The Worst Film Ever
Fantastic!
Dreadfully Boring
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
A well written movie with well acted characters It is not as fast paced as the walking dead. But still worth Watching with heart racing moment anti climatic turn and jump scares That are just perfectly timed so it doesn't give u a heart attack but does take you by surprise, whether your a frequent Zombie movie watcher or new it's an even thriller without too much blood a perfect starter. But the down side are a slow start but speeds up and very few zombies and no big hordes and a few loose ends. It's all in all a good movie. I suggest it for anyone who can enjoy a thriller But I would not suggest for anyone under 10. Remember I'm officially stating this movie does have jump scares
This movie starts off like so many other zombie movies. Which made me fall into a unhappy funk. Then the movie shows some real heart by showing the survivors as real people not just stereotypes. This is the part I found so appealing. The Main characters are flushed out. You see them as people you may know in real life. Know actors that I can say I recognized. The movie unfortunately has a major issue about feeling small. The movie towards the end definitely has a small budget feel . The climax was very anti climatic in feel. This was the one thing I didn't particularly care for. Not a lot of twist really but a solid story and good acting. Worth a watch.
I Netflixed this one last night just as a quick "go to bed" movie since Im such a sucker for cheesy zombie films. That being said, Ill have to give kudos to the movie. It felt very 28 Days Later-ish. It had some really good and suspenseful, sometimes very dark scenes at the beginning which pulled me right in and surprisingly held my attention the whole way through. The acting by some of the characters is not necessarily top notch, but Jim in the movie really makes up for it. I thought the plot was well done for this genre - I mean how unique does a good zombie movie need to be? The cinematography was really good for a lower budget film I thought, even for a movie with limited sets - it still had me all the way through.Clean-cut zombie fun! I give it 7 stars.
This movie is basically what I would think normal people would do in the event of a zombie apocalypse. Which is really just stay inside, barricade yourself, and wait for rescue. The movie sorta centers on daily living of four people. It isn't very action centered. Just them waiting and such. So if you're wanting a massive zombie, action, horror, this probably isn't the movie for you. In my opinion the main character I found a bit slow. Mostly because he had long pauses before he would speak. It doesn't really matter but the fact stuck with me. It was even more apparent the longer the movie went. Overall I didn't love this movie but I didn't hate it either. It was just okay. Probably similar to what I would do in their situation. Which is why it wasn't amazing. Do to lack of action. But it was good considering. As long as you didn't come for a ton of action it's a fine film.
