Brilliant and touching

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Bessie Smyth
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Jenni Devyn
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

We start out in the evening with a farmer investigating the source of an unusual sound on his property. What he finds is a mad cow hungry for a snack. Our next shot is day time and an annoying couple are driving down a rural road and hit a man. Zombie madness ensues. The female in the relationship survives the zombie run-in and spends the rest of the film hiking about meeting other survivors and ineptly attempting to fight for her life. She is in the entire film and consistently did things that annoyed me. The support cast was decent however. The gravedigger is very likable, and the coach and his wife add some humor. The pacing is odd and some scenes go on forever. There is some dizzying film work in some early scenes. I thought it was actually interesting initially but it made me feel a little nauseous after a while. The worse thing about this film was the continuity. There are many scenes where they show a group of zombies descending and then when it goes to a tight battle shot there is only one zombie to contend with. There are also a couple strange moments involving zombies not acting like they should that I can only call plot holes, because they didn't share the joke with me. The gore is decent and is quite plentiful at times but they make use of a single weapon too often and these scenes begin feeling repetitive. They are a little stingy with the zombie make up also. Sounds like a lot of complaints, but there are a handful of brilliant moments. The scene where we first meet the coach is amusing and the introduction to his wife is hilarious. It is obvious the makers of this film are attempting to amuse and entertain as much as scare but they left a few too many holes for me to step in. Just squeezes in there for a passing mark. Rent at your own risk.

A very low-budget Irish film with partly incomprehensible accents. However, it's just a zombie film so the dialogue hardly matters. Time isn't wasted in getting on with the mayhem, no long dull introduction here. But there is nothing new and revolutionary, either (nor does it have to be). And how can there be? Unless you consider the new concept of "sleeping zombies" worth a celebration. The violence is quite silly. I've never seen such soft zombies in any movie before! The blunt end of a mere shovel can be thrown at a zombie and will PIERCE him straight through, as if he's made of butter. The heroine uses her high-heel shoes to launch them at a zombie's face and the not-so-sharp heels cut through the face as if it were made of wax, not skin and bone. Apparently the human body softens up, turns to jelly almost, after it's been zombified. These are not meant to be criticisms, I'm just mentioning them for the hell of it.

This Irish movie (which is said to be the first horror film made in Ireland with Irish money) had a budget of under $100,000 and it is pretty impressive. The movie is highly derivative of both Romero and Raimi, but it is original enough (especially with 'mad cow disease' as the zombie root and the setting of the Irish countryside) that it doesn't come across as a blatant rip-off. There are several scenes set at nighttime that are effectively frightening. This movie also has a crazy sense of humor, mostly seem in the zombie attack sequences. Handicapped zombies, sleeping zombies, zombie cows, and death by high heel--what is not to love here?

This movie, with no lie, brings me back to the original feel of Night of the Living Dead & Dawn of the Dead. The story was simple, the characters where great, but most of all the zombies and the gore factor were classic B movie. I mean that out of respect as a true B movie zombie/horror movie fan.It is refreshing to see a movie with an extremely low budget,depend on old school horror movie techniques and great gory story lines. There was not a slow moment in this movie. It kept me on my toes, and I didn't want it to end.I think Dead Meat 2 would be a f@#k'n great idea, only if it had the same writers and the same budget.Favourate lines in movie:"i heard that every time someone dies, another star appears."" well there's a lot of stars out tonight"Very Dawn of the Dead. The whole "when hell is full, the dead will walk the earth ." , kind of thing.
