The year is 2020. Ten Convicts, derelicts, and other social miscreants have been put on an island in place of a jail term. They have been placed into five teams and their only task is to survive and get off the island in three days. The winner will get a pardon for their crimes as well as a cash prize of $50 million. The catch is that the island is swarming with zombies.
That’s the only good thing about the movie. The synopsis itself is at least interesting, but everything else is terrible. To start, the island in the movie is called “Isla de Romero” so the director is obviously familiar with the Dead Movie Saga. This may seem like a good sign, but the zombies are fast and look like people running around with bad makeup on. They can also be killed by means outside of a head shot. There’s one zombie who gets killed from getting its throat slashed.
The zombies, it turns out, were made from a governmental experiment that was trying to create a bunch of “Super Soldiers.”
The action wasn’t too bad I suppose, but because the movie is set as a game show similar to Running Man, every fighting movie generates points which flash on the screen as the move is connected. This became annoying after the first three times.
The writing was pretty standard for this type of movie sub par. Fortunately there weren’t any “catchy one liners” that were put in. This movie actually takes itself seriously. It’s a shame really.
The effects were bad. Whenever the blood poured or sprayed it looked incredibly fake. As I stated above, the zombies looked like people with bad makeup on. I think my favorite bad effect was using a green lens filter as “infra red.” Whoever made this movie obviously doesn’t know that blood doesn’t show up as red on an infra red picture.
I saved the acting for last because most of it was bad. For instance, there’s one guy who gets the shit kicked out of him in the beginning. When he comes to hes limping pretty badly. He then proceeds to run, fight, jump, and break large branches off of a tree with his “injured leg.” Inconsistency like that makes me sick.
If you like zombie movies, or movies in general, stay as far away from this one as you can. Nothing good came out of this movie.
