I was strongly advised to watch this and was seriously glad I did. You have to remember that this had practically zero budget but wisely spent what they did have on a decent cast and a well written and thought out story. One of my main concerns with Zombie films is the total implausibility of the whole scenario, from how they become Zombies in the first place, the hugely varied infection time, how no matter how fast the (sexy chick) person runs away, the mega slow, 1 legged, blind Zombie always catches up. In this they have addressed these concerns and given the Zombies a more uniform, thick skinned appearance but what is obviously lacking is the budget to cover Special Effects and Make-up which would have made a huge difference but in reality would have added little to the story so although some people just won't be able to see past that issue it's their loss because this has enough humour and along with the silly looking blood'n'guts to make this like a giant nod to the 1981 classic 'The Evil Dead'. I know I'm making a bold statement but I stand by it, 101%.
In time this film may be thought of fondly for it's great writing, excellent acting along with it's ridiculously bad effects and cheap props. A possible Zombie classic in the making.
Highly Recommended
Score: 8/10
