13 Eerie (2013)

This film is decidedly average. It has all the usual horror clichés. A group of kids in a remote area (in this case an island), some ridiculous decision making (I think there's something dangerous out there so I'll wander through the woods shouting "hello"), and various other stupid decisions, people who think they have escaped the zombies only to turn around and be eaten by one. A bus that for some reason doesn't start, then does, then doesn't. A gun that runs out of bullets just at the wrong time....and so the list goes on.The zombies were interesting, not your Walking Dead shufflers but some of them would give Usain Bolt a good workout. While that may not be your traditional zombie, and probably totally unrealistic, it made them more scary for me. I've often thought the answer to most zombie movies should be just to run away.I've seen some slating on these reviews about the affects but personally I thought they were quite effective, reminded me a little bit of the Orcs in Lord of the Rings, although not so well finished.Overall, 5 out of 10, C+, shows promise but could do better.

Loved it!! The mutants, or zombies(whatever I don't care) are totally credible-The story isn't that bad at all and the cast is fine! I'm a fan of Jesse Moss, Katie and Fletcher. If you are looking for a fun, entertaining zombie flick, I don't quite get why so many haters(???). This is a low budget Canadian film and the special effects and zombies were better than many Hollywood zombie movies. The music fits perfectly with the dark atmosphere of the film and I had fun watching it! This isn't the best horror film you have seen, yes couple of flaws, but who cares??? I've seen it a couple of times already since it's release and I still enjoy it!

Arriving at a remote campsite for a class project, forensics students learn the area was a ground for dumping toxic waste years ago when the patients of a prison experiment found there revive and vicious attack them, forcing them to get out alive.This turned out to be quite an enjoyable and entertaining zombie effort with a lot to like about it. One of the better features is the zombies themselves, which starts off nicely with their introduction as another supposed part of their field trip only for a nasty surprise to await them, also manages to work rather well with them within the film itself. Deformed beyond belief with some rather nasty looking wounds, exposed veins, charred skin and a decomposed look that comes off really well and is truly frightening at times, especially with the way their actions are involved. Managing to incorporate the more ravenous side of their behavior makes for a rather imposing villain here as they relentlessly charge after their victims and don't seem interested in anything other than devouring their prey which makes them formidable enemies in here. As well, this provides the film with plenty of fantastic gore scenes throughout as they initially strike against the group before getting the tables turned, so there's plenty to like from the first attacks out on the lake or in the tangled, twisting cluster of tree-branches that really signals where the film hits its stride in terms of attacks. Surprisingly, this also affords the movie numerous amounts of high-end action scenes as the sleeping shack encounter, command-center ambush and the extended, thrilling high-way escape on the prison bus are all extremely fun and exciting action sequences that are just immensely entertaining and pack more of a punch than expected considering the low-budget that rears it's head from time-to-time. There's a quality running throughout this that really does betray the low-budget roots of this that really sticks out quite noticeably on the devoured bodies that doesn't quite match the rest of the movie and somewhat gives away the film's sources. As well, the opening assignment and getting them out to the area is itself quite dull with the endless time actually setting up the procedures to be conducted rather than having been done beforehand as well as being forced to spend time with the bitter, resentful head of the project who wears thin quite early in the film. Otherwise, there's not a lot wrong with this one.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

Six forensic undergrad students agree to a competition that could land one of them in a training position with the FBI. They arrive on a remote island and are suppose to find planted bodies and collect evidence. Unfortunately for them this site was used as a biological testing ground on life-term prisoners. These burnt looking cadavers are among them and very much alive with revenge in mind. The relentless ex-inmates attack and devour a few students in gruesome fashion and they soon come back to life as the undead. What you have in this Canadian production is a semi-clever twist on the Zombie attack film. The isolation is there and the victims are made to fight for their lives. The good news is, Director Lowell Dean builds suspense well and delivers with some inspired and at times gory deaths. Katharine Isabelle is solid in the lead role and some great looking zombies deliver the goods. Fast paced and never boring, 13 Eerie will manage a few good scares and solid Zombie action and mayhem.
