Zoombies

Plot synopsis:
The Eden Wildlife Zoo, a refuge for endangered animals, is about to be opened to the public. The film starts with Dr. Ellen Rogers, who inherited the zoo from her grandfather, announcing the coming opening of the park on a TV commercial.
Some of the zoo's monkeys are infected by an unknown disease. They are taken to the veterinarian clinic, where Dr. Gordon uses intracardiac epinephrine, a forbidden serum, in order to save the life of a monkey who suffered a cardiac arrest. The contagious pathogen spreads to other monkeys in the room, causing their eyes to become white and their body to appear dark and dirty and their behavior to become predatory towards humans. They violently attack and apparently kill everyone in the room.
A group of zoology college students are visiting Eden Wildlife Zoo for internship, while it is still private. They are led by Ellen, who is also taking care of her young daughter Thea. After arriving the zoo, the students take different parts to serve different areas of the park. Chelsea the birdkeeper shows the zoo's aviary to Ricky, a student fascinated with birds. It is revealed that Amber, a political sciences major doing zoology for internship, is secretly on probation for small offenses. It is shown that Thea has a long friendship with Kifo, the zoo's endangered Cross River gorilla.
The zoo's security team, which is composed of Rex, Boris, Ty and Lizzy, receives an alarm coming from the clinic room and no one responds on the walkie-talkies. They head there with Gage, one of the students, to check out what's happening. There they find a bloody Dr. Gordon and his assistants Johnny and Robin dead. An infected monkey appears from the insides of the doctor's body, and the other monkeys are revealed to be in the room. They violently confront the team, killing Boris and Ty. Three of them eventually escape and began infecting the rest of the zoo. Ellen shoots an alarm to warn everyone in the park to seek a closed shelter.
Wild hogs attack Amber and two other students, who manage to escape by climbing a tree. However, they are attacked again by infected giraffes, who kill Amber's two colleagues. The security team arrives with Gage and shoot the giraffes to death, saving Amber. During a subsequent giraffe attack, Amber steals the team's jeep after she decided to escape the zoo quickly, depleting them of transport and equipment. They meet a pack of non-affected elephants, which they decide to use as transport.
A police team arrives the zoo, but is killed by infected lions when trying to approach them in the zoo's warehouse. Amber arrives the zoo's locked gate, and is attacked by an infected gray wolf when desperately trying to get to the other side. Thea is subsequently attacked by an infected koala who climbed the watchtower where she and Ellen stood, but manages to kill it. While riding the elephants, Rex, Lizzy and Gage are attacked by infected lemurs, but saved by AJ, one of the students, and Daxton, one of the zookeepers. They are told that the CDC will only arrive within two more hours.
Rex, Lizzy, Gage, AJ and Daxton shelter in the gorilla lab near Kifo's exhibit. But the gorilla is also infected, and attacks Daxton after he approaches the primate. Kifo throws Daxton through door to the lab and kills him. With everyone threatened, Rex stabs Kifo, but the gorilla detaches his head. The rest manage to push a heavy rock into Kifo and escape his exhibit. The three then hear a jeep coming in, with a dying and feeble Amber driving. She soon dies, and the group is approached by lions. When some of the lions feed on Amber's corpse, they drive away in the jeep to escape while chased by the lions. Lizzy and Gage manage to shoot and kill one of the incoming predators.
Ellen tells Chelsea to set the birds free to avoid infection, and says that a sample she took of the infected koala's blood revealed that an unknown enzyme infected the animal's cerebral cortex. Infected birds soon begin trying to escape the highly protected aviary by breaking the glass. AJ, Lizzy and Gage use an unfinished zip line to get to the Watchtower, but the cable breaks in the process, and AJ falls to his death. In the Watchtower, they join Ellen and Thea, and prepare to set fire to the aviary by using flammable gas cans from the tower's basement. After Chelsea does not respond on the walkie-talkie, Lizzy and Gage go to the aviary to check on her. Lizzy tells Ellen to destroy the aviary if they do not come back. Lizzy and Gage find Chelsea and Ricky dying in the aviary, with an infected parrot building a nest in Chelsea's intestines. Ellen sets the aviary on fire. Lizzy and Gage manage to escape before Ellen leaves in the truck. When they realize the fire won't reach some of the birds, they blow up the truck to cause an additional, quicker fire.
Kifo, alive, chases the survivors to the zoo's gate. Ellen manages to shoot down the gorilla after he attacks them. A helicopter arrives and rescues the four. Ellen believes she ruined her grandfather's dream, but the others comfort her saying she did the right thing. In the final scene, Kifo is revealed to be still alive.

