Zombies in the CIA Well, not really zombies; but it has the structure of a classic Zombie movie. Less gore, more suspense, action, and twists though. The actors do good work with what they're given; the sets are as they need to be, lighting etc. solid; a bit room for improvement on direction, cut, and sound. Hard to continue without spoilers. So all I'm going to say is: whoever designed this facility deserves to be locked up in it. This is such a shitty, dangerously incompetent design...
