This had a 7.5 rating so being a fan of the zombie genre I decided to rent it. This was possibly the worst decision I ever made. The zombies are slow and not even scary, the cast are so irritating I find myself rooting for the zombies. The dialogue is ludicrous and the actors just scream and shout over each other. This is possibly the worst zombie film I have ever witnessed. Also it's filmed in that camcorder style and also in semi darkness. You would think that would add an edge to the whole endeavour but it doesn't, it just makes you wonder what the hell is going on all the time. My advice: don't bother with this garbage.

Oh my, what a load of crap!
alanpbate28 June 2013
Purchased this film on Filmflex after seeing a rating of 8.4. All I can say is that these scorings must have been written by the cast and crew. It is a dire film, disjointed, no decent storyline, non existent acting, crap cinematography......oh, the list is endless. I want my money back I want my time back. I want the hair that I pulled out watching it back Please, please, please save your time and watch paint dry somewhere! Complete and utter load of rubbish. Z list of the highest order. Why has this even been allowed on FilmFlex? It's utterly disgraceful to charge £4 for this! I would have preferred to throw the money into a lake than put a penny in the pockets of whoever commissioned this film.
Wow...This made my soul hurt...

Okay, it's time to rip this steamer to pieces... While I am a huge fan of the zombie genre, this unmitigated disaster made me want to seek damages. I will never get this time back! From the insane overacting, the plot that wasn't, and the titular character ( a black trench coat clad Blade clone) who appears for about 30 seconds in the entire film, this is 85 minutes of pure horrible.
I mean, you can't even make fun of it, it would be like slapping a blind kid.
So if you feel the need to cause yourself pain, just drive nails into your forehead. It would be less painful and far more entertaining for those around you than subjecting yourself to this pile of crap.

I LOVE well made Zombie films and even a few "dodgy ones" but there is nothing on this Earth I despise more than Zombie films like this. It is shot on a camcorder and if done properly (rec-spanish version) can make for a good film. I will describe the film as follows:
Give a camcorder to a bunch of teens with no acting skills and script. Tell them to aimlessly run around and shout over each other. Get some of their friends to smear fake blood on their faces and grin at the camera. the result-The Zombinator.
Its actually making angry that I watched this drivel, 90 minutes of my life i won't get back.
How this film got 8.4/10 makes me speechless. I'm guessing the people involved in the film have been on here voting. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

Terrible acting, shear stupidity. Worse than the Blair Witch. I puked because I ate Felato with this and the camera was ALL OVER, loud screaming. My next door neighbor looks scarier than these zombies and has better make up.
If your feces could make a film, it would be this. It takes half the movie to get to a zombie. If stupid could be defined by a movie, this is the movie that would define it. I think it is the worst movie I have ever seen in my lifetime.
It doesn't even make sense. Its like a bunch of really dumb teens smoked a lot of crack and decided to make a movie

Wow
First off I enjoy a) horror movies b) b-grade movies (or lower), and c) b-grade zombie flicks
As for spoilers - it is a massive whale sized pile of crap of all the bad film crap I have self abused by watching this in in the top 20 in at least No. 15 position
The acting was varied from bad to insipid. Sorry guys and gals you may have put some effort in but you should not have skipped acting school. many seem to have enrolled themselves in the Charles Bronson School of emotional acting but failed due to lack of range.
There was a script? I thought they were just drunken ad-libbing their lines.
Directing? there was?
Cinematography at best had a half arsed effort by someone who had heard of a movie camera. There was clear on the job learning as no previous training could be seen.

I picked up this DVD at a local library. The jacket cover mentioned Youngstown, Ohio, and as I am from there, I wanted to see if it was indeed filmed in Youngstown. As it turns out it was, showing several localities I recognized. Unfortunately, there was no plot, the dialogue was not scripted, and scenes appeared to be randomly pieced together. On the plus side there were a few funny moments, including zombies being more interested in getting into a pizza place than attacking those outside (maybe they wanted a pie), the "kids" telling the Zombinator that he looked like the Terminator, and the "kids" telling those filming to stop filming (if only they had listened). Unfortunately, a few funny moments do not make a movie. I was surprised that something this bad was even released. It probably would have been more interesting if I had filmed myself painting my house. Maybe the producers thought they could sell the DVD to the cast members and their families.
If I looked up God awful in the dictionary...

