      Great Cover Art (Red Flags) First of all, the title is completely misleading, there are NO zombies in this movie. At least not in the Living Dead or Voodoo or even the 28 days variety. The "zombies" are people under mind control who commit acts of suicide and murder after receiving a call on their cell phones. I can relate, I had the same urge to commit hari-kiri while watching this Drag-Fest.
Overall.........lets break-it-down!

Plot: Something about mind control, government agents, drug dealers and undercover cops. Hard to follow, not because it's a complex story, it's just that trying to follow the bad editing, horrible sound, sickening cinematography, really bad acting, just makes it hard to concentrate, Also, it's jumbled and incoherent. (Geez, let me stop) The movie opens with two guys talking in a restaurant. And I couldn't hear a word from either so I quit trying......

Acting: Let's just say that most of the "actors" were just downright horible and often times stared into the camara. (maybe trying to read the q-card?
 

Casting: The drug dealers looked to harmless just way to friendly looking in fact they could pass for johoviahs witnesses, FBI guy is fat, balding and completely out-of-shape his idea of chasing down a perp would be at micky D's. The undercover cops wouldn't crack a case unless it was labled  Budweiser. Oh and did I mention the top government agent? who just stepped out of the 1970's? anyways back to the plot, while on vacation in Panama and about as smart as a cue stick. The government felt secure entrusting him with a Top Secret mind control project? WTF?

Dialogue: I don't have a clue, couldn't hear it. really didn't care, and neither will you.

Sound: Two flavors,  so low you had to turn it up (and still can't hear the words) 2. Scrambling to turn it down when its about to blow out your speakers of course this atlest keeps you up long enough to make-it thru the film.

Lighting: None, nature provides it all (saves on budget). Every time someone opened a door to the outside, its like the Shining, close the door and its the batcave.
Editing: Slowly fade to black. Slowly fade back in. Then Repeat. "Windows Movie Maker" at his best!

Music: Loud rap or heavy rock with very explicit language. And it keeps you bouncing from volume up control to volume down control, but hey you can't beat the Royalty-Free "No-Hit Wonders" CD collection for your soundtrack, plus it saves on your films budget!

Cinematography: Hand held camcorder with all the fuzzie art shots, nice and grainy, and often times out of focus...nothing like high end production! 
Special effects: It's amazing what $3.50 cents can do to save you money and time for your films budget.

Overall? Complete DRAG-FEST
