Zombies Have Fallen (2017)

Good concept, poorly executed.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The whole summary of this movie is misleading. The only thing they got right in the summary is that this woman, Kyra, has some sort of supposed powers. We never really get to see any of these alleged, end of the world flashes, which was disappointing. They took a strong but often used plot and totally misused it. By the time I found that I had been misled I was already invested and hoped that the world would end, but I was let down on that one as well.

This British north east made zombie film was made on an estimated budget of £500! If this is true then it's very impressive, but that is the only thing that is.A mercenary gets brought out of retirement to protect a girl who displays psychic powers from an unscrupulous shady organisation. They go on the run with your generic black wearing henchmen at every turn.Oh, and there are zombies for some never even remotely explained reason.The acting is amateurish, the effects are dreadful and the movie simply isn't exactly very engaging.From the cover art I expected something more, and by something more I mean anything.....something! This right here is a mess and a further example of why I tend to dislike UK cinema.The Good: Cover art is interesting The Bad: Some really bad actingZombies are dreadful Doesn't explain much Things I Learnt From This Movie: The cover art is better than the movie People with psychic powers can turn folk into zombies for some reason

Kyra (Tansy Parkinson) has telekinetic power and has been the test subject of Raven Health. She escapes and Raven sends men after her. She is aided by mercenaries because umm, it is the right thing to do? The film is a cat and mouse chase. The zombie aspect (not true zombies) enters into the film at about 47 minutes changing the film from a bad thriller to a bad campy film. Bagpipes with one of the pipes being a gun? and then a flamethrower? Rifle flashes didn't match the bullet sounds. Sound was bad or uneven for much of the film. The acting was as bad a a Utah production. Some of the sound track is one riff looped. I didn't understand the sudden change in the film from serious to camp. It was like it was written and directed by two different people...or one person with a serious issue.Guide: no swearing sex or nudity.

ZOMBIES HAVE FALLEN is a very cheap British zombie movie filmed in Scotland and on a very low budget indeed. The plot attempts realism by having a lot of set up and scenes of supposedly important characters discussing matters in board rooms and the like, but the zombie content is low. When you see the quality of the acting from the actors playing the zombies you'll understand why.It takes about half the running time before things kick off with a zombie outbreak in a church, a set-piece which is fairly well handled considering the budget. The main character is a psychic to boot and the actress they've chosen for the role isn't too bad, but the film is too repetitive and unconvincing to really work. It reminded me a lot of HAROLD'S GOING STIFF but made without that film's angle so that it becomes another generic and forgettable zombie movie.
