*Delete nothing substantial found during search to support notability. Donaldd23 (talk) 13:04, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per the reliable book sources now in the article as has reviews in multiple reliable sources such as Little White Lies, Cinefantastique, DVD Talk and Horror News as linked here, and here. Some of the other reviews listed at those links may also be reliable but am not familiar with them, but overall it passes WP:GNG struck as the internet reviews are for different film as Adamant explains below, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 20:43, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete since this seems to lack multiple in-depth reviews about it. Unfortunately, the supposed reviews that Atlantic306 linked to seem to be about another movie, Zombie Lake. Which isn't this one. For some reason they are linked to in the article also. Which is weird, but whatever. Perhaps this film is a remake of that one or something. Who knows. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:15, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The article uses three published books: The Zombie Film: from White Zombie to World War Z, Book of the Dead: The Complete History of Zombie Cinema and Encyclopedia of the Zombie: The Walking Dead in Popular Culture and Myth. This is three independent sources of film criticism, writing about the movie. Nobody has challenged the reliability of these sources. I believe that this demonstrates notability. — Toughpigs (talk) 15:08, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It's mentioned in several books (one of which is a fairly extensive writeup in an academic press) and while the company is now defunct, it received a review from Scott Weinberg from FEARnet. The site doesn't exist any longer, but RT has preserved at least a snippet of the review. FEARnet was/is considered to be a reliable source for reviews as they definitely had editorial oversight and Weinberg was never shy at expressing criticism when it was due. It's kind of like Tor.com in how it reviewed things. (RIP FEARnet) In any case, there's enough to establish notability for this movie.
