Zombieworld (2014/Image DVD)


Picture: B Sound: B Extras: C- Film: C +



The End Is HERE!


Dread Central presents Zombieworld (2014), which is an anthology film mash-up of several different zombie shorts that occur all over the world (and passages of time) where the undead have resurfaced to drink the blood of the living. Some shorts are better than others, as with any anthology film, including one in the first act that stands out - involving Jesus battling the undead and a few faux commercials that tell you how to survive the zombie apocalypse with tips that aren't too far off from Sony's Zombieland from 2009, reviewed elsewhere on this site.


The closest thing the film has to a narrator is a TV News anchor who is increasingly becoming more and more infected as the film progresses. There are several segments that rely on point of view shots - in many instances the main character gets eaten and some get more creative than others. Some parts of the film are more comedy and some parts more raw horror.


Picture and Sound are standard for DVD and nothing to really write home about. Presented in standard definition with an anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 widescreen aspect ratio and a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track, the film could definitely benefit from a Blu-ray disc upgrade. Only extra is a short film entitled Marathon Apocalypse.


If you're hungry for more zombie carnage, there are some moments in this that aren't terrible but all in all it's a one timer.
