Summary: Lame
Review: The previews for this movie made it look good, so I rented it. Unfortunately, it was horrible. My friends and I turned it off after only about the first thirty minutes. Everything about it was awful.

The snippets that replaced the action in the movie was a lame mistake. What's the point in making a horror film if the audience doesn't even get to see the action? I thought that was what made a horror movie scary.

I've seen Halloween costumes that looked far better than the costumes and makeup in this movie. The actors could not act. Besides that, there were about three scenes with topless girls just in the first 15 minutes. It was plain ridiculous.

Spend your money on something better. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. If it was possible to give it 0 stars, then I would.

Summary: Stay Away from this Waste of an Hour and a Half!
Review: Hello, I am writing this review to warn people of this ... . I really loved the video games, but from these video games, spawned the worst piece of ... ever. The acting in this movie was so bad, I laughed most of the time. Clint Howard's terrible performance made me think that he was Mentally Retarded. I liked Jonathan Cherry in Final Destination 2, but he made up for it in this movie. The best part to the movie besides the NUDITY (which there isn't much of) was when that stupid PUNK was tipped in the PORTO-POTTY. The special effects in the movie were BADONG (thats not good). Rotating cameras just dont cut it. The main fight was way too ... long and boring. All they did was kill endless hordes of zombies which looked bland. By the way, besides the main evil professor guy who looks homosexual, the only monsters are zombies. Anyway, back to the main fight. Only one person dies in this fight(the special forces ...). You do get to see some KUNG FU.......but guess what?......It ... . The last battle with the evil professor was also a load of FUN........TO LAUGH AT! These people just whipped out a couple of swords and started fightin. This movie is Completely stupid from beginning to end, with bad acting, stupid characters and a script written by a ... . If i could give this movie lower than one star, I would. BYE

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: A 1 star is being generous
Review: I Pay-Per-Viewed this movie on Cable and let me say that it I turned it off after 15 minutes! I've seen so many movies, some great, some really bad. I can't remember the last time I actually turned a movie off. I really hope that the people involved in the story, directing, producing and even acting get wind of some of these reviews because it's terrible. I've seen Jurgen Proschnow (I hope I spelled his name correctly) in other movies in which his acting was superb. Like "The Keep" and others. He was so out of place here. I don't blame him for the terrible character, it was the writers. Some of the lines and the way they were delivered was so lame it's embarrassing. This movie pandered to the teeny-boppers. First of all, a RAVE, topless girls, sex, drugs, drinking, foul mouths, can only mean teenager-movie. What a waste of money.
I don't understand why they used techno music throughout the movie. The music composer of this filled was horrible.
Also, why did they cut scenes from the game in with the movie?
So many inconsistencies. Like it's raining on the boat as the captain is smoking a cigarette, then they cut to a shot in the water looking at the same boat and it's not raining? What the...?
I heard that Rob Zombie was involved in this movie and also in "House of a 1000 corpses". This was supposed to be a big sell for the movie. Well, I don't know who this Rob character is but, he should stay away from making movies.
I hope you all read this review and others and stay away from it. If you have cable, wait 'til it comes out on one of the channels. Then you can watch it. Don't rent, or Pay-Per-View this movie. If so, look in the mirror and say this word: SUCKER!

Summary: was this a zombie movie or a video game ad?
Review: I would have rather watched my friends play the video game than have watched this movie. Everything in this movie, I really have a hard time calling it a movie, was weak and laughable. The ONLY part of this DVD worth watching is the "zombie combat training" or whatever it was called, because you get to the stupid girls from the movie get shot with paintballs. This is an abomination to the zombie genre.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: words cannot express this movie throughly
Review: the words i would like to use i cannot because it would be too vulgar to let this review be posted on this site. so the ones i have to use dont even come close to expressing this movie and its total stupid plot and crappy cast, acting, ect...i stopped watching it after the 1st 45 minutes! I wanted to pluck my eyes out and bash my head against the neartest wall! this is one that can be passed over by ANYONE! not even scary in the least! This was a waste of my 3 dollars anda waste of the millions it took to make it! in 2 words...it sucked!!!
pass it up! even cabin fever is better than this!!!!!