It's a weird feeling when you want everyone one in this movie to be killed for all the wrong reasons.
A fashion designer's documentary suddenly becomes found footage of a zombie apocalypse.
I'm not sure if the acting is so bad because they want to make it look real, but the bad acting is really distracting. You can tell that this is all ab lib without a script, but I feel the acting troop needs some lessons in improv.
I notice that the angles in the movie are impossible. The movie has one film crew made up of two people, yet they are capable of getting these victims from every angle and capture different people in different rooms all at once. This would not matter at all if the people they were capturing were interesting to watch. It sucked so bad I needed other things to focus on.
It feels like a group of kids got together and made a Zombie movie for fun based on an interesting premise. I can appreciate that, I just couldn't watch it.

zandurian3 June 2014
I tried to watch this movie all the way through. I never made it all the way through for the lack of caring for ANY of the characters. No one in this movie is memorable as an actor, not even Patrick Kilpatrick. I fast forwarded through endless dialogue to see if anything ever happened, it did not. The storyline was an absolute mess. Boring, absolutely boring. There was no entertainment value in this movie at all. Usually I can find someone or something to take away for future reference. This movie left me wondering if I should ever take a chance on low budget indie flicks. You should do yourself a favor and make sure you do not rent this movie..ever.
Oh god, oh god, why...why...why

I have never wished more that i had watched a trailer or read a review before watching this film. This is the masterclass in what not to do when making a film.
1. Give actors absolutely no character or comprehensible script...instead tell them just to shout things that sound like words repeatedly and discuss the philosophical points of zombies and ghosts...
2.Make sure the camera never focuses, frames or shows what it is that is trying to be shown. Also don't drop the sound mic throughout an entire zombie apocalypse...
3 Whatever you do, don't have a plot, a plan or a sense of a beginning, middle or an end...
4 Loosely attempt to criticize the government using two dimensional characters.
5. wait i just remembered that the band in the beginning were actually very good! if only they did a soundtrack for the film...
Quite frankly no film has ever inspired me to write a review but this one i felt it my civic duty to warn people not to watch. do not waste the time you will never get it back!

What a surprise
brianskeet6 July 2013
The reviews of this film are shameful. As a very esoteric film maker who adores horror I was pleasantly surprised by this beautiful film.
With the feel of "Cloverfield" without being knowing and this is as good as "World War Z" which cost a lot more.
I am sort of tired of zombies, but after I saw this film I offered the director to make a movie out of my slate
The acting is better than usual for this type of film and the director should be celebrated for his imagination and the creation of a world that unnerves and makes you uncomfortable.
In cast you have not worked it out I kind of dug this film.
I strongly recommend it.
And please ignore the naysayers.
This is definitely worth watching.

Oh, goody! Just what the horror genre needs: Yet another hackneyed zombie opus done with a tired pseudo-documentary "found footage" angle ala Cloverfield and The Blair Witch Project. Well, this one strikes out something rotten in every possible way: Flat and sloppy (non)direction by Sergio Myers, zero tension or creepy atmosphere, cruddy and unconvincing CGI blood, annoying wafer-thin characters who spend way too much screen time yelling at and bickering with each other, a tediously drawn-out build-up, monotonous profanity-ridden dialogue, nausea-inducing hand-held shaky-cam nonsense, poor acting from a lame no-name cast, a trite government conspiracy subplot (yep, the government's behind the zombie outbreak), a forgettable score, and, worst of all, the pathetic wannabe cool and macho titular leather coat-clad zombie butt-stomper (a hopelessly wooden third-rate Big Arn impression by Joseph Aviel). Token name thespian Patrick Kilpatrick tries hard as an evil colonel, but he's unfortunately fighting a game, but vain uphill battle that he just ain't gonna win. To add further abject insult to already appalling injury, the use of multiple camera set-ups and different camera angles totally undermines the credibility of the whole faux documentary aspect of this turkey. Reportedly shot in a mere four and a half days without a script, this one's the absolute pits.
I still cant get the hate out of me

