a couple return from their overnight romantic mountain getaway to discover the world overrun by zombies. they are rescued and find themselves holed up on a mountaintop army base (supposedly a deserted NORAD base but it looks suspiciously like a cell phone tower) among a diverse group of predictably argumentative survivors, including a religious nut, an over the top macho farmer, a car salesman, a marine and a porn star & her daughter. suddenly, the virgin girlfriend is pregnant. what might aliens and the mysterious comet have to with all of this? and wow, what's in herbert's pants? also, see if you can spot the not-so-subtle homage to "day of the dead". for a low-budget effort, it held my interest - it has a few good moments and the acting is mostly decent.
This is another low budget piece of crap zombie movie from Lionsgate.
A few people hold up in an abandoned military installation after a comet hits the Earth and causes most humans to turn into zombies.There is some talk of reproduction and some poking around in the crotches of the zombies and a bunch of other silly stuff.I guess the genital exams was an attempt to try and do something different in a zombie movie.The DVD box boasts "2 billion zombies" but we end up seeing only about 2 dozen poorly made up zombies in this puke pile of a movie.
The plot doesn't make sense .The gore is phony looking and pretty mild.One set of very small breasts are shown and that's about the most interesting thing this sorry mess of a movie had to offer.
It's to the point once you see those big metal gears turning when the Lionsgate logo starts that you might as well hit the eject button and get the DVD out cause you know it's gonna blow.

OK, I've read quite a few comments saying this was the worst film they've ever seen... obviously you haven't seen too many films if this one is at the bottom, try Gothic Vampires or others in the same league, then you'll see really bad.
This movie wasn't supposed to be scary or too serious, it was meant to be a spoof with some dumb ideas backing it it to make the audience laugh. Didn't the shirt the big black guy put on in the middle of the film give that away... not to mention the craziness at the end. It wasn't the worst, but was definitely down there with the rest of the B-genre films. If I had friends who wanted a non-serious, lets make fun of it while drinking or having a good time, I'd mention this just for the off-beat crap you see in it.

Inept and lifeless zombie movie. We've seen it all before and usually much much better. Cast does OK with a dumb and derivative script, but only Roshelle Pattison shines as the hero's girlfriend, providing a nicely expressive performance that makes her pain and worry very real. Style is marred by a sub-zero budget, and it shows (i.e., such as the autopsy scene where the camera keeps cutting to character reactions as they watch an alien lifeform coming out of a human victim, but the director never cuts to the lifeform itself, until we see it vaguely scurrying away). Character motivation and development is nonexistent and we never learn to care about any of the characters. This is hum-drum movie-making-by-numbers with very little appeal.
I took this movie for New Year party and I think I couldn't make a better choice. I am quite used to watching bad movies (hey, I do my major on 50s sci-fi films), but there's always a movie that sets a new low. A friend of mine made something very similar for like 200 bucks, this stinker cost about 10 000x more money. The only three nice things about this movie are the lighting, Sabrina Gennarino and the fact it really makes you laugh out loud at times. Director has no clue how to set up a plot (basically if you miss the title scene, you have no idea what this is all about), he splices in scenes you have no idea what they mean. What appalled me in a special way was the horrible sound mix - every line is cut sharp before its reverb can finish. You may not spot it right down, but you will feel something is wrong with the sound. Special effects are laughably bad - monster is made of rubber with no animatronics at all, image effects look like made by someone with one day training in After Effects. Gore effects are nice, though.
If you want something REALLY bad for having a great time with friends who cannot stomach older films, get a copy of Day of Darkness. You are guaranteed to have some baaad movie fun.
