You won't be disappointed!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This film is decidedly average. It has all the usual horror clichés. A group of kids in a remote area (in this case an island), some ridiculous decision making (I think there's something dangerous out there so I'll wander through the woods shouting "hello"), and various other stupid decisions, people who think they have escaped the zombies only to turn around and be eaten by one. A bus that for some reason doesn't start, then does, then doesn't. A gun that runs out of bullets just at the wrong time....and so the list goes on.The zombies were interesting, not your Walking Dead shufflers but some of them would give Usain Bolt a good workout. While that may not be your traditional zombie, and probably totally unrealistic, it made them more scary for me. I've often thought the answer to most zombie movies should be just to run away.I've seen some slating on these reviews about the affects but personally I thought they were quite effective, reminded me a little bit of the Orcs in Lord of the Rings, although not so well finished.Overall, 5 out of 10, C+, shows promise but could do better.

OK, so this is not totally totally bad and awful to get one as rating... But I also think that three would be too much...So, this gets two from me.This is a horror movie about zombies. Or some creatures that should be zombies but they are ... whatever. Whatever is the word to describe the 'costumes' and effects. Really not convincing. Not scary at all. It has some gruesome moments but they are poorly done.The acting is that of a high school drama meets wannabe horror actors. Very bad. No one is really convincing. And the girl which found her new best hobby - killing zombies and walking around with a gun is rather silly. The professor of those students is no comment. But I guess, it is worth watching only if you plan one day to film a horror movie to see what things ( and they are plenty!) not to do.Cheap effects of smoke are laughable. Michael Jackson Thriller's kinda bumping into houses throughout the floor is silly. Night haunting with surprising lights in the bus is funny. So many things are just awfully done.

Six forensic undergrads embark on a scientific expedition to a remote island that was once used as illegal biological testing grounds for life-term prisoners.This movie is WAYYYY better than some of the reviews suggests.Yes, the undead are sort of cheesie.And yes, it's a flawed film that sometimes borders on totally unbelievable.But's really a decent concept and a lot of it is unexpectedly good.Plus it's got a great surprise ending. Wait for it!I think think this was a solid six.Watch it and judge for yourself!

Arriving at a remote campsite for a class project, forensics students learn the area was a ground for dumping toxic waste years ago when the patients of a prison experiment found there revive and vicious attack them, forcing them to get out alive.This turned out to be quite an enjoyable and entertaining zombie effort with a lot to like about it. One of the better features is the zombies themselves, which starts off nicely with their introduction as another supposed part of their field trip only for a nasty surprise to await them, also manages to work rather well with them within the film itself. Deformed beyond belief with some rather nasty looking wounds, exposed veins, charred skin and a decomposed look that comes off really well and is truly frightening at times, especially with the way their actions are involved. Managing to incorporate the more ravenous side of their behavior makes for a rather imposing villain here as they relentlessly charge after their victims and don't seem interested in anything other than devouring their prey which makes them formidable enemies in here. As well, this provides the film with plenty of fantastic gore scenes throughout as they initially strike against the group before getting the tables turned, so there's plenty to like from the first attacks out on the lake or in the tangled, twisting cluster of tree-branches that really signals where the film hits its stride in terms of attacks. Surprisingly, this also affords the movie numerous amounts of high-end action scenes as the sleeping shack encounter, command-center ambush and the extended, thrilling high-way escape on the prison bus are all extremely fun and exciting action sequences that are just immensely entertaining and pack more of a punch than expected considering the low-budget that rears it's head from time-to-time. There's a quality running throughout this that really does betray the low-budget roots of this that really sticks out quite noticeably on the devoured bodies that doesn't quite match the rest of the movie and somewhat gives away the film's sources. As well, the opening assignment and getting them out to the area is itself quite dull with the endless time actually setting up the procedures to be conducted rather than having been done beforehand as well as being forced to spend time with the bitter, resentful head of the project who wears thin quite early in the film. Otherwise, there's not a lot wrong with this one.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
