Zombie Planet...let's have some more zombie action!

"This movie seemed incapable of moving (and considering I can tolerate anything as long as there's a strong finish) or going anywhere.
This is mainly about two groups of people: the "upper class" (Bad People!) versus...well, the not upper class, in a movie about carb diets turning people into zombies, but the zombies seem to have little to do with the two groups of people fighting over dominion, food, and their personal safety--which could be cool, but done very boring and without a climax.
Bottom line:
Little gore, plot sucks, it lasts almost two hours, and for what, I keep asking myself, since there is no final battle with zombies vs. people, and finally, if you're going to make a bad horror movie, at least grace us with some nudity.
Skip this one."
Zombie Planet is Fun

"Zombie Planet Stays true to the Zombie Genre. It is Fun and action packed with very good make-up effects. Most of the planet has died as a result of a drug made to reduce carbo craves, people taking the drug turn into flesh eating zombies. the hero, "Kane" a nomad, fights his way through a city of zombies to save an outcast group of people known as the dregs. Kane does battle with the "Upper Class" leader, Adam, who controls the walled "safe zone"...all hell breaks loose, and plenty of blood.
If you like zombie movies, you'll like Zombie Planet. New-comer Frank Farhat does a great job as the mysterious Kane, and Matt Perry plays the evil Adam.
great special effects by Sven Granlund and Linda Goforth.
Zombie Planet has won an award for "Best Special Effects", at the NY Independant Film feastival in 2003"
Put the "B" in zombie

"I really don't mind a b flick but this was just silly. I'm even ok with with a little bad acting as long as you make up for it with some good carnage and gore. But no, this one's a real let down."
GREAT IDEA BUT BAD MOVIE

"I thought the idea of how the zombie craze started was great. A
no carb diet pill gone bad. But the movie itself was so bad that I have to say I've seen better acting in porn movies. Now
I know it had a low budget but this really sucked."
Have to be an indie film lover

"I'd have to say that all in all I really enjoyed the movie, it had a great story line, and really good special effects. There could have been some more gory zombie scenes, but the creativity in the story make up for it. The acting for the most part was decent, in some instances some of the main actors do a great job, and I really enjoyed one of the fight scenes towards the end. I base these facts on the point that I watch alot of b movies and understand that the budget isn't there, and I have seen alot of crappy movies, and I didn't watch it expecting a gore scene every second, but I was impressed by the depth of the story and the characters. I would recomend this movie to anyone who is an indie buff, you'll really enjoy it, and I am looking forward to purchasing part 2"
