Apocalypse of the Dead (2009)

Apocalypse of the Dead (aka Zone of the Dead - 2009)
Dir: Milan Konjevic, Milan Todorovic
Starring: Ken Foree, Kristina Klebe, Emilio Roso
102
Serbia

Synopsis: a mysterious gas accidentally leaks out as it is being transported by train. Thus, begins the Apocalypse of the Dead.

My Review: This movie was filmed on a camcorder the same way Paranormal Entity and Blair Witch were. That wasn't bad. In fact, the zombie makeup was quite exceptional for a low budget flick. It was strange because some zombies were fast-moving. Other zombies were slow-moving. Still, that wasn't my main gripe. The movie got a lot of flack for the poor acting. But I didn't mind. My main gripe was the camera-shaking. The camera shaking was excessive to the point of nausea. Camera-shaking seriously needs to be outlawed. Someone needs to stand up and say, "No more camera-shaking." Perhaps if movie theater owners or DVD store salesman said, "We will not sell a movie that has camera-shaking," these idiots would stop with this crap. The movie would have been much more enjoyable. It's basically b-movie material. But it has entertaining stuff like the heroes fighting zombies with swords and grenade launchers.

My rating: 1 star. It's on youtube in either the name Zone of the Dead or Apocalypse of the Dead.
