    One of the only Asylum films I like because
    1. It has zombies
    2. it has blood
    3. it takes place in a prison.
    But the effects and acting were pretty bad.

    Really, really bad zombie movie. Don't waste a second of your life, even when on sci-fi channel and nothing else is on. Even the attempt at eerie music gave me a headache along with zoom in zoom out shots.

    Great idea for a movie. Visually great. Fantastic makeup and realistic transformations. Poor acting and dialogue at times.

    This was better than I thought it would be. Good gore. I suspected an ending like Night of the Living Dead. I knew she would die like that.

    There's an infection where humans turn to zombies...once again, we have no clue how this infection started. And they follow a typical zombie-style movie...you turn to a zombie when you're bitten, but Dead Men Walking add the element that even if you're coughed on or bled on by a... read more zombie you become a zombie.

    That being said, just like most Asylum movies, there isn't anything great to write home about. Action is lame, acting is sub-par, and they really need to invest in some better cameras than what they're using.

    However, I did watch the whole film and I was actually slightly entertained by it.

    Pretty good for an Asylum flick, which isn't saying too much. Admittedly, the plot is nonexistant, the acting is awful, the writing is terrible, and the story is derivative of everything ever.

    Also, the use of projectile vomit got old pretty quickly.

    If you haven't seen this, SEE IT! Great zombie flick, B rated made by 'The Asylum' who normally sucks. SEE IT!

    Pros: It has zombies, good amount of gore, few boob shots. (a must in any horror film) ha ha Cons: The zombies are fast movers, the acting could have used some help. Ending is kind of forced. All in all a solid 3 star zombie flick
