I have to say was at times better than many top Hollywood films. The story is basically survival and will the men reach safety Along the way they have different battles that are really really well don and amazing considering the budget of this film. For those who say it has no story well neither did Mad max 2 then. One of my favourite films. This is pretty inspirational too.
I think the director will be someone to watch as the way he puts these action scenes together as I'm sure he'll have Hollywood knocking his door.
Well done cast and crew!
I was pleasantly surprised by the aesthetics of this film. The mere budget of £10,000 puts certain Blockbusters to absolute shame. With a finer script, and higher level of acting an extended version of the British film could be the next Dog Soldiers meets 28 Days Later.
The key to enjoying this short is not taking it too seriously. The film is definitely aimed at B- movie lovers and if you exit the screening having not laughed then I'm afraid you are the wrong target audience.
Yes, the film does have a distinctive game-like feel to it, but this adds to the exhilarating aesthetic. Some character development is lacking, but pithy one-liners and gruesome action sequences attribute to the soldiers-kicking-ass ethos that prevails.
Having seen "Zomblies" my dream job is now a British soldier during a Zombie apocalypse – give me a kick-ass squad, unlimited ammunition, a load of zombies…and a motorbike please!
I love zombie horde films and Zomblies was an awesome surprise. What's best, the movie is free to watch on their official website. I honestly think it's better than some big-name blockbusters. Although Zomblies is not a blockbuster, the camera-work is great and special effects are good considering the low budget. There's certainly some work to do with the script, but I hope the director keeps producing this quality of film in the genre. Maybe his next film could be a little longer, as the movie runs only for 47 minutes. What I really liked is the speed of zombies. They're nothing like the zombies in many classic horror films, in which people can just walk to escape the horde. I mean, these zombies are fast as lightning! I know there's the fast vs slow zombie debate and some people may not like it. However, I think that fast zombies really bring about more action-feeling into the movie. At least it works well in Zomblies. Don't miss the scene after the closing credits.
For Gods sake – somebody please throw some real money at these guys! The creators of "Zomblies" most definitely have the talent, the drive and the will, but seemingly no money. Cinematography, editing and sound are as you would expect from Hollywood professionals. Just imagine what Mr. Reynolds could've done and can do with a larger budget – with better sets, better props and better actors. Sam Raimi remade "The Evil Dead", George Miller remade "Mad Max" – David M. Reynolds more than deserves the opportunity to remake "Zomblies". Im my opinion this is greatness in the making. If I had a million euro I would invest in a sequel/remake without hesitation – but my current holdings wouldn't even cover the cost of sending an email. May this raw talent be showered with cash in the very, very near future.
