Zomblies (2010)
nice but short
I love zombie horde films and Zomblies was an awesome surprise. What's best, the movie is free to watch on their official website. I honestly think it's better than some big-name blockbusters. Although Zomblies is not a blockbuster, the camera-work is great and special effects are good considering the low budget. There's certainly some work to do with the script, but I hope the director keeps producing this quality of film in the genre. Maybe his next film could be a little longer, as the movie runs only for 47 minutes. What I really liked is the speed of zombies. They're nothing like the zombies in many classic horror films, in which people can just walk to escape the horde. I mean, these zombies are fast as lightning! I know there's the fast vs slow zombie debate and some people may not like it. However, I think that fast zombies really bring about more action-feeling into the movie. At least it works well in Zomblies. Don't miss the scene after the closing credits.
Day of the Dead (1985)
Bub's great
As an avid fan of zombie movies, I had no expectations for the Day of the Dead. It turned out to be an intelligent and enjoyable film. Much of the film is about the tensions between a few survivors that reside in an underground base filled with all kinds of stuff. Many reviewers said that the film suffers from overacting, but I think it's not true. Only the leader of the soldiers is overacting, but on the other hand, it's okay considering his I-am-the-king character who found his small underground kingdom after most of the world's population is dead. Although the film is certainly worse than the other Romero's brilliant action-packed classics, I think the Day of the Dead still is a good 80s zombie horde film.
Battle of Los Angeles (2011)
Definitely agree: One of the worst films ever
The title lured into thinking that this film is Battle: Los Angeles. It took me about five minutes to realize that Battle of Los Angeles is just a crappy "mockbuster", which has a confusingly similar title with the A-class film I thought I'm going to watch. I was first disappointed and angry, but then decided to keep watching. What a terrible mistake! BoLA was unimaginable torture until the end and I'm still not over the shock. I registered to IMDb just to review this film and warn anyone from watching. All the other reviewers are not lying, trust me! Okay, except those who seemingly thought they reviewed B:LA and a few who obviously work for either SyFy or The Asylum. Anyway, BoLA is a perfection of failure: acting, script, characters, special effects, everything... they simply suck. For example, it seems that they bought a Nerf gun from Toys "R" Us, painted it, and alas, there's your advanced alien weapon. What's really sad - or should I say hilarious -is that the director thought a retired sergeant shooting down alien space vessels with a Colt SA .44 six-shooter and a woman - who owes much to Resident Evil's Alice - slicing the flying probes with her Katana look cool. This being said, I actually enjoyed finding the numerous tributes to major sci-fi blockbusters such as Independence Day, Star Wars (EPs 4 and 6), Aliens, MIB, and so on. This film has more rip-off ideas from big-name movies than any other film I have seen.
