Pretty bad.
First off, I like zombie movies and understand that they tend to be less-than perfect. Even so, this one is pretty bad. The acting is wooden and uninspired, the effects only so-so and the plot isn’t very original at all.

The lighting is also quite bad.

I’m not sure what else to say about it except that the majority of the voters here must have been involved in the production because 5.9 is an unbelievably high number for this film. If you were involved in this film, please do not ever take part in any films in the future! And please refrain from voting up a stinker like this. Thank you.

Old school zombie action!
Zone of the Dead is the first zombie actioner produced in Serbia. It belongs to a growing Serbian genre scene that has quite a few surprises up its sleeve and since 2002 produced some fine films like slasher TT Sindrom by Dejan Zecevic and youth oriented creature feature Sheitan’s Warrior by Stevan Filipovic. Unlike typical European genre fare outside of Italian film industry, this feature is very orthodox in its approach to the genre substance. Maybe because Italians were involved as co-producers. The plot is very Carpenteresque and pits a group of police officers escorting a prisoner against the zombie infestation caused by an ecological disaster.

Zone of the Dead doesn’t try to expand and bend the genre territory, it opts to be exploitation in the Italian sense and reminds of Italian exploitation films from the early 80s with Fred Williamson in charge. Only this time, Ken Foree, the sole zombie film icon, is in charge and headlines this production. It is refreshing to see such deadpan zombie concept, especially when genrebending projects like World War Z and Zombieland start piling up. This film is trying to play the zombie threat straight and to spice it up with gunfights and action and I guess audience of Resident Evil-series will find it useful to fill the gap between installments of that movie franchise.

The set-up echoes Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 and the zombie action is along the lines of Lamberto Bava’s Demons. It is very uncommon for Serbian cinema that the violence and zombie mayhem are handled quite well, and Zone of the Dead delivers the goods on the level of contemporary B-movie fare. Special kudos go to Miroslav Lakobrija, this film’s makeup wiz who did a great job with all kinds of bloodletting and zombie prosthetics.

Ken Foree is quite solid in his first leading role in over 30 years and Kristina Klebe uses her opportunity to expand on the ‘scream queen’ reputation gained in Rob Z|zombie’s Halloween remake. Up until now, a relative unknown Emilio Roso, who was cast as The Prisoner, creates a fine variation on Napoleon Wilson.

Directors Milan Konjevic and Milan Todorovic with their Serbian crew bring a lot of energy to the proceedings. Even though this film was made on a moderate budget it still delivers shootouts, chases, hordes of zombies, crashing cars and full on human vs zombies battle climax. Zombies in the film are both the slow ones invented by Romero and fast ones championed by Snyder so it is obvious the authors of the first Serbian zombie film wanted to cram all of the zombie traditions into one film. The only zombies missing are those who rose form the grave.

Zone of the Dead is a must for the genre fans, not just as a curio since it was made in Serbia, but also as a much needed shot of VHS era Italo influence exploitation that you may need in these ironic genrebending times. It is currently in Serbian cinemas. It is also about to hit Spanish and Italian cinemas in May while other territories will certainly get a DVD release in no time.
