Zombies! Überlebe die Untoten: Directed by Hamid Torabpour. With Tony Todd, Steven Luke, Raina Hein, Amanda Day. Forced outside the city limits, they make their final stand in a small farmhouse. Paying tribute to Night of the Living Dead, our heroes fight to stay alive against an army of flesh-eating monsters.

“A survivor of a virus outbreak goes about finding more uninfected people to come to his sanctuary. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDirector/writer Hamid Torabpour offers a competent low budget offering, with plenty of kills, CGI blood, hacking and shooting as survivors take down the zombie-like virus infected hordes. Itu0026#39;s played straight, the music, lighting, make up and locations add up to a solid enough production. While it bogs itself down and runs out of steam in the latter half Torabpour still puts in a nice little nihilistic twist in the closing. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s not a found footage type film like Zombie Diaries or Diary of the Dead. Zombies is an average low budget flick but sadly lost in the sea of substandard DTV zombie film hell. Produced by Cameron Romero (son of the late George A. Romero) it doesnu0026#39;t reach the heights of his fatheru0026#39;s work or the likes of The Dead or The Battery but thankfully this digital presentation has an almost film like feel appose to the abundance of bland camera work on VOD and SyFy that lack atmosphere.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVeteran horror actor Tony Todd bookends with a welcomed extended cameo as Detective Sommers. Lead Steven Lukeu0026#39;s Luke plays the subtler scenes well rather than the action segments. Notable is Amanda Day as Tala but most memorable is Raina Heinu0026#39;s Bena. Despite sporting a zombie cliché killing weapon of choice bow Hein makes the most with whatu0026#39;s sheu0026#39;s given and offers much of the emotional clout. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, looks good for the budget, donu0026#39;t expect a classic and you may enjoy.”
