A group of college
students travel to an island coast of
Florida for a techno Sega game party
competition.
However many strange people in charge of
the boat going there warns them about the
dangers there.
When they arrive they are being attacked
by intelligent zombies on the ground and
in the water so their game begins to see
who will survive on that island.
Many viewers and
critics have bombed this film but it's
not that terrible. Sure it isn't that
great.
I found this kinda like a tribute to George
A Romeros' Living Dead
flicks but the zombies are more
intelligent.
This film was of course based on the
popular Sega video game by the same name
and it seems to pull well together.
The acting at
first seems quite corny with the cheesy
dialogue with people like Ron
Howard's brother Clint.
However, it does pick up in the middle of
the run.
I enjoyed Enuka Okuma
performance as she always does well with
her work ever since I saw her in the
Vancouver TV shows Northwood and
Madison. I also met her
when I did my first stage show (Yes I too
am an actor).
I also enjoyed David Palffy's
work as the head zombie leader as he
gives alot to the film.
A woman takes off her top
to go skinny dipping in the ocean wearing
nothing but her tight underwear.
There's another topless woman in a blue
skirt in the boat going to the island
where the zombies live.
A zombies hand plunges
through a guy's chest.
Many zombies die in gruesome ways having
their heads blown off
Arms and legs cut off and blood splurting
out.
A woman officer is cut in half.
There are body parts in a lab on the
island.
The head zombie is decapitated and then
his head is stepped on with his brains
splattering out.
Gorehounds may enjoy all of this.
Uwe Boll seems
to be in the middle with his directing.
Sometimes it lacks and sometimes it
doesn't.
Like when the college students are
travelling to the island his direction
seems to go nowhere but them when they
are on the chase from zombies his
direction really picks up.
He had great shots with the zombies
chasing them and made the fighting scenes
look like the video game which is
creative too.
He was a producer and director with
Taunus Film-Produktions GmbH which is an
indie film company.
The music was composed by
Reinhard Besser and Oliver Leib which
is none other than techno music which I
hate with a passion but it suits the film
since video games you see today have
techno music in it.
We also have an interesting
soundtrack by artists like Codetrasher,
Rey Thomas, Black Tiger, Okio and The
Horror Boogies which was played all
through the film as well.
Greg:
[pointing on a zombie in the water] Shoot
it!
Capt. Victor Kirk: What do you think I am
trying to do, you fucking moron?
Salish: No cap'n, we must
not go there! It's eeeeevil!
Simon: We got to the boat
but it wasn't there.
Greg: This book, it's
pretty old. Maybe it'll help us.
[after being attacked by
Castillo]
Alicia: Isn't it nice to know someone
wants you for you body?
Rudy: Yeah. Depending on what they want.
Alicia: You did all this to
become immortal. Why?
Castillo: To live forever!
