Flesh-eating zombies of the type made popular by George Romero have become such common coin in movies, television, video games and comics that it's now a "given" that Something Went Wrong Somewhere and we're up to our necks in ghouls. The basic premise itself is rarely fully expounded any more. ("Go back and watch the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD," most of these newcomers would seem to suggest: "I ain't got the time- or the imagination- to clue you in on what's happening. Do I look like a ****in' scientist to you?") At barely over an hour, it's hard to think of BERLIN UNDEAD as a feature film; had the film makers taken the time to fill us in on what's happening and to build up to the inevitable siege, it would've both brought the movie to feature length and answered a question or two. As it stands, it's a good short that's just a bit too short.
