Receptionedit
Tom Huddleston of Time Out London rated it 1/5 stars and called it a clichéd and "laughably inept DIY horror movie".[8] Jamie Russell of Total Film rated it 2/5 stars and wrote, "Zombie Undead is another no-budget, no-brains outing to treat the walking dead as an excuse for a lack of writing ability."[9] Mark L. Miller of Ain't It Cool News called it "a breath of fresh air" but it was sloppy and poorly acted.[10] Jeremy Blitz of DVD Talk rated it 2/5 stars and wrote, "Unfortunately, the producers of British indie Zombie Undead present little new material, though they do show a few flashes of near brilliance."[11]Peter Dendle called it a boring zombie film that was made for marketing purposes.[12]
