~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

Bio Zombie (1998)

Director: Wilson Yip

Synopsis:
A toxic serum made for bio warfare, and disguised in soda can, ends up in the hands of the civilians at a mall. A person mistakenly drinks the serum, dies, and turns into a zombie which in turns attacks the remaining people at the mall.

My Take:
A Chinese homage to many zombie films of the past. Bad make up is forgiven due to the great characters and levity in their performances. There's a lot of comedy in the daily happening of the characters and a slow build to when the proverbial shit hits the fan. A bleak ending smacks you in the face.
I liked this a lot more than anticipated.

Rating: So Good
