Story:
After an experimental bio-weapon is released, turning thousands into zombie-like creatures, it’s up to a rag-tag group of survivors to stop the infected and those behind its release.
Review:
The movie is the first part of the second part of my “Midnight Features”. It was awesome (Obviously!). The scratched effect and the ‘missing reel’ were an interesting additions.
The acting was also amazing. This movie was intentionally made like a cheap horror movie. Or to put it simply a hindi horror movie.. 🙂
The movie is wonderfully made with an amazing cast.
The fake trailer before this movie is of “Machete” with Danny Trejo. The trailer is funny and later made into an actual movie.
“If you’re going to hire Machete to kill the bad guy… You better make damn sure that you are not one of them”
Final Verdict:
7/10

Review:
This is part 2 of my second “Midnight Feature”. This too was awesome. Quentin Tarantino is a SUPERB director.
This movie, unlike the previous, didn’t have scratches but had two ‘missing reel’ parts which made it even more better. The story is also good. The stunt called ‘Ship’s Mast’ was actually performed by Zoë Bell and it was amazing. The acting was also brilliant.
The movie is an orignal Quentin Tarantino movie i.e. AWESOME.
Final Verdict:
9/10
Quotes:
Stuntman Mike: Well, Pam… Which way you going, left or right?
Pam: Right!
Stuntman Mike: Oh, that’s too bad…
Pam: Why?
Stuntman Mike: Because it was a fifty fifty shot on whether you’d be going left or right. You see we’re both going left. You could have just as easily been going left, too. And if that was the case… It would have been a while before you started getting scared. But since you’re going the other way, I’m afraid you’re gonna have to start getting scared… immediately!
