Ulli Lommel makes a zombie film this time around, and manages
to do more damage to the genre than anyone before him. And what Ulli's
dug up this time involves a serial killing cop who's got a thing for
the young ladies. It's especially useful that his old army buddies
down at the precinct are always so willing to cover for him! Just as
our killer cop thinks he's in serial killer heaven, he lands what will
prove to be his last victim.
You may be wondering--I know I was--what if anything this has to do with zombies. After all, in a movie called "Zombie Nation", with what is clearly a zombie on the cover, you're expecting a whole monster assload of walking dead. But since Ulli Lommel, who is rapidly becoming direct-to-video's biggest disappointment (for reference, go get a copy of BLACK DAHLIA, or one of 2006's contenders for "Biggest Lack of Taste", THE BTK KILLER), can't actually seem to make anything make much sense, there will be an astonishing lack of zombies in the Zombie Nation. In fact, there will be all of a half dozen, and it's going to take over half of the movie to even see one.
First, wonder of wonders, the title crawl. Most times, you expect
a quick shot of the title, or maybe a little animation to with it.
Maybe the letters are built out of slashes just for jollies, okay. But
in this case, the letters are actually so big, they won't fit on one
screen. Rather, we get a series of four, and if we took the title
crawl literally, the movie's real title is "Ulli Lommel's Zom Bie Na
Tion."
Being that it's an Ulli Lommel movie, we're not going to get
through this miserable wreckage without torture aplenty. I don't know
what kind of issues this man has, but his body of work is so utterly
laden with pointless torture sequences. It's almost painful to watch
this stuff. Oh, and speaking of painful--for some reason, Ulli himself
is actually in this movie, playing the role of "Dr. Melnitz". He
almost manages to say absolutely nothing but the same line, "Is it
safe?", for his entire appearance. He does manage to break out,
"Childhood memories" and "Paranoiac infantilism. We will meet twice a
week." to mix it up a bit, but still, it's pretty sad.
The ending is a mishmash of speedy torture, a last-minute plot
element that's never resolved and actually manages to leave the door
open for a sequel to this godawful waste of time.
The special features include English and Spanish subtitles, a
commentary track, closed captioning, and trailers for ZOMBIE NATION,
THE DESCENT, HOUSE OF BLOOD, DARK HARVEST 3: SCARECROW, A DEAD CALLING,
and THE KUMITE. All in all, Ulli Lommel, you're on notice--another movie like this
tripe and you're going to surpass Joe Castro on my list of crimes
against filmgoers.
RATING: * (out of four)

I love the horror vampire kill like some one cut it with sharp folding knife, pocket knife, or use great hunting knives to fines the job!But what they do suck your blood out and make you die or change you! Vampire and Zombie War!

Growth and alter will be the law of all life. Yesterday's solutions are inadequate for today's issues --just since the options of those times will not fill the needs of
tomorrow.

As fruit desires not just sunshine but chilly nights and chilling showers to ripen it so character desires not just joy but trial and problems to mellow it.

The beauty of life, always being ahead of her show; like the beauty of trees, is to show a negative trend in its vigor in the towering up; like the eagle's beautiful, is to show the wind blow the rain in it, such as stroke flying in the heaven of the soul; like the beautiful rivers, is displayed in the torrent that it blew out in the rough.
