You know, it's almost no surprise that I come here after writing a review about the recent 'THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN', and that piece of $hit gets like a 5.8 rating, and this film which I felt was LIGHT YEARS more entertaining and technically much better made and the acting was EXPONENTIALLY better, and it has a frigg'n rating of 4.1. WTF...???
I honestly found this movie to be very atmospheric, beautiful to look at, and for a low-budget Horror film, surprisingly well put together and directed. I was even more impressed by the acting, which although not Oscar material, I think for a film like this the director REALLY was quite adept at bringing out the very best from his actors.
Sure, true Zombie lovers and aficionados would most likely find this movie VERY lame, slow, and uneventful, with VERY little gore or 'Zombie-like' visuals. This is definitely ***NOT*** your usual Zombie-Gore fest. BUT... not really being a real Zombie fan myself, I found the mood, look, and technical aspects of the film to be quite good and entertaining. I REALLY liked the Mystery aspect of it, like when it showed you glimpses of these odd-looking, mechanical amulets, which made you wonder what they were for and what they had to do with the story. And, I really dug the place they find, with it's cool retro-automated mechanical effects. And, there IS a lot of War Action that I thought was done pretty well.
All and all a VERY simple story with not a hell of a lot to it, but I genuinely feel that it was really well done and most entertaining. A LOT more than what all these dismissive Dickweed Numbnuts here are saying ...
