse has happened as well and we learned about how they faced them.In my opinion this is the way Greek cinema should move on. We will never have the CGI or the scenario background or the huge budgets to go face to face with international movies,so we rather parody them.As for foreign people ,you might get a DVD release of this sooner or later in the US,I'd only suggest you if you really want to see every zombie movie out there since the Greek jokes and culture references might not touch you.
