Oh, and in a vain attempt to avoid the dozens of obligatory thumbs downs I'm bound to get JUST because I was the first to comment, I'll have you know that I watched this on his website where it was uploaded like 6 hours ago and found that it was uploaded here through the RSS feed.
*Vegeta voice* "Is that OK?"

Baguette Crooissant?
Baguette Croissant!
I just love how badly edited this movie is. the pacing is terrible. it tries so hard to be like Dawn of the Dead meets Haute tension that it doesn't work with the characters in this movie.
Who the hell thought that asshole French gangsters from a lost Luc Besson film would be good for a zombie flick?
Anyways, Happy Chinese New Year to Phelous & Everyone at TGWTG!

Yes, nothing unites the international community like a bad film. I do enjoy crossover events.
Thoughts:
- Welshy's performance was, shall we say, not very lively.
- Seriously, zombies can block peripheral vision. This happens in a lot of zombie flicks.
- You know, there should be a law against zombie movies that don't acknowledge the fact that "you have to shoot them in the head" right from the beginning. Zombies are part of our cultural heritage now - everyone knows to SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD. Screenwriters of the future, learn from our past.
- I actually had this on my Netflix queue. I've now taken it off. Thanks, guys, you just saved me time and money.
Great review.

I actualy enjoyed this movie enough to buy it. Still, you're right on MOST points: the cops are idiots and the female lead is an unlikable bitch who shoulda had her baby ripped from her womb by the zombies. Or the other characters. You forgot to point how they're accelerating the footage during the fight scenes to... look asstarded. About the zombie rape: they(the characters, though the directors might not have been clean) were on fucking cocaine!
Croisanthole? Genius!

What went wrong with this movie? It seemed like it had MUCH potential in the beginning when they were raiding the building. That whole sequence was just truly gritty and realistic. I loved the fact that the criminals were CONVINCINGLY heartless and hardcore. Unfortunately, it's when the zombies show up is when the movie is now a sub-par zombie flick. The fact that the once-cold-as-ice criminals and law enforcement agents team up, everyone's character is ruined. All of the characters in here are marred with idiocy.
And is just me or did it seem like it took everybody for most or all of the movie to realize that you shoot the zombies in the head to kill them?

Ugh... How did they fuck this up so bad?! I remember seeing the trailer for this back in like, 2009? and thinking "Holy shit this is going to be a great zombie movie! 8D" and for the longest time I couldn't remember its name.
Thanks to you guys I not only remember it, but learn that it sucks.... It still looks like it'd be better than Children Of The Living Dead.

Great review, and it's awesome to see Chaos D1 in something that shows off his comedic talent! Though the highlight of this entire review is when they scream at Welshy. Even if I have no idea why they screamed ^-^; The look on Chaos's face is priceless!

02.03.2011 - 05:19 | TrencherThe reason this movie was so horribly written was that they tried way to hard too make the drug boss an heroic and sympathetic, I believe that the movie was originally supposed to have him be more of a villain, but they changed it during filming. It sure looks that way to me although its just a theory. Anyway I think it would have been a better movie if they had stayed away from the cliches.

02.03.2011 - 05:31 | ThatGuyWithTheSaxophoneWe need more Baguette Croissant!... er, I mean, cameos, because those were awesome! :)
Yeah, screenwriters, do the logical thing and let the LEAST LIKABLE AND MOST DESPICABLE BITCH LIVE IN THE END!!!!!
I hate it, when this happens...
Btw., your screams, when Welshy suddenly said something in the shower were amazing ;-)
Also, hooray for Police Squad ending xD
-
this review was awesome! never heard of this one, even if i live in switzerland (the french part), where we got all the french movie, and there's a lot of good one, fortunately, unlike this garbage "legion of evil" (genius translation!)
superbe performance mes cher phelous, sad panda, welshy et chaosD1, vous m'évitez ainsi une monstrueuse perte de temps! (great performance, thanks to you i'll avoid a monstrous waste of time!)

The movie has some nice gore and a cool bitch- chick vs zombie-chick fight but the plot and script were just so full of holes you wouldn't really want to watch it again.Classics like Day and Dawn of the Dead ARE re-watchable because you have some emotional interest in the characters.They are likable for a start,which is the opposite of this movie.

There's nothing that pisses me off more in films than bad characters. And this movie is(along with most horror movies nowadays, sadly) is just full of painfully dumb and irritating people with no real personality other than "Jerk" or "Dullard".
And HOLY SHIT THAT CHICK WAS A BITCH WTF. Like, seriously, WTF. Wanna bet that the writers just threw in the bullshit about the pregnancy-dealie halfway through filming just so she could at least some cheap easy sympathy despite her magnanimous bitchitude? Seems awfully plausible!
Also, when Welshy woke up and you guys started screaming, I lol'ed so hard that I cracked three ribs.
AND FURTHER MORE... CROISSANT BAGGETTE... PÂTTISERIE!

Let's see...we have the D1. We have a drunk Welshman. We have Panda. We have a wild Phelous. Put those together and you get a really funny video. Everyone did a great job! I really like ChaosD1's deadpan humor and snarkiness. Guy's awesome like that.
As for Welshy, Panda and Phelous, you guys rock, too. Great vid guys!
