John C I've just gone to review 'Undead Apocalypse' and found that it's the film-makers' first movie they made after they'd left college. Now I feel really bad about dunking on it as it's clear they've tried their best. It's about - as the slightly overly-dramatic title may suggest - a zombie uprising, this time taking place in quite possibly the most empty university campus in Florida you've ever seen. The trouble is budget. They don't have the acting talent. They don't have the make-up and special effects and, being the producers' first film, they still appear to have a lot to learn about the film-making process. A couple of things that are very obvious are the pacing the soundtrack. The film starts with a big long conversation that drags on and, yes, I'm guessing they thought it would build character, but it's just long and boring. Then there's the soundtrack. Whether it's happening during the afore-mentioned conversation or when the few zombies you see on screen at one time are attacking, loud opera music is played. I guess the film-makers must have thought this would add to the dramatic tension, but it just doesn't work. I hope the people who made this learn from their mistakes and go on to better things. It's clear they have a passions for the genre, but everything here is just so 'student-like' that it's hard to see past it, plus the characters themselves are hardly fully fleshed out so you won't really care when each gets an off-screen death to save on the gore budget. During the drought of zombie films that was the nineties, this one might have been seen as a novelty. However, we're now living in a post 'Resident Evil' and 'The Walking Dead' world where zombie movies and TV shows are ten a penny, so there's so much out there that's better than this if you fancy your fix of the undead.
