Don't understand the low rating...There's SO many worse American made films...

[AndyVanScoyoc · 5/10 · 22 February 2019]

Russians speaking English...and doing a good job of it.

Considering the language barrier alone, it's not too bad. Much of it makes no sense, sometimes the acting is REALLY bad and how the zombies didn't escape out into the city, I don't understand, because it was never really explained well enough to make sense, but I've still seen worse.

Language problems came into play many times as, during some of the "excitement" the actors were difficult to understand due to rapid speech, loud background noise, etc.

But seriously... I suffered through MANY other zombie films while flipping through Amazon Prime, so bad I just turned them off, before I found this one.

At least this one held my attention, despite all the serious flaws.

Despite the problems with this film, it's a true low budget work that tries.

Most supposed low budget films aren't low budget at all, but rather just poor excuses for fund wasting, due to laziness, needless schlock, etc.

This film is obviously truly low, low budget, so props on at least giving it a shot!

I've seen so much worse than this film, I really have.

Cool music too!

Great movie and great pilot for a possible interesting series.

The idea was born from the minds of Andreas Marfori and Paola Mingoni, with the purpose of filming a series of episodes, this should be the pilot/first episode. For now the continuation of the series is uncertain, but with the help of Viktor Bulankin, producer and organizer of Russian film festivals, they managed to shoot this medium-length movie, that probably will find a distribution in Canada, Russia and maybe USA.

The Movie itself is shot in digital in Moscow, the locations we see in it are real Russian places and are awesome. The actors are pretty good considering the filming difficulties, as the film was shot in English, with a Russian cast. The story remains vague because the plot itself had to be developed on several episodes, but the screenplay is really interesting and well written by Paola Mingoni.

For what it is, a no-budget movie that serves as a pilot for a possible series, it's pretty cool. Form now it received good feedbacks from the festivals where it was projected. So we just have to wait for other Italian-Russian collaborations and new productions from Andreas Marfori.
