Review:

The film opens with some very bad hand held footage of Duke (Simon Burbage) and Katherine June (Joanne Gale) filming a documentary on the MEDEA group performing mutated virus testing on human subjects, where the subjects have gone missing. After some bad scenes of Kate messing with her hair and out of focus filming of the gate, the film changes into a plot and subplot. One story continues on from this point while the other half is Kate looking for Duke, minus the hand held footage, but the same jerky shooting. Kate meets a man (David Anderson) who helps her find Duke, a man she doesn't trust but has to. We don't find out how they got separated until 53 minutes into the film when we shortly return to one plot line.

This is NOT a zombie film, it is an infection film and not a very good one at that. The film was boring. Dialogue was boring. Editing and filming were bad. They managed not to screw up the sound, but used a deplorable sound track. I film better with my $200 dollar camera. There is no need to make the filming this bad to attempt realism. Tripods are actually cheap, lightweight and can fold up into a small bag.

Horror consists of a few people with blood on their face and a person getting blown up off screen. There appears to be a poorly developed twist at the end.

If you really want to watch a funny zombie indie film, try "Night of the Living Deb" instead.
