This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Beautiful, moving film.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I saw this in 2008 on a DVD. I was browsing the dvds n i came across this. Read some very positive reviews on the DVD cover. Even the poster looked cool of the guy with an axe. Hav learnt a lesson. Never believe the reviews on the DVD cover. The biggest mistake i did was that i jus picked this DVD without checking on IMDb. There is no horror, no gore, awful direction, awful acting, awful editing, awful cinematography n awful music. There is nothing redeeming about this trash. There was no zombie action, jus a guy running..... that too in a fake forest. Was it a field or park? The helicopter man. What can i say! It was a toy helicopter made to fly n then shot as a video. Awful n atrocious. This is a perfect example of a low budget trash.

Once you read the other comments on this film you quickly figure out that people seem to either love or hate this movie. Which I believe would probably classify this movie as a success in the directors eyes with that alone.First this is not really a zombie movie (or infected for the purists) in the normal sense of the genre (they are only a minor part of the story) so if that's what you're looking for you may want to keep looking.This was a refreshingly new and fairly unique storyline for a movie within the zombie/infected genre. Typically a movie in this category can only keep your interest with gore or suspense, however with this film it was the story itself that keeps you watching.If you're hoping for a big budget 28 Days/weeks later, or George Romero type of movie with tonnes of Gore and a refined script.... then you may want to re-watch those.But if you enjoy a low budget movie with a decent script where all people involved with the project genuinely tried their best to make it work I would definitely recommend this.

In the course of a year I watch app. 600-700 movies - and compared to most movies "The Vanguard" sucks big time. I really struggled to find a reason for why this movie was even made. I really wish all movie directors would spend more time thinking about what they want to say with their movies - instead of just collecting 90 minutes of worthless film and call it a movie.There's no plot - and the settings/scenery are unconvincing and the actors should really consider a career change, maybe somewhere in the fastfood or cleaning business - as they have no talent for anything, as this foul crap of a movie clearly shows.

~Spoiler~The Vanguard trailer looked fantastic. It painted a picture of a world overrun by zombies and one man surviving by wielding duel axes and just being a bada$$ in general. The Vanguard the movie does not deliver. It is absolutely a boring mess where NOTHING happens. Not even in the climax does anything happen. I can't even come up with one worthwhile thing to say about it. It has no plot, no action, and only a handful of zombies. What it does have is people walking through the woods. That's it. I urge viewers to not bother wasting your time with this film. It's dreadful.
