This low-budget homage to the zombie genre borrows heavily from superior predecessors and revels in a pile of its own campiness -- neither original nor watchable enough to entertain.

Movie Info
When deadly meteorites start striking the calm, peaceful community of Berkeley, Australia, a ragtag group of strangers fight for their lives against a hoard of red-blooded zombies that have mysteriously infected the residents. Headed by the town's ex-beauty queen Rene (Felicity Mason) and the village kook, Marion (Mungo McKay), the clan of survivors battle their way through farmhouses, bomb shelters, and back roads until they are faced with a much bigger problem than just the gut-munchers on

No amount of Zombie Rules can explain a movie like this, or the recent filmmaker fascination with a creaky old genre.
I'm definitely zombied out.
A low-budget, mildly enjoyable oddity.
Rigor mortis has set in.
The film's genre-merging cleverness works against it, and releasing it in the wake of George Romero's zombie knockout Land of the Dead invites comparisons that may be unfair but inevitable.
There are about 2,000 hard-core Fangoria readers in the Bay Area who are going to absolutely love this film. But the 6,698,000 other residents will find it at best a little boring and at worst stomach-churningly offensive.
In fits and starts it's faintly cool, though the tone is all over the place.
An amusingly outrageous Australian variation on the familiar zombie theme, played mostly for laughs.
Undead isn't a joke - it's a punchline. Where's the setup?
Zombies galore, buckets of blood, and a non-stop action flick with quirky characters.
Unlikely to satisfy horror fans...but the Spierigs might have a future in this genre if they put more effort and imagination into their scripts.
Everything a zombie film fan could want is here in spades. And shovels. And clubs.
...we need more quality zombie films like this to show Hollywood how it should be done.
If the undead in this movie weren't so physically hideous, they'd be perfect for next year's season of "The Apprentice."
Une comédie d'horreur faite de peu de moyens et sans prétention, mais de manière un peu fade vu le scénario grandiloquent que le duo tente de nous faire gober.
...it seems obvious that the Spierigs are destined to go on to bigger and better things.
A comedic horror sci-fi mixture that manages to be sly, stupid, obvious, and creative -- often all at the same time.
There's barely a brainwave in Undead.

- Marion: One day you're out on your boat and you get attacked by zombie fish, they munch at your face, like you're the main course at an all you can eat crazy country boy buffet. You walk away, tell the town your story; they think you're mad. Everyone thinks you're mad, you think I'm mad. It happens again, this time it's not zombie fish it's zombie Berkeley. But this time I'm prepared, I'm ready to fight whatever they can throw at me. Still I wasn't strong enough, the strongest ones are always the last ones left; if that's not me, it must be you. If that was the case you wouldn't have battled the undead and lived. You'd be the entree at a smorgasboard of brainfood.
-
- Marion: Time is short. So you gotta ask yourself: Are you a fighter, Fish Queen, or are you zombie food?
-
- Harrison: I'll fuckin' finish you off faster than a fuckin' birthday cake at a fat chick's fuckin' birthday party!
-
- Harrison: When I was a kid, we fuckin' respected our parents, we didn't fuckin' eat 'em!
