STATE OF EMERGENCY (2010) – ZOMBIE/HORROR Movie Review

Geno

By Chris Summerfield

The movie is supposed based in Montgomery County and is surprisingly an interesting movie, so okay there isn’t a great deal of gore within this film for a zombie movie and the zombies we find are the sort that are fast paced, as we seem to have two types of zombies in the movie world now.

As for the movie Jim (Jay Hayden) as his dying girlfriend, Emilie (McKenna Jones) in his arms, he is racing across a field towards a farm that he soon discovers is deserted, having fled the town where it seems chaos as taken over in the form of zombies… With his girlfriend now dead, he roams around the building discovering a television, as regards the broadcast upon the set, a news reporter states Montgomery County is under Military law as a shutdown is under way. He then wonders around again, hearing in the distance the sound of firing, as a war zone as erupted in a nearby town. He manages to find a rifle and soon as to use it to defend himself against a ravishing, fast running zombie with beaming red eyes…

A breathe or two later the phone rings, the caller being some guy who is in the warehouse just down the hill, he asks Jim to join the party of three, Jim decides to join them…

Scott (Scott Lilly) is with his wife Julie (Kathryn Todd Norman) and a lady by the name IX (Tori White) they are the three hiding out down there, just hoping to survive until the crisis pasts…

The movie then becomes a little reflective as the characters have flashbacks to what has happened, trying to make sense of what went down and also there are moments when their life’s are put at risk, one particular moment being when the young IX who suffers from diabetes, suddenly as an diabetes attack and it seems is slipping in to a coma. Jim has to make a risky trip to get medication for her where helicopters had been making drop offs…
And what really surprises me about this movie is the ending, in which is very unusual for modern horror movies…

It’s worth a watch.

Rating: 7/10

By Geno McGahee This film was released in 2008, but it looks like it’s a direct to video 1980’s release. NO PLACE LIKE HOME has the same look as VIDEO VIOLENCE, and that’s a good thing! I immediately was drawn to this film and found some joy in the mere […]
