Zombies

Not sure why no one liked this movie. I'll be the first one to throw a cheap knock off under the bus but I really thought this was made well, flowed well.

Martial artist Luke (a solid and likeable performance by Steven Luke) joins forces with Detective Simmons (a lively portrayal by Tony Todd) and other survivors to find and protect people from an outbreak of lethal zombies. Writer/director Hamid Torabpour relates the familiar, but still enjoyable story at a brisk pace, delivers plenty of gory carnage, maintains a grimly serious take-no-prisoners tone throughout, further spices things up with a refreshing sense of self-mocking humor, and pulls off a startling bleak twist at the end. The sound acting by the capable cast helps a lot: Raina Hein as the feisty Bena, Amanda Day as the sullen Tala, Marcus Dee as Luke's infected buddy Dave, Heide Fellner as the unhinged and vengeful Haley, and Todd Vince as Bena's gung-ho redneck dad. So while this film doesn't break any new ground in the zombie horror genre, it nonetheless still hits all the essential bases in an efficient manner and therefor is worth a watch for zombie horror fans.

This should have been a very big budget movie... The source material demands it. In Dead Pulse there are a lot of set pieces. This film sadly does not have that scale. That being said the film is undeserving of such a low score over all as it is a brave attempt to at least get itto the screen.
