Ordeal by zombie

Critic Rating
Reader Rating 0

It's the end of the world. The experimental T-virus, concocted by the wicked Umbrella Corporation, has been unleashed on the world, transforming the population into shambling zombies with a taste for flesh.

Haven't we seen this somewhere before? Yes, we have, and rather better done.

In this third episode of the franchise, a group of lucky survivors, including Milla Jovovich and Mike Epps, take to the road in an armoured convoy.

But the undead are after them, and you know something ghastly will happen.

Russell Mulcahy of Highlander fame ensures that production values are strong even if logic is weak and the script sounds like it was written on the back of an envelope. Lots of fast cutting confuses. But do we care?

Cert: 15