Zombies + Terminator = The Zombinator
What a absolute wet dream of a concept! was really looking forward to this one.. because, well because its called ZOMBINATOR!!
So how did they stuff it up so badly?!? Absolute travesty on what it could and should have been.
I have never seen a more unlikable, irritating, and obnoxious group of "actors" in any of the 1-2 star movies I have been working through.
The ONLY highlight in this badly written dumpster fire, is our modern day Jesus, the man, the myth, the legend, everyone's favourite all rounder
BOBBY!!
I admit to have written a "few" tongue in cheek over appraisals of terrible terrible movies.. but they all had something enjoyable or redeeming about them..
This.. This is pure cancer of the Urethra.
Anyone who says this movie is above a 1 star is a lying, sadistic skid mark of humanity and deserves a vomit and excrement smoothie!!

JoAnn (Joanne Tombo) like runs a fashion blog and like has an annoying habit of using "like" all the time when she talks. She is being filmed for a documentary as they travel the town in winter. The crew goes to some railroad tracks where bodies are dumped then to a wake of Bobby who died in Afghanistan. Here we meet The Colonel (Patrick Kilpatrick) who brought back his ashes and see a local band get plugged.
About 19 minutes into this 75 minute film, we have zombies. At this point the camera work becomes impossible. Kids screaming in the dark. And the question of who is filming during a zombie attack and why aren't the zombies bothering with the light and camera man? Our group of young adults seek refuge in an old Catholic school where they encounter another camera crew filming "Ghost Busters." Together they annoy us to no end.
Eventually they encounter The Zombinator (Joseph Aviel) who explains why Youngstown is infested with zombies which is mentioned in the Amazon Review by-lines. And while all this is going on Yanna (Diana Lotus) decides to break-up with Scott (Scott Alin) who only takes her to zombie parties, while Marcus (Justin Brown) tells us of his boyhood father issues.
The film goes from "could be good" to "remarkably dumb and boring" with dumb and boring scenes lasting way too long.
Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

I'll admit this by far isnt the best zombie on the market, but it also isnt the worst. I own this movie and gotta say once you get pass the shaky camera and all the high school film project it's funny how stupid it is. I'm watching it again right now.

This hideous attempt at making a motion picture has to be a contestant for the worst movie EVER ! I can find absolutely NO redeeming feature in this trash. It has obviously been made by a group of juveniles who THINK they know far, far more than they do. They need to grow up, LEARN, study, watch a few hundred classic movies, and then they will realise what a piece of serious crud this flick is. For the first five minutes or so, I thought that someone must have recorded a home movie on to this DVD, which was part of a bulk lot I bought on eBay. When I saw that in fact it was the beginning of the movie, I cringed and almost threw up. It is painful to watch this, painful ! Please do NOT waste a moment of your time on this garbage. You have been warned! Rated 1 because a zero is not available to me.
Ahhhhhh. I want my time back.

Sweet Mary Mother of God. Millenials really need to leave drugs alone. I knew going it this would be bad. But goodnight this turd is a putrified piece of crap. Nonexistent acting, no plot, no real action, Goofy characters doing unbelievably stupid things, followed by horrid special effects. While watching or rather riffing this mess with my wife, I commented "it's like they just gave a camera to a group of barflys, and asked them to be actors without any script or direction". Little that I knew at the time, this movie really didn't have any script. Sorry but I don't think improve works for any film. Especially one with untalented cast and crew. The zombies are incredibly slow, weak and nonthreatening. ***SPOILER ALERT*** Several characters make mind numbing stupid decisions like, walking up to a glass door full of zombies, to admire a cute zombie, and wait while said zombies break the glass and slowly walk to vote you. And where the heck is the so called Zombinator. Not is the any reason for the antagonist character reason for being. The paramilitary group is using RealTree hunters camp.
Guess there was no budget for second hand military surplus clothing. Two 12 year olds and a have dozen 5th graders could make a better movie. For me this gets a firm -500 score.
