Virus Undead (2008)
"There used to be a wine cellar here but I don't know if it's still here."

Germany is rightly credited with making outstanding cars and world wars but is not known for making good horror movies. Unfortunately this trend continues with Virus Undead.

The plot isn't too complicated, a mad scientist dies and his heir and two friends go to take care of the estate. It's not long before they meet an evil biker / hot dog salesman who has it in for the young scientist. The acting isn't just wooden, it's hewn from the Black Forest. Not one single character is in any way believable but the 'ich bin ein dude' character finally proves Germans can be funny.

The plot is stupid and badly executed but the real laughs come from the wobbling head effect when people become zombies. I noticed another reviewer praising the attention to detail and if you are also stunned by the sight of blood on a cockoo clock then knock yourself out with this movie.

There's some laughs to be had at the plain awful execution of this film but not a lot. If you're a zombie fan then it might be worth a watch, it has its moments but a three out of ten still feels a bit generous despite this being a low budget effort.