Review:
Folks that are fans of Asylum movies will not be let down by this zombie/action movie,as it is fairly standard Asylum type movie.I myself do like the stuff coming out of the company,and have for years.Plenty of c.g.i. monkeys ,blood ,and other effects,and some decent effects,and make-up.The gorilla ,Kifa ,i think, was an actor ,and was cool enuf,and not c.g.i.
.the actors,some regulars for Asylum ,did a good job,and there were some hot chicks in there.I wish these films had more eye candy,like some bare breasts,but this is not for everyone,and most of these films are for t.v.
,so ,it is what it is.For the most part,this was a cool way to kill some spare time on my week-end ,and knock off a six pack.Great for a one time watch.Back in the 80,s ,there was a movie from Italy that had some rampaging ,pcp influenced animals that wiped out a bunch of people ,and this shoddy gem reminded me of that movie.glad that Asylum is still pumping these out..
I came into watching this movie with no expectations and this made it a better film.
The problem is that while Sharknado utilises a stupid concept to make a movie that is pure trash but also pure awesome, Zoombies is mostly the trash part with very little awesome.There are clear comparisons to Jurassic World, but where that movie's shaky plot is made up for by big budget effects, cool set pieces and Chris Pratt, this movie has none of these, so it is just mostly rubbish.Sure there are some laughs at seeing actors pretend they are sitting on elephants and hanging from a rope (seriously how hard is it to actually shoot actors hanging from a rope - just put them on a rope a couple of feet above the ground), but overall it is far more cringe than amusement.
During the start a scene starts it goes to a new scene some where else in the park which takes in movie time but when we go back to original scene nothing happened and its just startingThis movie is a good movie to watch with some friends late at night for the entertainment valueHope to see a second R.
Personally, I think the soundtrack to this movie is what ultimately "makes" the film.
No one is looking to hide that this is low budget film and that's what I like about the Asylum productions.
Watch it if you are in for some good entertainment, an excellent laugh, and want to see what will be in the kitsch movies' Hall of Fame in 10 years!.
I feel like a middle school movie making class class would have done a much more professional job with the special effects.
This movie seemed like a really good idea but I believe the animators could have worked a little longer or used better software or something to make the animals and the special effects at least halfway convincing or just make the whole thing a cartoon, because the mix of real people and cartoon is very annoying..
A virus is spreading among the animals turning them into violent zombies.This is an Asylum production.
Admittedly, The Asylum do have a small group of watchable films and the occasional (big emphasis on that word) above average one, unfortunately outweighed by the lacklustre at best and often dreadful films they churn out.Was expecting much worse after recently seeing 'Operation Dunkirk', but was somewhat fascinated by the weird but seemingly different concept of the film, not being your typical zombifying film.
Seeing it, The Asylum have certainly done far worse, 'Zoombies' is actually despite not being a good film at all is one of the better films from The Asylum seen recently.
Have popcorn while looking at this wild over the top slapstick comedy of how the Zoo animals become zombies.
I love bad movies and The Asylum makes some of the worst, just look at the Sharknado saga and the Z-Nation television series, which are both awesome.Unfortunately, this film doesn't have the same coolness to it.
However, it's the acting and directing that make this film poor, luckily the tongue-in- cheek style of this film keeps it from failing.Most of the acting is wooden, with the exception of Kim Neilsen who plays Dr Ellen Rodgers and LaLa Nester, as her daughter Thea, who is actually the best actress on the set.
This character is so way over the top it's as annoying as hell and helps to spoil the movie.It's a low budget affair so you expect the special effects to be poor, but on the whole, the CGI is passable I especially liked the attacking giraffes.
Since I like bad movies, I loved the man in the gorilla suit.
Sweet.If the acting were better and the direction tighter then this would have been a more enjoyable and pleasing movie.If you love B-movie films and The Asylum then this is worth a watch, though not more than once..
Zoombies(2016) Starring: Ione Butler, Andrew Asper, Lala Nestor, Kim Nielsen, Marcus Anderson, Brianna Joy Chomer, Ivan Djurovic, Aaron Groben, Kaiwi Lyman, William McMichael, Reuben Uy, Isaac Anderson, Tammy Klein, Cedric Jonathan, Joe Conti, Noa Pharaoh, Jennifer Titus, and Michael Delgado Directed By: Glenn Miller Review UNCAGED, UNDEAD Hello kiddies your pal the crypt-critic just visited the asylum and let me tell you the movies there just keep getting worse.
