Absolutely brilliant

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I'll keep this review short. I don't really like this film at all, it was way too dark even for a zombie film.I don't remember much from this, and that's another problem, it was too forgettable. All I remember is that a group of friends get together for the weekend or something,and then a zombie apocalypse happens.Now I do like at least like some zombie films including The Walking Dead. but this film starts with promise and ends very badly.I watched this because Sarah Butler was in it but even that didn't save this movie.Most people like happy endings or at least an upbeat one in this subject matter.A lot of you on here are right, this film honestly sucks.The characters could have been written a lot better, hell the whole movie could have been a lot better.Theirs nothing to like in this film, no humor, on fun, sexy sidekicks, no one liners, no nudity, sex scenes, no bad ass weaponry, no bad ass vehicles, no villains other than the zombies, no epic chase scenes, no cool explosions, I could go on but you get the point.Overall, I think it sucked which is a shame because it would have been cool if the writers and director would have gave us a cool zombie film that I think we all would have liked.I give it a 1/10. it was just awful.

Besides an ill-advised ending with a desperate attempt at shock value which just looks tacked on, and infected humans pursuing college kids who are as scary as a Barbie doll, "The Demented" does what it can with a overtly familiar premise: terrorist attack using bio weaponry turns a rural town and surrounding area into flesh hungry, claws-out fiends. They run feverishly when not locked in this mannequin stance ripping at their hair on cue. It starts with pretty couples, friends from the university, gathered at one of their own's cabin in the woods by the lake. Then what once were neighbors become stark raving mad rushing ghouls. Crazed editing and virtually no gore or zombie violence hamper this even more. Looked like a regional production in Louisiana. Sarah Butler of I Spit on Your Grave 1 & 3 is one of the victims, of the remaining three who can't jump a fence in time, with the mob of crazies catching up to her... attractive and not a bad actress, this film does her a disservice. Good to see an African- American character make it to the end. If you don't want the kids to survive just have the chopper out of reach! You still achieve the grim result without getting cute. Town sequence, like the chase in the alleys, up stairs, and from elevator to upper and lower floors provide some excitement. There's a decent scene where heroism as a pursuit of keys by climbing from the room, out a window, on a roof, to the ground, back in the house, in the kitchen, to retrieve keys, leads to a decision on whether to leave or return for your friends. Lots of bodies flung from vehicles. Carefully concealed violence speaks on the limited budget available. Early scenes feature the girls and guys discussing their relationships and futures, all of which face annihilation. Kayla Newel of The Vampire Diaries is really the lead actress of the cast, with Butler the second behind her. Michael Welch (I watched him in Hansel & Gretel Get Baked recently) is Butler's suspect boyfriend who is uncovered to have slept with her friend, with a sense of humor to match. He gets it early, the jerk. Richard Kohnke is Newel's insufferably nice boyfriend she feels smothered by. Ashlee Brian is the more heroic and athletic of the bunch with Britney Alger, his girlfriend tied to a one night stand with Welch, sealing her fate to leave the film early

If you have ever seen a zombie movie, or played Dead Rising, then you have seen this story. A small group to begin with has to first realize then deal with the current zombie apocalypse, then figure out that they need to reach the highest point in the land to get rescued. This would all really just be the same story, except there was a nice surprise at the end that made me shout "What a Twist!" for the first time in months. if you have 90 minutes to kill, and this movie is in the free bin, then check it out if only to get to the end. Otherwise you have better things to do. Like (let's face it) preparing yourself for that inevitable Zombie apocalypse that we are all hoping for because it will be better than running out of oil.

4 friends get together at another friend's house to have fun. Along with his girl, this makes 3 couples. At some point during the course of their get together, they receive news of a terrorist attack via a telephone call from their friend's father who owns the house they're partying in. They are freaked out, naturally, and wonder if they should leave or stay put. They decide to stay (Hmmm...this can't be good).They later become besieged by zombies of the fast-moving kind who for some reason at one point in the movie can't figure out what to do about a gate that is only a few inches taller than them. Reminds me here of the zombie movie with Dolph Lungren. Steep stairs are a breeze, but apparently this ability is not transferable to going over a gate 2 or 3 inches taller than you. Ah, well, can't have everything.Let's see now... In this movie there's a lot of running, panicking, screaming, yelling as the zombies try to thin out the herd (the weak, the infirmed, the stupid...you know how it is). And what would a zombie movie be without some occasional "laying low". Or to put it in less cool terms: "Waiting until the dead stinking things leave". It becomes kind of like a video game. The group (whats left of them), learn that choppers are picking up survivors at strategic locations. Can they get to a rescue point without being the main course at a zombie banquet? If they can they get to fly away and give everything below them the middle finger.The ending of the movie might be somewhat puzzling. There are 2 possible endings depending on WHEN the woman was dreaming or imagining things. You have to decide for yourself. Oh yeah, before I close, I must tell you that this movie strain of zombies are often in some kind of trance or suspended animation; dormant and "statue-like" until their food unwittingly wakes them by making too much noise. Then they become Olympic material. In a way it's kind of flattering though. You know, that something thinks you're so delicious that they break all kinds of records to get to you. Now that's love. Boloxxxi.
