Zombie Nation (2004)
Director: Ulli Lommel
Writer: Ulli Lommel
Synopsis: A psycho cop with a weakness for killing his female arrests gets what's coming to him when a pack of zombie women rise from their graves in order to get proper revenge.
Make it stop...
1) ACTING: The acting in this low-budget opus is really bad. And, not that I'm defending any of these "actors," the script is just as bad, and doesn't help.
2) PRODUCTION: Was anybody in charge of production? The plot / script of this movie is out of control, going this way, then that way, with dangling plot threads never to be resolved. The lighting was bad, the camera work was bad, and the sound was horrible! Minimal blood and gore. The make up of the zombies consisted of raccoon eyes. That's it. Yup. Really. Raccoon eyes. The best thing about this movie, (other than rejoicingly watching the end credits roll) is the cover art. Too bad that this zombie or even that this type of make up never appears in this movie. Allegedly, the budget for this movie was $1,500.00. Yep, that's right, $1,500.00. That is not a typo. Honestly, I can't believe this movie cost that much.
3) ZOMBIES: The only familiarities between the zombies (all 5 of them...hardly a "nation" as the title suggests...) and current day zombies are that they are indeed, dead, and that they eat flesh. That's it. Really. They walk, talk, and carry on like everyday people. They even join the police force! They then are told that they don't have to eat human flesh, and they can eat...wait for it...are ya ready...cheeseburgers. Sigh...
4) THE CAUSE: Voodoo.
5) NUDITY: minimal boobage and a penis makes an appearance.
FINAL: I know the director is not revered highly by many and has directed many a crapfest. I would've thought that Mr. Lommel would have a lot of experience to bring this low budget shlockfest to the silver screen, but I guess not. I would rather watch the deterioration of a styrofoam cup returning to nature than have to watch this ever again. Not even for completists. This is just so bad. I try to be gentle on low / no budget films, but DAMN! Avoid, avoid, avoid. This is one Nation that needs to be eradicated off the face of the planet.
RATING: 0.5 out of 5
