There's
a zombie outbreak. A group of office co-workers, desperate to survive,
are lucky enough to find a video explaining how to deal with a zombie
apocalypse. They learn how to make weapons from standard office supplies,
what to do when zombies congregate at the building's doors, and other
indispensable advice. As it turns out, one of the co-workers is a geek
who has seen more living dead movies than anybody should admit to (and
he lists them to prove his credentials). He obviously proves to be very
valuable, not to mention annoying to everyone else. All this leads to
the foundation for this late-in-the-game zombie movie triumph.
Asian filmmakers have delivered some of the best Zombie thrillers, dating
back to must-see classics like VERSUS,
WILD
ZERO, JUNK,
and (from Hong Kong) the Cat III ZOMBIE
108. Even today, when absolutely EVERYONE
is sick of the genre (thanks mostly to the absurd speeches and inept
posturing of what has become of television's Walking Dead
since all the good directors left the series), some entertaining zombie
films are still coming from the East. I
AM A HERO is a great recent example of this. And now, here is
a refreshing new project - produced by a frustrated anime director and
his crew - that should be seen and appreciated by the cult fans.
A Japanese
film with English subtitles; widescreen format, uncut version (73 min.),
DVD encoded for ALL REGION NTSC, playable on any American machine. Extras
include selected trailers.
