I first saw this in 2011 on a dvd which I own.

Revisited it recently on a fast forward mode.

There is nothing new in this film but that is ok. What is bothering is that the movie is plain boring.

There is a guy who is shown doing push ups.

Man, those push ups looks so fake.

The makers thot that they will create something unique n in that process they made talkative zombies n zombies who are armed.

Generous with a 2 cos it's not directed by Boll but only financed by him.

The poster of the dvd cover is the only saving grace.

Well, seeing the condition of recent Italian movies or movies directed by Italian filmmakers, I really feel sorry for em.

Obsessive mad scientist Gyno (a fine performance by Claudio Marmugi) sends no-nonsense rugged soldier Igor (ably played with fierce gusto by Alex Lucchesi) and his more sensitive buddy Alen (a solid portrayal by Guglielmo Favilla) out into a dangerous and desolate zombie-infested wasteland to retrieve several undead test subjects for his nefarious experiments. Our intrepid duo encounter a deranged artist (a memorably nutty Roberto Marlotti),a vicious group of neo-Nazi scumbags, and tough teenage girl survivor Cristina (a winningly scrappy turn by Elisa Ferretti) during their perilous pilgrimage.

Writers/directors Luca Boni and Marco Ristori relate the familiar, yet still enjoyable and engrossing story at a steady pace, maintain an unflinchingly grim'n'gritty tone throughout, deliver a handy helping of graphic gore, toss in a few neat and perverse twists, and do a spot-on credible and compelling job of depicting a harsh and godforsaken world that's bereft of both hope and humanity. Lucchesi and Favilla make for utterly engaging protagonists; their snappy rat-a-tat-tat banter and relaxed natural chemistry give this picture a substantial kick in the pants and prevent the narrative from hitting any tedious snags. Paco Ferrari's muted cinematography provides an appropriately gloomy washed-out look. The gnarly hard-rocking soundtrack rates as another sweet major plus. A worthwhile addition to the zombie horror sub-genre.

This is a "Uwe Bell Presents" Italian zombie film. The government has messed up once again causing a zombie creating virus, except to confuse us, Zombies are called "Eaters." Women are affected more easily than men. Our film focuses on one group of survivors who are looking for a cure and are trying to survive at the same time. Two of the muscle men venture out and barter with other pockets of survivors, including a memorable Nazi group who conduct life and death games with the zombies.

The plot is a little more involved, but that is basically it. I enjoyed the special zombie effects, the "living" body parts and large amounts of blood. The characters were not likeable, in fact you ended up hating the one guy. The film injects humor, at one point our he-man is singing to "Wham!" and feels he must explain that he is not gay. However the film has too many points that drag that could have been more effective with some decent dialogue.

This is another great zombie film to come out of Italy. How do those guys do it?
