 
A youth named Phil
Cardille (Caley Bisson) is being held in
a room by an obnoxious detective named
Jason Ronner (Paul Kratka) for
questioning after a bunch of gory murders
of his brother and other people who had
siblings which were caused by a group of
zombies as Ronner feels that he is
responsioble for all of this madness as
they were all a group of OP Soldiers who
are sent on a mission to find out the
reason for the outbreak that brought back
the walking dead.
The main sergeant named Enrique Hernandez
(Chiko Mendez) locks four of them who are
outcasts up in a platoon to ensure their
safety but one of them was bitten by a
zombie and slowly turns into one and the
rest find a way of getting in.
This was the best
$3,000 no budget horror short I have ever
seen and it can give beginners confidence
at making their own short too and prove
to viewers that it has a solid plot which
it no doubt is.
Very much reminds me of a cross between
the remake of Dawn of the Dead
and Day of the Dead but
in better taste.
This will no doubt be a success at horror
film festivals plus a sequel is in pre
production and can't wait to see it.
The acting is
terrific for a film like this. Paul
Kratka still has it even if he quit
acting after Friday the 13th Part
3D to become a chiropractor but
he is far better in this one as you
wonder if he had years of training as an
actor afterwards. Already he is slowly
getting work in future indie horror
flicks and he can really go places. He
was very believeable and intimidating as
an abusive detective.
Chiko Mendez from TV's
Saturday Night Live does well in
most parts especially his aggression to
stay alive with the others as he plays
the head Sergeant but sometimes needed
more character in other scenes like when
he told the others he had to die cause he
was bitten by a zombie.
All in all I give the acting two thumbs
up.
Ooh yeah lots of
zombie eating their victims, flesh torn
off of corpses faces, intestines you name
it.
The effects were good.
Scott Goldberg
is superb as a director, writer, producer
and editor for this piece.
He has lots of fast paced action in the
flick with the survivors and the zombies
and really focuses his direction well
with Kratka and Bisson
in the room alone together which are the
best scenes. Kratka does well
slapping Bisson around to top it
all off
He has great shots of the outside forest
and the killings too.
He will no doubt have a success in his
future work.
Marinho Nobre is marvelous with
the music in the film and really leaves
an impression in the beginning of the
film and at the end too.
