Precociously inventive horror pic that combines brain-eating zombies with outer space aliens.

However visually striking, this Australian film is ultimately as tedious as it is derivative.

A campy, low-budget Romero homage that's badly in need of editing.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
There's nothing under the goofball gags and gushing gore, and its welcome is worn out well before it's over.

Watching it is a smidgen like listening to the same monkey-walks-into-a-bar joke for the 105th time, but for the Spierig brothers, it is clearly a demonstration of fast-cheap capabilities and a one-way ticket straight out of Queensland.

On the level of a no-budget student film in which the shots barely match up into sequences. It's about as much fun as watching blood dry.
