State of Emergency (2010)

UK DVD Box Front

This is an odd one this (It's pretty good tbh) but theirs a lot of stupid aspects over its release dates.  imbd says it was made in 2010, and that it was released in 2011, the back of the box says 2010, yet the front says "The Best Zombie Film of 2012"  I guess the distributors had a field day with more box art that makes zero sense lmfao.

This movie is based in Montgomery Ohio USA and centers around the concept of a chemical plant outside town. One of the storage tank's cooling units goes off line causing an explosion, which in turn that sends a cloud of deadly smoke into the air. Traveling in that smoke is an unstable Biological Weapon that was deemed to unstable for use and stored in the tank for a future date where it would come in useful. The army sure does love its weapons grade chaos...

A young guy had plans to propose to his girlfriend (a local nurse) on their anniversary of being together for 2 years, but then everything starts to go down hill from their. She ends up injured and he ends up taking her to a near by stable where he locks up and waits in hope's that help will come soon.

 Managing to get a Tv Signal he watches as the news desk reporter clearly looses it when her colleague out on location stops transmitting audio and video back to the studio.

But before the loss in transmission,  it's clear the army are on site and he hopes it wont be long before help arrives.

With no real idea whats going on and nightfall here, he has a look outside but forgets to lock the gate when he comes back in. hes later woken by a noise and gos to investigate, finding the gate unlocked, he locks it... locking him self inside, and locking what ever made that noise inside with him...

These things seam so slow at times, so distant to what their purpose is, then suddenly in the blink of an eye they run, ravage and destroy...
They seam similar to the zombie style in "28 Days Later" and share that same crazed red eyed expression and hunger for flesh rather than specifically for brains...

The funny thing is that Zombies don't specifically eat brains, as always said in Romero's movies "they eat the flesh of the living" and it was only in the "Parody Based" Return of The Living Dead that zombies specifically wanted to eat your brain.

Dad makes a meal out of mum..

External communications are severed during the quarantine, yet the towns internal communications seam to work. He receives a call from a place just over the way (they saw his lights on and ring up the number on the town register for the stables)

They Invite him over to their place...

So over he heads to their place...

Its an unusual movie this, as one of the zombies speaks, as though they semi remember some things. Their are a lot of varied moments in the movie that seam to lack any explanation and leave you with a million questions, and one can but only hope some form of Directors Cut is released in the future...
