DVD REVIEW:

Another Sam Lee movie that you know will be corny but you just watch because the guy is so damn funny!  Well, he partners up with Jordan Chan for a zombie movie which is similar to the "Dawn of the Dead" movie and "House of the Dead" video game.

This movie is a lot better than the (2000) Bio-Cops with Sam Lee and Stephen Fung.  The zombies are much more scarier in this film and the humor fits with this movie than it does with Bio-Cops.

The DVD is Mei Ah and it's a miracle but it's pretty good.  Aside from the trailers, the fact that they added the alternative ending (that was scrapped because test audiences didn't like it) was pretty cool.  

The menu took me a while to figure out because it's different from other Mei Ah releases.  You need to click on the icon to select it and then click again to access.

Another thing is that many people have claimed that the DVD has problems playing on their DVD player.  In my case, it didn't want to work in my APEX DVD player but worked perfectly on my SONY.  So, although it's all-region, I think it's important for those of you who don't have a second DVD player about this.

Expect a lot of humor, a lot of laughs but also expect things to get serious.

A fun "scary" movie to watch.
