What did people say?

A sadistic, immoral film that is utterly contemptible and repulsive. To say this is sick cinema without any redeeming elements at all is an understatement. The beginning sequence is one of the most morally offensive ever filmed. The consumption of a living child by a zombie, dining on the innocent's stomach while the child blinks his eyes uncomprehendingly, is the definition of torture porn and possibly the sickest sort of child pornography. The exploitation of a child and depiction of the worst child murder imaginable is beyond anything ever portrayed in a so-called legitimate film. Of all the disgusting, repulsive, and sick movies made, this one is about as depraved as possible. 

1/10.

Not a good start.

Terrible 1/10

Wait, there wasn't an earthquake?
 
 this is the shakiest film ever made, and to be avoided by anyone who doesn't want to be motion sick in the first 20 min (several times)
 
 If the shaking doesn't get you, the terrible acting and effects may actually come close to destroying any love for the entire genre. I've heard that the UN is declaring this movie to be a crime against humanity.

Ok, what is the best review?

Total Romero

This is one hell of a zombie movie. It's been along time since any zombie flick that I've seen has managed to capture the spirit of those classic Romero movies. It's got the social commentary angle going for it and that traditional zombie spirit as well. Dead Genesis also manages to have one of the most graphic and gory openings to a zombie film that I've ever seen. Many have the grand epic openings, this is much more personal and disturbing.

10/10

You sir are a jackass!

Ok, lets get this bass of horses dicks done

A bunch of randoms walking around the woods aimlessly killing zombies that creep up on them is joined by a monotone, clueless reporter (sorry! I am not a reporter), I mean documentary film maker, walk aimlessly around the woods shooting zombies that creep on them. There is no mission. No grand design. No purpose. Just aimlessly walking around the woods, then stopping to talk and be filmed by the reporter (I am not a reporter!), and have zombie creep up on them. No guards. No lookouts. No radios. No map. No direction. Awful cinematography, and a group of individuals where only one of them seems ok. And only 2 can act.

Hated it.
