Zzzzzzz...Zombies!



APOCALYPSE Z-2013-This is an exceptionally bad zombie film originally called "Zombie Massacre" but probably changed when WORLD WAR Z was released. The evil United States needs to destroy a chemical plant they were using illegally anyway in Europe that has produced a horde of ugly zombies. They send a team of merecenaries to plant a bomb. An American G.I. (Christian Boevig), a Scottish soldier of fortune (Mike Mitchell),  a samurai woman (Tara Cardinal) and a sniper (Daniel Vivian) who looks like a homeless man. After killing loads of zombies, the group now down to 3 after the sniper is killed meets Sam (Ivy Corbin)) the daughter of the doctor who created the whole thing, although he was "trying to save lives", it was our evil government that wanted to abuse it. Later a mutant zombie shows up.

Most of the bad Americans have English or European accents and Z's producer Uwe Boll, the hack director of  HOUSE OF THE DEAD and the BLOODRAYNE series plays German accented president of the US! (Maybe the old boy hasn't gotten over his ancestors being whipped by America in WW2....????) This seems influenced by Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD and the low budget nonsense of Andreas Schnaas. And it took two directors to make it!

Once again, thank to my pal Tony for getting me this (I think...lol....)

Thanks for reading!
