IrateTyrant C Great African Zombie flick worth not skipping, check it out Yes, parts of this were strangely treated with the easiest escapes from reality. The slow-moving zombies continued to pour forth from country sides devoid of life, the American engineer/soldier had no motive to be in the country for any reason, the country itself was unnamed and nonexistent... But the majority of this movie worked so well that it overcame the obstacles. It was a tad bit too long, but only by a smidge. The subplot becoming full plot technique was semi-interesting. The main actors were both barely par and barely par by fact of English as a second language. But yet, it was a truly engaging movie. The jump scares were earned and provoked through thoughtfulness on the circumstances, the blood and gore were super realistic and grisly, and the entire premise was definitely intriguing (third world stricken by zombies). The sequel to this was definitely sub-par and not as good, even though it tackled an entirely different culture and region of the world. But I recommend this movie to fans of Romero, for sure. It really gives a slice of the zombie apocalypse not often explored by its subgenre. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Logan D A USAF engineer surives the crash of an evacuation plane and is stranded on the coast of West Africa. Attempting to find another plane, he encounters an AWOL African soldier. They agree to work together to accomplish their goals while facing the undead. I loved they placed this situation in a unique setting for the genre. They filmed in Africa and the scenery is beautiful. However, the extremely slow stoic zombies are hardly scary. A better lead actor and more humor would've aided the film. My ranking: 6/10 (points for setting; negative points for lack of humor and not being scary) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Liam D A entertaining Zombie Thriller that is a throwback to the movies of old Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/24/22 Full Review Audience Member Very low-budget zombie flick. Only redeeming quality is the unique vistas of Africa that are beautiful in a stark, colorful palette. The acting is abysmal and the "adventure" is dull and repetitive but it was an interesting and different take on a worn-out genre. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review uncle p Story/Screenplay: (2.5/5) Zombies in Africa had great potential as a new and original take on the walking dead genre of film. But seriously, where are all these zombies coming from in the middle of the desert? Another blown concept. Duration/Tempo: (3.5/5) At 1 hour and 45 minutes, it's an average length movie that felt shorter. Plenty of good content and well-paced action scenes. Cast & Crew: (3.5/5) Nice performances from both Rob Freeman and Prince David Oseia. Summary: (3/5) The cast was good and the film moved along quickly, but the story was sadly flawed. A borderline thumbs down. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie is The Best!!!
