Actually Quite Watchable —
Mister Uwe Boll isn’t always known for making great movies, but they are generally watchable. Boll has only produced Apocalypse Z (Originally titled Zombie Massacre) but you can clearly see he’s had more than a little hand in its making. His touches are everywhere but not in an obtrusive, or even bad way. Uwe Boll’s last movie was the decent Assault on Wall Street, but this $1.3 million indie is one of the better examples of this genre, as it mixes action with great looking Zombies. If you take into account the fact that it’s a straight to disc, low budget horror, you have to accept that Apocalypse Z is a bit better than most films of this fare. It isn’t a film I would gleefully add to my Bluray collection but it is a film you can enjoy at home with the lights out.
