Well, duh. Obviously it's a thumbs down. I didn't expect anything other than that. Is it true that the guy who penned this monster also penned 'Alone in the Dark,' because the first scene has this guy saying that. "Alone in the Dark." I thought that was humorous.

The zombies were pitiful, the effects were awful and most of the acting was crap. But I was watching this while reading my Entertainment Weekly, so I may have missed all the good parts. I only watched this because Vicky Pratt, one of the stars of my long-lost favorite TV show, played a zombie-killer. And in that respect, she was good. But she was the only one. Technically, this "film" is about a deep-undercover government team sent, with military backup, to a university campus where "hypersapiens" have run loose for a month. There's a bit about the virus being contracted by mosquito bites, there's a part about the hypersapien college students following the same patterns that they did when they were alive (going to the library and class??). Anyway, it's crap. I don't even have that high of an opinion of what others would call good zombie movies, but I know that this was horrible. And it's edited for TV. Sorry, Vicky Pratt, I tried to like it.

2/5 because of Pratt.

Yeah I was watching it last night and I have to say I thought it was a decent movie, but hey, you're looking at a guy who loves anything with zombies in it, so that has to be an exception.

But I have to agree, it wans't the best zombie movie out there, but it wasn't the worst movie either. There were some parts I enjoyed, like when they were in the library, after they killed that nerdy zombie, the librarian zombie came in, shushing them with blood pouring from her mouth, and that actually got a chuckle out of me. The effects were that bad like when that black officer guy walked into that room where that lady in white walked into. When she turned around, her lips were gone and I must say that actually looked real, though they basically copied Resident Evil Apocalypse, except without the zombie children.

Though I didn't stay for the ending because I wanted to go outside, I still liked some of it.

I give it a 3 1/2 stars out of 5 because of zombies. :-)

Say what you guys want but I think that director Michael Hurst has some potential to be a decent filmmaker.  He was given a terrible script and a sequel of a Uwe Boll film and still followed through.  Remember this was on cable television at a crap time so a lot of the film was heavily edited.  The unrated version offers a lot more nudity, violence, gore, etc...  

The one thing that I got from this movie from watching it was that is was a credible low budget horror film.  If Hurst would have been given the first film with the budget and advertising it was given, I think it would have been a much better movie.  

Watch out for this guy Michael Hurst, I see some bright stuff for him in his future.  

I saw the first one the other day.  It's probably on my list for the worst movies of all time.

Same here...to me, these are just two more movies that shouldn't have been made...they should have taken the money and put it towawrds something else.

Like writing lessons, acting lessons and directing lessons.

it was a lot better than the first one, but still cheap... Anybody see the fake lighting going through the zombies bodies.  :'(

I was just about to mention the electricity toward the end --- SO fake, I could've made that with the kiddie-camcorder software I got when I was 12. It wasn't as bad as the first one and I'm not saying the director, Hurst not Uwe Boll, should think of becoming a traveling salesman. But this movie was bad.

It's a Sci-Fi movie isn't it??

Quoted from FilmMaker06 ...they should have taken the money and put it towawrds something else.

You might as well burn it.

Quoted from TC Taylor It's a Sci-Fi movie isn't it??

It was supposed to be a theater-release, but the theater distribution deal was pulled and it was sold to the SciFi channel

hell no... theater-release??? WTF is wrong with LGF?

I don't even think any theater in the world would take up an entire screening room for this...they would send the film back to the studio!

Uh.. that's why the deal was pulled and it was sold or maybe given to the SciFi Channel.
