“First of all, I must say that I had initially some expectations to this movie, as it seemed appealing from the synopsis, and also because there has been a couple of good additions to the zombie genre from the Kiwis and Aussies. And also when the movie had u0026quot;A Kiwi Shaun of the Deadu0026quot; brandished on the DVD cover, ought to count for something.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, once the movie ended, I was left with a somewhat bland taste in my mouth. Why? Well, because the movie wasnu0026#39;t as good as I had expected, nor was it as funny as u0026quot;Shaun of the Deadu0026quot;. Sure, there were some great moments throughout the course of u0026quot;I Survived a Zombie Holocaustu0026quot;, but the overall result was just mediocre. There were a few laughs here and there, but not enough to sustain the entire movie. And with hand on heart, then I actually dozed off two or three times throughout the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs I mentioned, then there were some good moments here and there throughout the movie. And my personal favorite was when the special effects/props guy picked up arms and went ballistic on the approaching zombies. That scene had be in laughs.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe special effects in u0026quot;I Survived a Zombie Holocaustu0026quot; were adequate, although the zombies werenu0026#39;t among the best of zombie special effects and make-up to be seen in the zombie genre. There were some good enough effects here and there, but nothing outstanding.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs for the acting, well, people were doing good enough jobs with their given roles and characters. And Harley Neville did carry the movie quite well with his performance.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe characters in the movie were colorful and well-detailed, and they did add a good amount of contents to the movie as a whole.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, then u0026quot;I Survived a Zombie Holocaustu0026quot; just failed to stand out in a mostly generic genre, which was a shame, because it did have potential for something bigger. As such, then I am rating the movie a mediocre five out of ten stars.”
