Zombie Warz: Falls The Shadow

If you are looking for a zombie killing action flick....this is not it.
Zombie Warz "Falls the Shadow"
Zombie Warz ??? Really? Shouldn't there be lots of zombies in a zombie war movie?

The "Z" in the title is a cheap attempt to associate this movie to the recent, more successful, World War Z .

There were very few "zombies" in the whole movie. Mostly evil nazi's. Lots of so-so actors.

The only "war" is between the radical nazi group, led by a whacko preacher (that hates anyone who is not white), and pretty much everyone else (including the occasional zombie that wanders by)

The few zombies in this movie were more intelligent and calculating than most of the non-zombies....lol The zombies think, run really fast and can sniff out humans.

If you are looking for a zombie killing action flick (like the title tries to imply)....this is certainly NOT it.

I think there were far more "black hating nazis" killed in one Rambo style battle, than there were zombies in this whole "war" movie...

WTF
The aesthetic and narrative standards for zombie films are historically, to say the least, notoriously low. In fact, the genre thrives on zombie films which seem to _deliberately_ aim low, which seem to please viewers all the more. Further, to say that one is 'disappointed' with a zombie film would raise serious questions about the speaker's understanding of the parameters of the genre: how can one be 'disappointed' with a genre which has no aesthetic standards, and whose primary actors simply slump around covered with red paint, panting and growling? Yet, fantastic as it may seem, this film manages to disappoint. In the history of zombie films, 'Zombie Warz' is the Waterloo, the Battle of Wounded Knee, the Gettysburg: it is the historical point where the genre dips onto the zone of complete cultural irrelevance, and becomes offensive, not to good taste, but to bad. The makers of this film owe a wholehearted apology to Western culture. To say anything more about the film would...

THEY KILLED MY MOMMA
Three years after "the war" America is destroyed and there are zombies running around. These are not traditional head shot zombies, but are simply cannibalistic infected people. A group of xenophobic "red necks" lead by Josiah (Phil Perry) want to cleanse America and start breeding their own kind. They kidnap Cora (Annie Thurman) for the cause. Her father Mike (David Eby) and grandfather Frank (Ron Berryessa) seek the group out so they can rescue her. There is also a nice guy walking around named Noah (Luke Hatmaker) who adds a gf (Olivia Bishop) and there is a kid who has been bit that should figure into the main plot, but doesn't.

This film was originally released in 2011 under the title "Falls the Shadow." With the release of World War Z, they apparently added the "Zombie Warz" as a way to capitalize on the success of the blockbuster.

The film didn't have a lot of zombies and lacked special effects. It was shot on a budget. Writer/director Steven Berryessa...
