Wow, the first 30 minutes of this film are a pure masterclass in high stakes zombie/crazies style gore with one of the most realistic falls from a tall building/splat to the pavement scenes I have ever seen, closely followed by a "Meet Joe Black" car vs body scissor-gore moment but the standout scene is the subway train melee with more blood and gore than I think I have ever seen in a film.
Unfortunately the film loses its way as soon as the two protagonists reach the hospital and from there on in it descends into a miasma of chop, slash and random blood spatter, mixed with some truly gruesome and to many people, highly offensive rape scenes, which spoiled what was an excellent start to a new zombie-crazies style pandemic end of world scenario which I am a big fan of.
Undoubtedly the Asians are now the master of the Zombie end of days genre, with the West losing its way with TWD and just about any other new zombie-pandemic rubbish they come out with and this film, even though it lost its direction half way through, still beats most of the Hollywood nonsense into a cocked hat, so I am giving this one a very fair above average 6 hatchets out of 10 on this one!
