It's been 5 years since the outbreak that wiped out 85% of the world's population, but the war between Re-Animates (Re-Ans) and Humans wages on. Most of the major cities are still uninhabitable. Within the few surviving cities, the Re-Ans have been segregated into "zones" and are policed by the R-Division of the QUASI S.W.A.T. Unit who hunt to re-kill the Re-Ans in the hope of quelling a second outbreak.

...instead, it was unremarkable. The overall story of RD8 would have been entertaining, gory, and frightening had the writer/director made a choice about the type of film he wanted to make. Documentary/mockumentary, found footage, or just a good old fashioned third person POV. Instead we find ourselves watching a COPS style show that tries to shoehorn in as much global back story in between commercial breaks advertising smoking, sex, and narcotics...none of which plays any vital role in the overall story.

Everything a zombie movie should be. Even though it is from the point of view of the journalist, it is not entirely by "hand camera" like Cloverfield or diary of the dead. Right mix of action and character development and plot.

Wasn't bad for a B movie type. It had some good action, storyline was soild. Needed a few well known actors.
