The
year is 2020. Ten Convicts, derelicts, and other social miscreants
have been put on an island in place of a jail term. They have
been placed into five teams and their only task is to survive
and get off the island in three days. The winner will get a pardon
for their crimes as well as a cash prize of $50 million. The catch
is that the island is swarming with zombies.
That's
the only good thing about the movie. The synopsis itself is at
least interesting, but everything else is terrible. To start,
the island in the movie is called Isla de Romero so
the director is obviously familiar with the Dead Movie Saga. This
may seem like a good sign, but the zombies are fast and look like
people running around with bad makeup on. They can also be killed
by means outside of a head shot. There's one zombie who gets killed
from getting its throat slashed.
The
zombies, it turns out, were made from a governmental experiment
that was trying to create a bunch of Super Soldiers.
The
action wasn't too bad I suppose, but because the movie is set
as a game show similar to Running Man, every fighting movie generates
points which flash on the screen as the move is connected. This
became annoying after the first three times.
The
writing was pretty standard for this type of movie sub
par. Fortunately there weren't any catchy one-liners
that were put in. This movie actually takes itself seriously.
It's a shame really.
The
effects were bad. Whenever the blood poured or sprayed it looked
incredibly fake. As I stated above, the zombies looked like people
with bad makeup on. I think my favorite bad effect was using a
green lens filter as infra red. Whoever made this
movie obviously doesn't know that blood doesn't show up as red
on an infra red picture.
I
saved the acting for last because most of it was bad. For instance,
there's one guy who gets the shit kicked out of him in the beginning.
When he comes to hes limping pretty badly. He then proceeds to
run, fight, jump, and break large branches off of a tree with
his injured leg. Inconsistency like that makes me
sick.
If
you like zombie movies, or movies in general, stay as far away
from this one as you can. Nothing good came out of this movie.
