The movie serves it's purpose
8 October 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This sequel of the 2005 movie has the same purpose as the first one:It's there to entertain,it's not a horror film it's a zombie parody, a Greek everyday parody, an ancient Greek parody.

When I saw this, everyone was laughing in the theater.It's a FUN movie,gore is everywhere in a ridicule way,heads are popping in the screen all the time, the lines are simple but quite entertaining with pop culture references flying all the way,we see zombies in mantles and tunics ,the scenario is 100% predictable but really,who cares?

-Don't see it if you want to feel horror emotions

-Don't see it if you want to see any depth in scenario /character development.

-Don't see it if you want to see any Hollywood-like effects.

-Don't see it if you want to see astonishing actors and act

But I highly recommend it to any (Greek) that wants to have 88 really awesome minutes.

The visual effects are good for Greek standards ,bit comic like deaths,but you can see the increase in budget to the first movie

Argyris Thanasoulas (Argyris) and Antreas Kontopoulos ( Lt.Vakyrtis) are the only notable actors that play above average, the rest (big crew) is mediocre at best.

The story begins on the end of the First ''Kako'' movie.The survivors meet up with a group of other barricaded survivors and they not only need to take care of the zombies but other random Greek that have taken advantage of the chaos and shoot random moving targets (zombie or not). In the meantime we take small flashbacks into ancient Greece where the zombie apocalypse has happened as well and we learned about how they faced them.

In my opinion this is the way Greek cinema should move on. We will never have the CGI or the scenario background or the huge budgets to go face to face with international movies,so we rather parody them.

As for foreign people ,you might get a DVD release of this sooner or later in the US,I'd only suggest you if you really want to see every zombie movie out there since the Greek jokes and culture references might not touch you.