Summary: Disgrace to all true horror movie fans!!!
Review: Anybody who gives this more than 3 stars doesn't know anything about horror movies, and are probably just very young people who are amazed at seeing gore for the first time. Where to start? This has to be the most flawed movie I have ever seen, and as a huge fan of zombie movies it gets me mad to see people comparing this to the works of Lucio Fulci and George Romero. How stupid can they get? It begins with a bunch of young friends going together to a party, that's held on an island, called Isle Del Morte, or something along those lines. Anyways they don't explain how the zombies were created, you may think they do when Kirk (the captain) tells them about the Spanish, but he actually doesn't say much. I am not going to go deep into the story because there isn't really a story, most of the movie is spent shooting zombies. Here are a list of amazingly wrong things in this movie:
- The acting was horrible by most of the people in this film, a girl gets thrown up on and it looks like she is laughing.
- When Kirk lights up a cig on his boat it is raining, but when the camera goes to the people on the island there is no rain. Amazing isn't it?
- The first zombies encountered look like mole people.
- The short video game sequences shown every 10 minutes is not only annoying but so out of place and stupid.
- Most of the humans deaths are off screen and not shown to the viewer.
- The zombies can move fast, which they sure as hell shouldn't be doing, they can whistle, and get this, they can spit acid and jump in huge leaps!!!
- One idiot in the film uses his camcorder even though his life is in danger.
- When Kirk was telling the story about the Spaniards they spoke English, I wonder how if the zombie that was killed on the ship didn't know English when it met with a human?
- The police woman tells Greg to come with her to hunt down zombies, but when they appear she tells him to run away.
- Extremely cheesy closeups of the zombies and Greg when they are chasing him.
- Kirk brought a box full of automatic weapons, as if he knew what he was headed for. If he did why did he go on the island in the first place?
- Everyone that is given a gun knows how to fire it perfectly and aim dead on even though they obviously didn't use guns before. Not only can they do that, but they know KARATE!!!
- If the ship was in the water and they were armed with tons of weapons why didn't they try to make it to the ship?
- Most of the zombies are not shot in the head, but they still die, how can you break the biggest rule of zombies???
- The Matrix style camera angles are so annoying because they are used way too often in this movie, they literally do it every minute or so!!!!! How many times do we have to see the same thing???
- One of the dumbest things in the movie, is during the huge fight scene, the zombies walk around, and even walk past the humans without looking at them or even touching them, they wait till the humans are done shooting up other zombies then they move towards them!! How unrealistic is that?
- The techno music is annoying and does not fit in with this movie, it destroys the little ammount of atmosphere that the movie had.
- The zombies move very fast during some parts and very slow during others.
- The director uses lame ways to show breasts in this movie.
- This movie has no suspense at all.
- The captain was bitten by a zombie but didn't turn into one!
- When one of the guys shoots a zombie attacking the female police officer, the bullet does not go through the head of the zombie, but in other scenes bullets would go through numerous zombies, what gives?
- The female police officer dies immediately after having both leggs chopped off a little bit above the knees, but there are no vital organs in your legs, you would die from loss off blood, but definately not that fast.
- There's a corpse in the room but these people still have time to makeout?
This movie was horrible, I wasted alot of my time watching it, don't take the good reviews seriously, they obviously don't know what a good horror movie is, the onlything I liked about this film was some of the zombies, and some of the gore scenes, you won't find anything else. Anybody can make a film about just killing monsters the whole time, horror these days is getting more uncreative everytime around. Not the best video game movie, probably one of the worst movies ever made.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's not quite THAT bad!...
Review: When I heard that Rob Zombie was going to be a producer/director, I knew two things...
1. It would be REALLY psycadellic and twisted, and
2. I had to see it to find out.
There have been several bad reviews due to the "cut scenes" of the game that appear intermittantly. This is not the director's fault. The reason was: the rating. If you can remember, this movies's release date was pushed back about 28 times; to achieve an R rating. Origionally, the movie was all live action, but was also NC-17. This was due to excessive gore... so instead of using any less, all action scenes are, unfortunately, the video game. The zombies were also origionally created by Rob Zombie. Of course, these were too graphic for an R rating. Instead, life-sized digitalizatons of the game's zombies were rendered into the film.
The NC-17 version is expected to be released on special edition DVD later, and is (I would think) well worth waiting for.
