If you are into low budget horror films will the company you need to check out is Cleopatra Entertainment. As it is coming Halloween season at the time of this review, Cleopatra Entertainment has two releases for you to enjoy. The first on was "Fear Cabin: The Last Weekend of the Summer".
Now it is time for another horror release. And when you think about Halloween and horror movies it doesn't get much better than zombies. So just in time for your Halloween party comes this new release on DVD is Mirror Life: Modern Zombies!
Synopsis: Shortly after, Tracy Kovalsky discovers that her cousin Jordan has gone missing after enrolling in an illegal study at a research facility for a miracle drug called Dumitor. Following an outbreak at the testing facility, Jordan and other patients are forced into lock-down. A life-and-death struggle for survival ensues as the patients are systematically hunted down while Tracy's search for her cousin exposes the conspiracy to cover up the entire experiment - by any means necessary.
When you think about the zombie movie it has been done to death (pun Intended)! Just think about all the Walking Dead shows. George A. Romero's original films and remakes. We've seen funny zombies, Nazi zombies, Italian and Asian Zombie movies, and even a zombie movie for kids. It can be a bit much!
So, going into this film I wasn't sure what to feel. Realize the film is low budget so you are not seeing big name Hollywood stars here! Though some in the film will be familiar faces. Courtney Cavanagh (George and Tammy), Kazy Tauginas (Equalizer 2), and Victor Verhaeghe (Dare Devil: Born Again). Still using a cast that is not super well known works to give this film a more real feel to it!
This film is not a Romero or a Fulchi zombie film. This tries to be that kind of feel, but with budget restraints doesn't quite hit the mark. But let's be honest for a Halloween party you may want a low budget release to enjoy with a bunch a friends. This will fit the bill!
Mirror Life: Modern Zombies has been transferred to DVD in widescreen format. The audio track is an English Dolby Digital track and there is English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing. The film's transfer is crisp and clean with no digital artifacts or audio anomalies! Now in addition there is some nice bonus features added on this disc.
* Director's Audio Commentary
* Trailer
* Slideshow
* Deleted Scenes
* Outtakes
One of my favorite kind of bonus feature is the outtakes and gag reels. I enjoy seeing the flubs and the crazy behind the scenes antics. So, this is a wonderful bonus feature to be added on this DVD. Also, the insight into the making of this film with the commentary is always a bonus.
So, if you are looking for a new zombie film and don't mind the low budget horror and even you revel in it. By all means pick up a copy of Mirror Life: Modern Zombies on DVD. The disc is region free. Head over to MVD Shop or Amazon and pick up your copy today!
