| Not only is this movie crap, it's dubbed crap. There are one or two well done death scenes but the basic saving grace here is some female nudity and there's darn little of that. Zombies created by radioactivity (I have no idea how either) begin taking over some city full of people I don't really care about. At least the movie is interesting in that the zombies move quickly and use weapons, heck they're more intelligent than the humans as well. Although informed by superiors to shoot living dead through the brain we see very little implementation, soldiers spray bullets ineffectively into swarms of advancing zombies. And who lives through this entire mess? Not the soldiers or police - it's a damn reporter and his wife, the two least armed people! Further horror is garnered from the fact that we find the entire movie was just a dream but it begins coming true! |

| Things I Learned From This Movie: | |
|
- Half-mutated nuclear zombies are better shots than military police.
- Slit throats do not bleed much. Heck, at all.
- TV shows involving badly dancing girls in blue suits are catching on in Europe.
- TV sets are explosive and will set you on fire.
- Machine gun bullets will not stop zombies or even knock them back.
- Beauty marks can be in the wrong place - yuck!
- Doctors are experts at throwing scalpels.
- Nothing gets a girl hot like smacking the shit out of her.
- A single molotov cocktail will totally incinerate a huge area.
- One journalist can cause more damage than your average Civil Defense Force.

| The energetic zombies burst into this TV studio and make a statement for good taste by killing all the silly women in leotards.
