In a small Australian outback township, a greedy mayor agrees to sell off some land to a Japanese conglomerate for development into a Robotman theme park (because the arsehole of nowhere is the perfect location for such an attraction!). The only problem is that the site is currently home to a memorial for those brave Aussies who died in the Vietnam war. Still, nothing that a few sticks of dynamite can't put right. But no sooner has the memorial been demolished, than hordes of undead soldiers rise from the rubble to cause havoc in the town.
Very low budget, very talky, and featuring some of the worst zombies I have ever witnessed (a bit of mud on the face and a pair of plastic fangs and we're done), Zombie Brigade really has very little going for it. The acting is just about passable, given the nature of the film, but the script is so dull, with lengthy swathes of dreary dialogue serving as exposition, that it's difficult to remain interested. A couple of novel ideas-aboriginal spirit warriors and an army of reanimated dead WWII soldiers-might have lifted matters if they had been better developed; Carmelo Musca and Barrie Pattison's lifeless direction ensures that any sparks of ingenuity are quickly extinguished.
