Fantastic Fest 2014
Screening #4:
My first midnight screening of this festival is this Australian Zombie action flick. Man, oh man, this had its promises but it got old after a while. There were a few flaws, especially with the sound in certain scenes. But, who am I to judge? At least people are trying to make movies. Anyways, this movie at least brought something different for the zombie genre. Zombie mind control. There were some cool scenes in the beginning and throughout. Some psychotic moments too. This weird doctor is experimenting with zombies and with our main female lead who has a blood type that's immune to the zombie virus. While being experimented on, she develops a gift: she can control other zombies with her mind. So she uses that as a weapon. Another different thing for the zombie genre is that they are filled with gas and can be used as a fuel source. They move slow during the day and fast during the night. There was one character that made it at least a bit more enjoyable. The black dude was awesome. Good gore scenes too.
Overall, this was okay. Not a good payoff but still had its moments.
