Matti Krolzig

Zombie '90: Extreme Pestilence is a wild ride from start to finish—seriously, if you think you’ve seen it all with zombie flicks, think again. The movie drops you right into a German town in the middle of a full-on undead outbreak, and honestly, it’s the kind of chaos you can’t help but watch. Matti Krolzig takes on one of the doctor roles, and the story follows him and a buddy as they scramble to survive and figure out what the hell happened. It’s all guts, gore, and that classic low-budget charm—like, you can almost smell the latex and fake blood dripping off the screen. The plot doesn’t waste time with subtlety: there’s a mysterious chemical leak, a bunch of corpses suddenly get hungry, and within minutes, people are running for their lives as zombies chew their way through the neighborhood. The dialogue? So bad it’s good, especially if you catch the dubbed version with its gloriously awkward English lines. But that just adds to the fun. Krolzig’s character tries to keep his wits about him, but honestly, it’s a losing battle against the relentless swarm. There’s plenty of slapstick moments and weird humor wedged right between the carnage, so it never takes itself too seriously. By the time the credits roll, it’s a bloody mess in the best possible way—a cult classic for fans of over-the-top zombie insanity. If you’re into splatter, you’ll probably love every ridiculous minute.
