~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.

Apocalypse of the Dead (2010)

AKA: Zone of the Dead

Starring: Ken Foree, Kristina Klebe
Director: Milan Konjevic, Milan Todorovic

Premise:
During a routine military exercise and chemical is accidentally released with kills people and reanimates them as zombies. An Interpol team transporting a fugitive gets caught in the middle.

My Take:
A typical zombie flick which doesn't add much to the genre. And the subplot with the Interpol team feels out of place. There are decent special effects though.

Rating: Warning

Life and Death of a Porno Gang (2011)

Director: Mladen Djordjevic

Premise:
A young director gets involved in making porno movies. He gets in financial trouble with the producers and goes on the run. He gathers a troupe and decides to open a theater to perform adult stage plays. They get shut down and decide to take the show to small villages. Along they way they are propostioned by a German to make snuff films.

My Take:
The movie is graphic and a bit shocking, but not for the sake of mere shock value. It all fits within the story of this group abandoning their morals in order for a pay day in a poverty stricken country.

Rating: In the middle (should be required viewing by all genre fans)
