Evil - In the Time of Heroes (2009)

Truly Dreadful Film

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Picking up where the first film left off, the survivors are now on a race against time to defeat the evil that has trapped Athens before international forces drop the bomb that will destroy them all...The first film probably should have ended where it did without this follow-up. While I appreciate the attempt to explain the evil's origin, the introduction of the world outside Greece... and the presence of Billy Zane (who either speaks Greek or has a person who does voiceovers with his tone perfectly), it just cannot compare to the first film.The effects are cheaper, the plot is thinner (which is a bold claim for a zombie film)... and overall it was just not as fun. The increased supernatural elements were a big turn-off. I liked the introduction of militant groups that take advantage of the chaos, but they did not have time to be developed and I have no idea what their motives or anything were. Perhaps they had none? Worth watching? Not so much, but maybe if you really need to see who survived the first film and how...

Ι have seen tons of Zombie flicks, big budget, low budget, no budget at all etc."To Kako 2" is by far one of the most annoying movies of the genre. I understand that the second movie moved fast forward to a straight up comedy (the first one had balance and it was really really entertaining) but instead of being funny, its just plain annoying. As for the plot is a total mess. The whole go to past and come back to the present is done in a way to get to your nerves. Bottom line the whole script is like a cut and paste of various ideas thrown around and not single one of them is presented like it should. Too bad that the people responsible for the good first movie (Kako) managed to killed their own creation with the second one. The only good thing in this movie is only the gore factor. But gore cant save a z-film if the story who keeps it interesting belongs to the bottom of the toilet.Too bad that one of the most annoying z-movies ever made comes from Greece.I wonder how the Greek Cinema Centre (belongs to the state) and Audiovisual (major distributor company in Greece) decided to finance this total mess.

Since it's the very second zombie film in Greece and it is better than the first, it makes it the best Greek zombie movie! LOL!Seriously now, although the script may seem far fetched at occasions, the characters are all fun, the humor is typical Greek (thus it may not be appreciated by foreign audiences)and there are some great scenes and ideas. It's a splatter movie, so be prepared for many gory/funny scenes. The best part for me was they included ancient Athens. It's one of the few movies that you can hear ancient Greek on the cinema and you can admire the Acropolis on its early days.If you have watched the first movie, keep in mind its budget was 10.000 euro and the second one's is 100.000 euro.

This is by far one of the worst movies i have ever seen. The plot is virtually non-existent. I don't know what the producers were thinking about this movie. Zombies in modern and ancient Athens??Billy Zane playing a WoWish rogue-alike prophet??It looked like a cheap comedy version of "dawn of the dead" combined with "300" with the stupidest scenario ever.Characters are weak, lead acting sucks and the visual effects are not nearly as "hollywoodish" as the producers would like them to be. The only scene to laugh is the Tsimitselis scene and two or more others in the whole movie. Bottom line, i wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Complete waste of money!