When a strange virus quickly spreads through a safari park and turns all the zoo animals undead, those left in the park must stop the creatures before they escape and zombify the whole city.
This is your typical asylum movie with a silly situation, with crazy killer animals and awful acting and cg that looks like if I made it on a computer.
And you know that as soon as you see their logo, that it is going to be one of those movies......and "Zoombies" was just exactly that.
Zombies and zoo animals, sure, why not?It might have worked out well enough on paper, but transferred to the screen, not so much.
They were left with some questionable and shoddy CGI attempts at making zombified zoo animals, which mostly turned out to appear more like something you'd find in a "5 Nights at Freddies" game.The storyline was as simple and generic as they come.
And it didn't really help to promote the movie either that the storyline was so predictable that you knew what would happen a mile away.As for the acting, well, let's just say that you know what you are getting with a movie such as this, and that way you don't get your hopes up for anything grand.
But, of course, you can't judge a movie by it's cover alone, for most of the times."Zoombies" was a foray into the zombie genre that attempted something new but failed most horribly.
I found it unexeptable because kifo died for everyone which I thought was very upsetting and then we had a good time when it wasn't a bad idea but it wasn't that good to see it was too much and it wasn't that hard but it is a very funny app but I can't wait till the day of my school day for a day I can't believe it was a great kid who is a good man to me I am a man of god who I can tell I am a nephew of a man and a boy I know that he doesn't like it to me I love him so he is my friend he said hi and hi to my name on the show but he is so funny I don't want you in the name I don't want to him I love him so I don't tell me he is a liar I love him so I can trust him and he came my nephew he is my life I know what he is doing to him I know that he doesn't matter to him and he is not going home and he came it is is not a great day to be the nephew and nephew of.
A virus gets spread through a little monkey that makes animals go insane and kill people.
Before long other animals are infected and it is survival of the fittest as employees and interns try and get out alive.This is one of the better Asylum Films which doesn't say much I guess.
When a strange virus quickly spreads through a safari park and turns all the zoo animals undead, those left in the park must stop the creatures before they escape and zombify the whole city.Yes, the CGI is beyond deplorable.
Yes, it comes from The Asylum, who have almost never made a good movie.
And yet, somehow, it manages to succeed as a so bad it's good movie.Unlike garbage like "Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre", this film had a certain level of heart and humor.
Preparing the new interns at the zoo, a woman realizes that the escaped monkeys running wild in the park are infected with a virus which turns the animals into ravenous bloodthirsty creatures and must find a way to save the remaining staff and uninfected animals.This here was a decent if still rather flawed effort.
The main part that really works here with this one is the film's rather nice amount of action that runs through here as this one has a large amount of encounters with all the different animals.
From the opening in the vet clinic where the monkeys go wild and attack the doctors in a pretty cheesy encounter, there's a great pace throughout here with the later scenes in the different pens as the animals start going wild which is the start of the fun as the scenes of the group out in the warthog pens being menaced by the giraffes and the fine encounter with the monkeys where they attack the group by jumping on them from above and scratching them up is all quite cheesy and enjoyable scenes with the animals on the loose running wild.
There's even more good fun to come from the scenes of the animals hunting the SWAT team that tries to save them or the great scene of the gorilla hunting them in the control room before stalking the escaped members into it's habitat close-by which is one of the more chilling scenes here with the way the creature stalks them through the area which are all so much fun here and set up the grand finale.
The acting is bad, and the only thing that's worse than the acting is the actual CGI effects.
The CGI looks as bad as that on the first season of the Legendary Journey's of Hercules, the difference is this is 2016 and if you can't bother putting money into the special effects than don't bother at all.
These are really low grade looking CGI creatures, and it's hard watching the actors pretending to act against the obvious green screen to creatures that aren't really there.
This is just bad movie making.
Likes : I really don't know how to say this film is shockingly bad , the only two thing i can say that is good, it that its not your typical human zombie film's that have been done to death, which is a plus side in the concept of it being zombie animals.
The thing is the acting is some what bearable at time so it does have though two things working for it , but sadly its not enough to stop this film being seriously bad.
Dislikes : Where do i start, there are so many thing bad about this film is shocking these film ever make it to DVD, the c.g.i is so poor & cheap looking it look fake & the scene with the gorilla some of it is bad C.G.I & half of it looks like a guy in a cheesy costume shop gorilla suit that so fake it just make this film even worst.
