Osombie (2012)
Following the 9/11 attacks, the war on terror against Afghanistan continues. With the Taliban insurgents hiding out in the mountains however, they become increasingly difficult for the US military to engage.

Undescribable Perfection
It is a performances centric movie
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Osama Bin Laden has secretly been making zombies for his newest biological weapons. When troops storm into his bunker he injects himself with the zombie serum. The soldiers shoot him and transport his body in a plane. He becomes a zombie mid flight making the plane crash into the ocean thus releasing Osombie.This thing was ridiculous. All kinds of zombies are walking around in the desert when an American team gets there and just starts shooting them like its a video game. They don't even question the fact that they are zombies. So now expert zombie killers they cut across the desert looking for Bin Laden with lots of CGI blood. The woman soldier has a samurai sword on her back. Why a Seal unit would carry that is beyond me but you just knew they had to incorporate into a scene.This wasn't very politically correct or any good really. Just one long boring video game.
Dusty is on a desperate mission to save her brother Derek, a conspiracy theorist who is convinced Bin Laden is still alive, despite having been buried at sea. She falls in with a team of NATO special forces on a secret assignment. Turns out Derek is not so crazy after all, and that Bin Ladan has returned from the grave, and is making an army of zombie terrorists. When the group crash into the zombie army, Dusty and the troops must find and destroy the root of the zombie insurgency before it infests the rest of the world......The extra star is for the first ten minutes of the film, its a brilliant high concept. Bin Ladan, knowing that his time is up, injects himself with obvious Zombie juice to make himself come back. And this had me instantly intrigued. Could a straight to Blu Ray movie, that only cost me £1, be actually any good.But the narrative soon laid rest to that. And as soon as the titular character fell into his watery grave, it's as if the makers have taken their one great idea, threw it overboard, and left it to drift away with Wilson the volleyball.The rest of the film is literally a group if people, led by a shirtless bargain basement Colin Farrell wannabe, running into Afghan Zombies very five minutes and killing them, with the added bonus of awful CGI blood.Once in a while, one of the group gets bitten, and the bloke with the bears tells a really weak joke.By the time we get to see the titular character again, you couldn't care less what has happened, or what will happen, because you'll be asking yourself one question.Who's drooling more, the Zombie or yourself out of sheer boredom.
This is a very underrated film. The actors play the roles well, some over the top kind of acting is appreciated in its timing, and the true acting in the serious parts is well done. It is a refreshing take on a genre that is well wore in at this point. You know what the characters are in for from the very start and it doesn't waste its time introducing characters that die right away, but keeps the importance of the said character in picture. The special effects are done well considering its not big time movie production. If your the type of person that like movies for the same 20 actors that you see all the time bugger off with your bad reviews and go back to giving the next *Michael Fassbender and *Ryan Gossling movie full rating just because you recognize them, and not because you like story lines or anything like that.*Nothing against those two, their good actors.
I thoroughly enjoyed this zombie film and the first thing i have to say is how refreshing it was to watch men taking tops off rather then the typical dumb blonde with fake tits! The acting was superb and there was no shaky camera (what most low budget films have) and the make up/effects on the zombies was brilliant! The storyline was well thought out and as i said earlier the actors were brilliant. Lots of bloody gore and heads being blown off! Throughly entertaining and enjoyable to watch! Very reasonable to buy and will be one that i will keep and watch again. Recommended to family and friends and all horror fans that want to watch a gory bloody zombie film with (for a change) no sex or nudity or bad swearing! A*
