I have just finished watching a great new movie I bought
from Tescos this week- I thought I would share it with you guys.
The film is Osombie, and it’s a straight to DVD Zombie movie (my favourite sort
of zombie move!). The plot follows a team of Special Ops as they attempt to
contain a zombie outbreak in Afganistan. Bin Laden is not dead, at least not
properly; as he infected himself with the zombie virus just before he was
killed by the navy SEALs, and is now back from his watery grave. Meanwhile the Taliban
are using the zombie contagion to create an army of infected terrorist- the
suicide bomber that can kill over and over again!
I bought this movie thinking it was a comedy- it certainly
looks it from the cover, but it turns out it is quite serious- a little tongue
in cheek perhaps, as most zombie movies are. It’s a good movie, and I really
enjoyed it. It’s well plotted, with fairly good acting and script. The special
effects are not bad, for a strait to DVD movie, and the zombie make-up is quite
gruesome. OK, so it might not bring anything stunningly original to the genre, but its a cracking way to spend a couple of hours. And it was only £7 in Tescos.
The best bit, as far as I am concerned was Danielle Chuchran as
‘Tomboy’, one of the Special Forces soldiers. I have never seen her in any
other films, and she is very nice indeed! A little bit too much mascara for a
Special Ops solder operating behind enemy lines perhaps, but I am not complaining.

Osombie gave me plenty of inspiration for wargaming- Special ops vs. Zombies- you know it makes sence. All I need now is a company making 28mm Taliban zombies. I am off to goggle it straight away.