There is a few seen where the dialogue is really bad along with its cuts scene it like this film has been made by an amateur but this is what you should expect from asylum pictures cheap, fake looking movies that end up being shown on syfy channel with all the other poor film's.
Unless your a fan of asylum film i would avoid this trash.These people that make this low budget film's on a low budget should not use C.G.I its cheap & tacky on screen it look fake, on these budget animatronic should be use only because it look better with a low budget than force a poorly made C.G.I effect film because it looks bad..
Awful, ridiculous, ludicrous are probably some to start with.First of all the cause of the zombie animals is epinephrine.Seriously?
(Some cell interconnection on digital systems is possible but this ain't it) I love how the security guy says they don't have cameras set up to see what's going on anywhere at the lab complex yet when they arrive at the lab there are cameras friggin everywhere and they are used throughout the rest of the film to see what's going on.Got to love five lions surrounding the group less than a foot away ready to shred them to bits and eat them yet they manage to get into the jeep and get away just fine.I could go on but it gets worse with the ending, with the mother killing the only friend that her little girl has in the world, the gorilla.Really a waste of time to watch, sorry I spent 1 1/2 hours on it..
Well, no - actually, 'Zoombies' is so terrible, that I skipped through half the film.
It's bad, because the people responsible do not care about making good material.
Actually not a bad movie at all.
These undead creatures must be stopped and contained inside the safari park before "infecting" the other zoo animals.
The film wasn't the worst I have seen but certainly not the best ,, switch the film on and then switch your brain off u will like it better that way but if your one of those people who look to criticise every film then please don't watch it lol coz u will be forever writing about how bad this story and effects were, one good thing at least my kids were well entertained for hour n a half.
It is perhaps best described as a zombie animal tribute film to "Jurassic Park." Eden is the name of a zoo for endangered species rehab animals.
In one scene the doctor is on the phone and it appears she is talking to a police officer on a walkie-talkie.The film is for Asylum fans who don't take their movies seriously.
I'm sorry to say but this is not what I expected as a zombie movie others may like it more than others for me it could have had more heart and soul maybe it was a practice film of some sort for more experience and knowledge but as I said it could have been done better and put more time into this for all of us.
Where it lacks in eye catching visual effects, it actually makes up for in good writing, which is usually the other way around in these films.
The acting isn't bad,(another rarity in zombie films), but who watches these films for that anyway?
You watch it for a good scare, which this movie does provide.
It's not for the weak of stomach though for there are scenes with lots of blood and gore, as any good zombie film will have..
Virus and patient zero: The movie leads you to believe that something happens to a few monkeys and then one dies; the vet uses an epi-pen and the monkey becomes a zombie.-the story line mentions the virus could be airborne, but they don't o into more detail and it leaves you wondering.2.
also, you would think that becoming zombie like, then they'd turn on each other first.
For instance, she took everyone's phone away just because 1 girl was talking to her mom (or whoever).Later, the interns are out somewhere in the woods when, possible the worst CGI giraffe zombies attack them, forcing them into a tree.
Just saying.Later, we see that the woman from the commercial found out about the zombie animals and contacts the police (and the CDC).
Now's a good time to mention that somehow, Ellen (commercial girl) is keeping track of the movements of everyone on the zoo (including the animals and SWAT).
For some reason, assault rifles can't kill the zombie lion, so the SWAT gets mauled.Around a few minutes later, Amber (still in the jeep) is attempting to leave the zoo.
Then, Amber attempts to climb the gate, when a horribly misshapen zombie lion (results of godawful CGI) attacks her.
You can just tell how bad it looks!Later, we see some interns in a different building outside of Kifo's (the commercial girl's daughter's best friend, who is a gorilla) exhibit.
When he wakes up, he has regular eyes for a second, then comes back to life as a fully grown bad CGI'd zombie gorilla.
Later, we see some people by the jeep (by the way, sometime in the movie, Amber came back with the jeep.
(this movie kills people off like every 5-10 minutes, by the way.
zombies are thinking like people.the little girl ultimately scare and ripped the animal into parts the next minute.
The guy in the gorilla suit is also pretty bad looking.
The DVD makes the bad cgi seem even worse, by featuring a special feature where they show all the real animals they brought in, yet decided not to use.
(Ok there is some footage of the lions left in, and I even exclaimed how good the particular shot looked while watching it.) Overall, this was a fun movie, not deserving of the hatred it gets.
