I decided to give it a try today after all, and I really shouldn't have. It is actually even worse than I expected, and absolutely everything looked very cheap and worthless, especially the terribly bad cast (the dialogue between them was excruciatingly bad and painful to listen to) – they were probably beaten up for some free drugs – and the special effects were so fake and bad they made me want to cry (zombies get slaughtered at less than half a meter away and nobody gets a drop of blood on them 
).
The idiotic story is obviously meant as a joke, and this film certainly succeeded in that, because practically everything was laughable, and specifically laughably bad. There is a lot of action (at least if you can call it that) in this film, but it is also laughably bad and, above all, monotonous and boring. The film lasts 90 minutes, but it is hell to watch it for the full 90 minutes. I won't deny that I regularly used the 30-second skip-forward function. If you are completely wasted, this film is still bearable, but sober or with less than a crate of beer, you'd better avoid it. What a mess this junk is

Well, too bad then. There really was more potential here in terms of bad humor. Zombies in themselves are a tad boring, so if you're going for Osama anyway, at least make it fun. Unfortunately, the film is mostly stupid (which is sometimes funny) and repetitive (much more regrettable). A missed opportunity.
1.5*.

I stayed in the hotb**rs for a little while longer, assuming I may use that term here on MovieMeter, with this zombie film called Osombie. Do I expect much from this? No, not really. In fact, this was probably one of the worst films I will see this year.
The idea itself isn't all that bad—that they enter some kind of complex beneath the house in Abbottabad where experiments are being conducted. However, the film's good points quickly end with the character Tomboy, who looks pretty good and is very skilled with a sword, and while there are a few fun zombie kills throughout the film, that is pretty much all there is to say.
An otherwise poorly developed story, no interesting characters or dialogue, the soundtrack is terrible, and what we see of the so-called Special Forces is macho, over-the-top, exaggerated, stupid behavior, and then, as professional soldiers, they let themselves be surprised multiple times in that opening scene. In short, bad, bad, and even worse.
