Story: Dr. Harry a scientist working for the US government is infected with a prototype virus that is being developed to make un killable super soldiers. He travels back to Hong Kong where he has a friend who has some advanced knowledge concerning the Virus. Dr. Harry gets in trouble with some triads after a quick fight where the Triads get beaten up the police come and arrest everyone. While in prison the virus changes Dr. Harry into a zombie and he starts infecting others.

Review: This is a Zombie horror type movie much like the popular Bio Zombie. The movie is based on the same zombie pretext and in our opinion was based on the success of Bio Zombie and Resident Evil. The horror element in this movie is basically the zombie but a good portion of the movie is more funny than scary. The story is pretty ordinary, the first half of the movie slowly builds up becoming more interesting while the second half the story becomes a little pointless.

The characters were pretty ordinary, only one character was really interesting during the movie, a small potato(Sam Lee) in the Triad. This character mostly stuck out because he was pretty funny in how he acted in the various situations. As for the zombies they were pretty funny in how they acted, the zombies in Bio Zombie were much better. There was also a king zombie which was kind of cheesy.

The movie itself is not really action packed for the genre, the first half of the movie is building up slowly to something good. In the second half you have zombie all over and people trying to get away. Most of the movie is in a police station, you would expect more people to be armed and ready to deal with zombies. Most of the time they were running and hiding from zombies and nothing really exciting going on. So actionwise this movie was pretty ordinary and un-exciting.

The subtitles were nice and clear on the DVD version, we had little trouble following the dialog. We were not too sure what this movie was when were ordered it we knew it was a new release. We expected something in the Bio Zombie style or perhaps something with some inspiration by a video game called Resident Evil. We were disappointed when the movie was over, the first half of the movie builds up to something great but when you have really strange zombie running around and nothing happening it got pretty cheesy. This movie could have been a lot better as they had elements for a cool story, they had the Triad involved and deserters from the Chinese army and a band of angry peasants raiding a police station. Yet even with all these interesting elements nothing good came out of it, we found the movie to be pretty cheesy and maybe an attempt to cash in on Bio Zombie's success. Perhaps some of you will like this movie but don't expect anything special when watching this one.

DVD [ NTSC, All Region ] :


A good image quality and a very decent surround 5.1 sound. This DVD includes the following extras : Chapter Selection, Cast and Crew, A trailer for Clean my name Mr. Coroner. We founded it strange that they did not have the movies trailer on the DVD, if you really liked this movie its a good buy but we suggest watch it before you buy it.
