UNDEAD

What You Need To Know:

UNDEAD is a low-budget zombie movie from Australia. It opens with chunks of a large meteor streaming across the sky of the Australian town of Berkeley. Some of the chunks hit a couple people, who promptly become cannibalistic zombies. Several people, including the local beauty queen, two frantic cops, a man, and his pregnant wife, find themselves trapped in a fisherman’s house. Marion the fisherman has a gun store and uses his stockpile of weapons to dispatch zombies, but the senior cop is a gun control freak because of Australia’s ridiculous new gun laws. He keeps foolishly ordering Marion to surrender his guns. Marion believes the zombies are part of an invasion engineered by an alien ship he encountered. As the group tries to avoid getting killed by the zombies, the aliens reveal their true purpose.

UNDEAD is very low budget. Some of the low budget photography works well, but it is also often annoying. The storytelling contains some comical, intriguing twists. For example, in a flashback scene, Marion has a hilarious encounter with a zombie fish. Ultimately, however, the gore, violence and frequent “f” words become as annoying as the low-budget photography.
