THE PLOT THUS FAR
Six forensic undergrads, vying for a trainee position with the FBI, embark on a scientific expedition to a remote island that was once used as illegal biological testing grounds for life-term prisoners. Now, the mutilated cadavers of these convicts have come back to life and are savagely hunting them down one by one.
WHAT WE THOUGHT
“13 Eerie” was knocked on its ass by the fact that these zombies were able to run, even with their advanced decomposition. I am not particularly a fan of fast and agile zombies, but this here was just a bit too stupid. And to make matters worse, then the zombies were making these growling sounds that would put even the biggest and ferocious of lions to shame. It was so bad. Zombies should not, and I repeat not, be making such noises, it just becomes a spoof and a comedy on itself.
I thought that the film would have been made better if we knew more of the background to the whole how the undead came to be, instead we have a rushed conversation at the end of the film. It didn’t stop me form enjoying it as a whole but it felt like it was missing something maybe more of a sinister backdrop to the storyline in places but that is just me. I would say give the film a go its better than some zombie movies out there.
The DVD comes with featurettes, photo gallery and the commentary as the special features. The A/V Quality is strong with a supportive transfer and a Dolby audio track. The Dolby track doesn’t get much back channel action outside of the few major jump scenes. In the end, I’d recommend a rental to the non-discriminating horror fans out there.
