In the wake of a deadly SARS outbreak that's turned ordinary folks into flesh-eating zombies, Thailand stands alone as the only nation to block the pandemic. That is, until the virus finds its way into a crowded Bangkok apartment complex.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
'Sars Wars: Bangkok Zombie Crisis' would be a perfect candidate to show to a group of people drinking and ready for some fun. It is high energy, seriously slapstick and it's packed full of Zombies! They don't make you wait long for the action. The story isn't terribly important so build up is slim. A government official holds a press conference assuring the public that Bangkok is perfectly safe from the deadly mutated version of the Sars Virus currently rampaging Africa. Meanwhile, a girl gets kidnapped and we visit dad while he watches the video sent to him demanding a ransom. Then you're pretty much in the quarantined building where lot's and lot's of people become Zombies. If dealing with zombies isn't enough, there is also a giant snake wandering about swallowing people whole. The ending is ridiculous which even the characters acknowledge and actually have a good chuckle at the viewers expense. The wonderfully wacky gags, costumes and characters are as entertaining as the over the top situations they get plunked into. Had it been a little more liberal with the blood and gore I would have given this one a perfect score. It is funny, fast paced and is an absolute blast. Did I mention there are tons of zombies and a giant snake?! What more do you want?! Highly Recommended!
At one point in the movie a bomb is activated via remote control, which is fine except that the remote activates a 12 minute timer. Timers on bombs allow you to set a bomb and get away from it, remotes allow you to detonate the bomb instantly from a distance. Using a remote to activate a 12 minute timer on a bomb is preposterous. Other than that the movie is flawless and will probably be used as supplementary educational material for future generations. The humor in the movie is zany off-the wall goofery but, it hits on most marks. The film gets a bit hard to stand when the actions scenes happen which really consist of people standing around like a poorly directed youtube entry.
I've seen this film in Thailand.My cousin is Thai , my mother is Thai but father is American. I met my cousin and I they open this film to show me what about Thailand's first zombie film.The Film is very very stupid , it is terrible joke and awful effect. But I like the plot story and many scenes , I think some scene look like 'Titanic' when Liu blow whistle.At the end of film (It let me down) Khun Krabii switch the remote and the bomb stop ? how can it stop ? how can bomb stop ? and fake Liu is gay then , I can't love this film anymore!!!The Animation is good but some scene VERY BAD too.In fact , AVERAGE , I give 7/10.
Look I know Thailand's film industry is only just getting worldwide recognition and I hate to pick on the little guy, but some of these comments... come on, people. I know it's not totally fair to judge a Thai film like this by the standards of a more mature film industry like Hollywood or Hong Kong but I do think if this had been made in America it would be widely reviled as a piece of crap.My biggest problem is when people start comparing this to Brain Dead or Sean of the Dead or god forbid any of the Romero films. That's just an insult to those vastly superior movies. If Uwe Boll made Scary Movie 5 we'd have a pretty close approximation of Sars Wars. Not to say you can't enjoy this movie in the right mood and in the right company if you don't mind groan-inducing humor and bad CG. It can be fun, though incredibly stupid fun that could easily have been written by a fairly bright 12 year old. A certain type of person will like this (specifically 12 year old boys, either actual or just in spirit) but lets not act like it's something it's not.
