Andy B The world has been infected with a virus called Lazarus. The main characters work for a TV channel and they are becoming frustrated at censorship of their news reports. Three decide to head out and try to send the real news out on line. When I started watching this, I checked when it was made as some of it looked as though this was a satire on the media during Covid - but actually this was made 14 years beforehand. And that would give it a level of subtlety that it just doesn't have. There are special effects - but they are poor. There is acting - also poor and, unfortunately, two of the leads are particularly bad. In the end, it's a cheap attempt at a zombie film. The adverts particularly amused me : Birman and Birman who specialise in Reclamation and Reburial of those loved ones who have become infected. The advisory ad "just play dead" is an excellent parody of government information films put out about nuclear war. But they are the high points in what is generally a weak film. Some people have complained that this ignores the subtlety of Romero - personally, I think they're overstating it as Romero's wasn't exactly that subtle in the first place. This is not a radical reinterpretation of the zombie film, but I enjoyed it more than Zack Snyders overblown attempt.
