You will need drugs to get through this movie!

1) ACTING: While there are no thespians of high quality here, the acting isn't all THAT bad. It's not THAT good, either, but, you know what I mean. it's pretty much hit or miss in this film. Some actors could do great in one scene and then the next scene was horrible! Which relates to the actual script itself, but I digress...

2) PRODUCTION: The lighting is bad. And what was with all the RED lighting?! The soundtrack was bad, the filming was bad...the only good thing about this one was the special effects. While now outdated, (this movie is from 1993), I have to admit the special effects department must've had a field day! It was almost as if each effect had to top the last one! Blood, gore and goo abounds!!

3) THE ZOMBIES: The zombies varied from one end of the extreme to the next. Some were the good ol' favorites we've come to love, and some seemed to be regular folk with a little bit of zombie makeup on their faces!

4)THE CAUSE: Man made street drug called Ozone.

5) NUDITY: None, not even during the childbirth scene!

FINAL: Aside from the special effects, the only other good thing about this movie was the DVD cover. Which, in itself, is probably a BAD thing, since it lures you in by making it seem like it's a pretty good movie, with its plot description and pics. I think if you watched this one with a group of friends, it would be more enjoyable than if you watched it by yourself.

RATING: 1.5 out of 5
