An enthusiastically splattery, low-budget comedy gore-fest from Argentina, Zombie Plague Mutant Zone sees three survivors of a zombie outbreak (caused by an alien virus) intercepted by the authorities and thrown straight back into the now quarantined town. The trio, an ex pro-wrestler named John West (Pablo Parés), medical student Bill (Pablo Parés), and a nerd called Max (Hernán Sáez), fend off the undead whilst trying to figure out a way to escape their predicament.

With a visual style very reminiscent of Peter Jackson's early horror classics, this ultra-bloody slice of cartoon-style splat-stick starts off very promisingly, featuring plenty of silly laughs and loads of cheap 'n' cheerful make-up and gore. Unfortunately, it soon becomes evident that silly laughs and loads of cheap 'n' cheerful make-up and gore is all the film does have to offer, and proceedings eventually become rather tiresome. There is zero plot development and the directors (stars Parés and Sáez) obviously don't know when to call it a day (even after the end credits have started rolling, they feel the need to throw in an unnecessary epilogue).

Still, if you don't mind the repetitiveness of the action (fight scene, followed by silly zombies, followed by fight scene, followed by silly zombies, followed by fight scene), there are definitely enough good moments to make staying for the duration worthwhile: an early three stooges style gag with a severed arm; a revolting bit in which a zombie clutches his lower bowel and releases a stream of feces into the hero's face; a kung fu fight using a torn, bloody appendage as a weapon; a climactic battle which includes some terrific and very inventive effects; and an enjoyably daft musical interlude (featuring the catchy John West theme tune).

If only the makers had added a bit more meat to the story, and shaved a little bit off the running time, then this one would've got a 7 out of 10 from me. As it stands, it gets a 6.

I found this movie to be very funny and the gore was outstanding. A couple things I didn't enjoy so much was that the zombies make-up effects were a bit too fake and my copy has no subtitles! Mine is the Fangoria International release and claims to have subtitles, but due to some manufacturing flaw, there are none. Of course, this is no fault of the actual movie, just the company...However the fact that I still found the dialog's hilarious and had no idea what they were saying speaks in waves about the actors performances. The John West theme song still sticks in my head and I laugh every time I think about it. I recommend this movie to any fans of early Peter Jackson films like Braindead and Bad Taste, and also to zombie fans in general. Just make sure your copy has subtitles if you don't understand the language, of course. This is a massive step up from the original Plaga Zombie.

Now we are talking of a great B class movie. This guys really have what they need. The acting, in charge of the same who wrote and directed the movie, is unique. The FX are one of a kind for the cash used, the script is attractive at the same time that is very very funny and the cameras, WOW, it is obvius that there is talent in this movie!!! The only problem with this film, is that when it comes to the end, you want even more. We´ll have to wait for a sequel, and I hope to be in it someway or another!
