“For some reason this movie ended up with the title u0026quot;Zombies: An Undead Road Movieu0026quot;, which was the title of the DVD that I purchased. But of course, anything even remotely zombie does catch my attention.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWithout any knowledge of the movie, its story or cast, then I sat down to watch u0026quot;April Apocalypseu0026quot;. But I have to say that I wasnu0026#39;t overly impressed with the movie as a whole. Now, donu0026#39;t get me wrong, as I am not saying that it is a bad movie. It is just a very generic movie which offers absolutely nothing new to the zombie genre.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe two main acting talents Reece Thompson (playing Artie) and Rebekah Brandes (playing April) were doing good enough jobs carrying the movie, although they had very little material to work with at the hands of director Jarret Tarnol.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt was, however, William Morgan Sheppard (playing Pops) who made it worthwhile to sit down and watch the movie, despite of him not having a particularly big role.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe effects in the movie were good enough, just donu0026#39;t expect an abundance of blood and gore, even though this is a zombie movie. This is more of a teenage movie infused with a zombie element, so I was somewhat out of the target audience.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStorywise, then it was basic and simplistic. A teenager setting out to reach his high school love amidst a zombie infested America. Right, fairly straight forward and simple storyline. But for a zombie outbreak, then Artie encounters surprisingly few zombies along the way.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;April Apocalypseu0026quot; is nothing extraordinary, and as an avid zombie aficionado, then I must say that this movie came and went without leaving a dent or impression.”
