Description: A few animal activists break into a laboratory with the hopes of freeing some monkeys. What they didn't know was these monkeys were forced to watch violent images on television to change their behavior. They were being infected with rage. When the activists tried to free the monkeys, against the warning of the scientist, they got attacked and turned instantly into zombie-like creatures almost instantly. The infection spread, until whole cities became infected. Jim, who was in a coma the entire time, awakens to find himself in this new world. He teams up with any survivors he finds in order to find the answer to infection.
Gore/Violence: There was a fair bit of gore, and violence in this movie, as with any zombie-like movies. But since the movie focused more towards the survivors of the movie, there was not a whole lot.
Body Count: There were quite a few deaths in the movie. Usually this goes hand-in-hand with zombie-type movies. (Since people have to die, to turn into them). Mark, Frank, and some Soldiers are the bulk of the deaths, but there are some zombie killing as well.
Nudity & Sexuality: Warning! The movie claims nudity, but all you see is Jim's wang at the beginning of the movie. No Boobies!
Death Scenes: There were a few cool deaths in the movie, one was when Selena killed Mark when at Jim's parents home after being cut by a zombie. She killed him with a machete, which was pretty bloody.
Acting/Storyline: The acting is pretty good in the movie. Most of the actors/Actresses are pretty experience in the movie. You will not be disappointed by crappy acting in this movie. The storyline was great! Other then making it another dead coming back to life, they gave it the twist of being infected with rage. It's nice.
Final Rating: I L O V E Zombie movies! Even though technically they are not zombies, they act one in the same. The ending is where the movie starts to fall, and I started to loose interest. But upto that point I thought it was a great movie. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good movie, but the ending could use some work. Points off for showing male nudity, instead of female. :-)
