Review of Osombie

Osombie (2012)
3/10
the CGI teared this down into oblivion
23 September 2012
One of the hypes on youtube for the trailer only. I was looking forward to see it because I liked the story about Osama coming back as a zombie. But I have seen thousands of flicks from the early eighties until now and I must say that I just couldn't care about it. It's weird that it even has given so many positive reviews and that people really liked it. But for me it was just shooting with really bad CGI effects towards Taliban zombies coming out from everywhere. They looked okay but even there, once they are being shot it is always the same CGI effect.

Maybe it is again people coming from the states who liked this flick because their country was being hit by Al Quida and even afterwards they came across the Taliban. So maybe they liked it because they could laugh with Osama again.

People do defend it by saying that it was a low budget flick and I admit, you can easily spot it due the CGI. Here and there it is okay but overall it bored me a lot. And again, it bored me due the , sigh, CGI.

This could have been indeed the zombie hit of the year but for me it failed completely. No gore at all, there is indeed red stuff but not to mention and when people are being taken in close up after been bitten by the Taliban you only see blood running. Sorry mates, maybe it must be me getting old but give me a cheap flick from the seventies I will dig it but Osombie, the overall look was worse, it did look like a really bad SyFy flick or ne of The Asylum, do I need to say more?

Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
