Storyline

In World War II, Stalin created a top secret nerve gas, which went missing shortly after the Battle of Stalingrad. Over seventy years later, the horrific biochemical weapon resurfaces in modern day Bulgaria, turning the local inhabitants into frenzied mutants and causing the dead to rise from the grave. Amidst the chaos, US Special Forces Captain John McGahey (Paul Logan) and NATO Doctor Ana Bennett (Manal El-Feitury) must escape the infected zone before the Code Red alert is raised and everything is destroyed. Now it's survival at all costs...

Trivia

The Battle of Stalingrad, now Volgograd, in southern Russia, the then Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, was fought between the 23rd of August 1942 to the 2nd of February 1943. Considered the bloodiest of all battles because of its reputation of fierce close-quarters combat and direct assaults on civilians in air raids, where at least two million people died and the annihilation and destruction of the German 6th Army; a field army unit of the German Wehrmacht during World War II.

User Reviews

Good effort

Surprisingly good. As a zombie movie fan I am constantly sifting through terrible zombie movies hoping to find one that is good, and this actually is. Watched this film with an open mind but not holding out much hope that it would be anything above par, but the acting was good, albeit with a stereotypical militant loner joint lead, locations were good, as were the effects/visuals, and i actually cared about a number of the characters. The opening sequence was filmed brilliantly and set the tone well. I do feel that the conclusion fell someone flat in relation to the rest of the film hence not giving a higher score but overall an enjoyable experience.
