This is a b-movie, featuring martial arts and strong zombies. Some of the acting is good, some of it pretty bad but that makes it more fun. All of the effects are practical, no CGI or After Effects here! The production side is excellent, the direction, make-up, costumes, camerawork and sound (for a low-budget b-movie anyway) all very good. So, whilst it is a fun movie to watch, especially if you are into martial arts (quite why the drug dealers at the start didn't have guns makes no sense to me but whatever) but there are two issues holding it back from must-watch status. They are both creative problems in my opinion. The writing is old-fashioned. This could easily have been written in the nineties, the pace is slow and the structure massively dated. The other issue is that the tone is far too serious. Right at the start the lead heroine lets of a volley of like 2 gut punches in 2 seconds but it's treated as a serious move! The lead hero has the occasional joke but it felt like he stuck these in without permission and the editor left them in praying for some levity! If you can ignore the issues then this is entertaining.
