Fantasy gone wrong

I'm enjoying my Halloween horror marathon and decided to include Zombie Fight Club. At first, I was impressed-the film seemed like a surprisingly decent zombie movie, packed with action, particularly dynamic and visually impressive martial arts, along with familiar elements from solid zombie stories.But then came the downhill slide. To summarize, this film is one of the most mindless collages of gore, violence, nudity, sexuality, sexual violence, and outright chauvinism I've ever seen. And there's plenty of all of it. It feels like someone's secret bedroom fantasy put on screen. While zombie films often mix in some of these elements, here they dominate the runtime. Much of it doesn't even make sense, and the enjoyment quickly fades.On top of that, there isn't even a real story-or rather, the story is all over the place. Characters randomly switch between Chinese and English, sometimes even mid-sentence, for no reason. By the end, I could only remember two characters by name, and one of them was zombified early on. There are no likable characters, and for the first hour I didn't even know who was supposed to be the protagonist.The film also crams in references to other horror movies-not just zombie films-but many feel totally out of place. For example, who thought it was a good idea to throw the power loader from Aliens (1986) into a zombie flick? And more importantly, who has a power loader sitting in their small condo? Well, I guess the question doesn't matter-it only adds to the film's mindless nature.There was a clear moment when I thought the film had ended, and I was ready for the credits. But no-there was still half an hour left. The story then shifted so drastically that I had to double-check I was watching the same movie. That final stretch was even more saturated with violence, nudity, and sexual violence, and even less concerned with coherent storytelling. By then, I just felt bad and disgusted.It's sad, because I love zombie slashers and this one could have had potential. Instead, it squandered it. I don't recommend Zombie Fight Club. It's simply not worth your time.

All Over The Place

I agree with another reviewer on this movie. This really is all over the place. The director seems to have no direction ironically enough. It can't seem to decide what genre it wants to be, a horror, a martial arts or a dystopian post apocalypse but fails really in all areas. There is a fair amount of illogic in it which makes it very disjointed and nonsensical. It was empathized in the first part of the movie that the storm clouds in the sky were strange, alluding to this being the cause of the oncoming zombie outbreak but this was a pointless exercise as it had nothing to do with it. Also the dialogue kept being intertwined between English and Mandarin for no reason at all. Conversations would take place where both languages were mashed together when they were all obviously native Asians and there was no need to speak dual languages in the same conversation. Why was there a car half way up a high-rise and why did they drive it along a corridor and nose dive it off the building? These were all just plain daft scenarios that should never have been put into the movie. The second part of the movie was kind of tacked on and didn't flow at all. It's almost as if the director just ran too short on the first half so padded it out with this bullsh*t section. I hardly think a timid school teacher from the first part of the film would be a gangland boss in the second half. This was a totally preposterous idea and just spoilt the movie. I just think the director wanted to cram too many ideas into the movie or wanted to make many movies but only had a budget for one. Either way it didn't work and what could have been a perfectly adequate zombie-fest in a block of flats turned out to be a confused, illogical and shabby mish-mash.
