Automaton Transfusion (2006) - Review

Automaton Transfusion (2006). Starring Garret Jones, Juliet London and William Howard Bowman.

One star.

Orignally published on Monday, October 6, 2014.

Right off the heels of the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake, we get this movie. It's shot on DVC and edited with something less than Sony Vegas. And it has that slowed frame rate effect, which is aggravating as all putout.

The movie begins in a morgue and the next thing you know, orderlies are getting their limbs chewed off. Yes, this has the 28 Days Later / Dawn '04 running zombies.

After the credits, we're then treated to a bunch of high school drama crap between some jocks and a group of outcasts. The latter ends up being the heros of this movie. The shit hits the fan when zombies ravage the homecoming party. From there, it's your typical direct-to-video zombie flick. This thing is in the bowels of Hades with Children of the Living Dead. I watched this movie because of its reputation when it was released seven or eight years ago. The only thing it really has going for it is the practical effects.

Oh yeah, we're treated briefly to this scene where the heroes run into some random exposition Army guy. He explains that the virus came from a Vietnam era military experiment. When the movie ends, it says, "To be continued . . ." I don't like it when bad horror films threaten me.< One star.
