Well, getting ready to watch it. Here's what the sleeve says:
When four corrupt policemen invade a gangster's hideout near Paris to avenge the death of their colleague, they quickly find themselves outmanned, outgunned and trapped. That is, until a legion of vicious zombies swarms through the building. Now, the cops, the crooks and the undead are swept up in a bloody three-way rampage. Yannick Dahan and Benjamin Rocher direct this gore-filled French thriller that stars Jo Prestia and Eriq Ebouaney.
Sounds awful, don't know why I even added it to my queue. I'll post back with a review.

Ok, it was horrible. I mean, I sat through it, and was wishing I was watching something else, but I like bad horror sometimes. So, I was dealing. Really glad when it ended. A French subtitled film is a whole different game than a Japanese subtitled film. At least in a Japanese film, the visuals make you forget about the subtitles. Not in this one.
I can't recommend this one. I'd feel bad.

I hear the french make a damn good horror film and zombies films are supposed to be great.... But I guess the two combine just suck yes

I didn't give this one a fair chance. I was a little drunk and got tired of reading, lol. So, I was kinda just glancing at it while online. Watching it again now with the wife, and it's not terrible.
I still don't like the sub titles,and in this one you need them to follow the story somewhat. But, the zombies are pretty intense given a proper viewing, and loads of gore.
So, I retract my horrible rating, and give this one a not horrible, but I've seen way better.
And what's with zombies in movies running the 40 in 4.5 anymore? They're dead. Their bodies are rotting. How the freak are they running so fast??

yea when alcohol is in the mix it can confuse you some lol yea i was excited when i saw the first zombies running but now its just a pain and is over done.. Zombies are supposed to be slow but win with the numbers in all directions.. i mean walls and windows are no match for these simple minded monsters but put a door knob between you and your safe.. C'mon MAN!!

Yeah, lol. What's up with that? And, I'll take the classic shambling zombies from Night Of The Living Dead over any of the track stars nowadays.

I want to watch this just to see how stupid it really is because the trailer had me laughing my rear end off.
Anyway, I too am a fan of the slow zombies instead of the ones that look like their returning kickoffs in the NFL.

I think zombies should only be able to run if it's a person who JUST died. Zombies that come out of the grave after 200 years should be slow.
I think the absolute worst zombies ever were the ones from the Day of the Dead remake. They were climbing the walls and jumping around like Spider-Man!

Super-hero zombies, now that sounds interesting! I wanna see a group of civilians have to fight off Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc. after they get turned into zombies. Zombies with super powers!

Well, you had zombie heroes and villains in both the Marvel and DC Universe. Marvel had Marvel Zombies (which I think is up to part 5) and DC had the Black Lanterns in Blackest Night. I know, I know...NERD!
