Hungry for something me ass kicking hungry Zombies. It has been a long time since I have seen a worthy Zombie movie.
Well writer/Director Tony Jopia does a great job with Dawning of the Dead!
This one has a cool approach to the outbreak and is unique with its explanation of the outbreak. This time it is started by a scientist trying to help mankind. But when the bugs go wrong and the epidemic spreads world wide he reveals all to anchorwoman Katya Nevin. Excellently portrayed by Ruth Galliers. But hot on her trail in the building is an assassin stopping at nothing to silence her. So Katya has the assassins and the growing numbers of zombies to fight off!
Katya and her fellow workers are trapped in there News studio and get to see the proportions of the virus through newsfeed and the under siege building.
Katya boyfriend and brother are trying to fight his way though the infested streets with his brother to save her and sees the destruction.
I really love the different approach and even though it's a low budget movie the FX and idea of showing the destruction throughout the news feed Around the world is clever.
Also this is not just a few zombies lumbering around but hordes and these suckers move fast.
The eating scenes are fun and a welcome surprise. This is an all out homage to zombie flicks done rite. They are Updated version of Romero's Zombies.
Katya boyfriend (Kristofer Dwayne)and brother (Fabian Muller)steal the movie and very enjoyable to watch. There zany approach on getting through this and continuous bickering is a welcoming relief from the horrors everyone else is dealing with.
I hope Tony Jopia and crew venture back in the world of the dead blood, guts and fun and a cool story thanks guys. No disappointments here!
