SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Nigel P The crashing guitars of prom-rock opens this zombie picture, ushering in some semester-related romance between two pristine teens with teeth like gleaming tombstones. To break the mood somewhat, two more teens arrive, all shorts and perfection and squeaky voiced small-talk, ripe with reversed-baseball-capped diluted attitude. As they drive off to wherever, the family-friendly rock music returns. In the car, all four are shown hollering and having, like, a really good time. It is as tedious and appalling an opening as you can imagine. Rolling up at a big house (the main location for the story), the final couple join the gang. One wears shades and drinks beer from a bottle and his girlfriend looks exactly the same as the other females. There are boastful sex jokes and mock provocation and then the rock music is back. It's way past time to hit 'eject' in the DVD, but purely because I've started this review, I decide to persevere.A suspected terrorist attack threatens to tip this bunch out of their back-slapping reverie. I still don't know what any of their names are. A CGI missile is seen to explode overhead and it is back to knuckle-punching, sports talk and everyone calling each other dude. "This whole thing has really got me thinking, you know? About, like, life." Says one gummy hunk. "That's really deep, man," says another, bromance twinkling in his eyes. "He's going to be a great guy some day," says one pearly white lass to another. And the running time rumbles on.This is absolutely my least favourite kind of film. Horrible, awful dialogue you'd find on some daytime US soap from the early 1990s, between manicured, characterless beauties you don't care about enough even to WANT to see them dismembered by the promised living dead (even the zombies, when they eventually arrive, look like they've staggered out of a toothpaste commercial). Someone has actually funded this crap, cast a number of grinning, competent non-entities and put together an utterly soulless, vapid, smug environment when anything approaching horror takes distant second place to divine catwalk idiots arguing about jealousy and flirtation.By the time the zombies, or the 'demented', or whatever the heck they are, arrive, nothing they can do could be enough to redeem this respectable, insipid, gore-free, thrill-free, lamentable soap fare. It doesn't bother me that a corpse lying at the entrance of a pharmacy disappears between scenes; I don't care that the confusing ending sees them both being rescued and not being rescued. An effort is at least made to make the last ten or so minutes exciting, and the finale does at least trey to do something unexpected: not even perfect people have a happy endings. Aside from that, however, this is just a hugely complacent, unambitious film.
Richard Dominguez Holy Crap, This Was A Freaking Great Movie ... First This Is Not A Zombie Movie (More Like A Rabies Movie) ...The Action Is Fast And Powerhouse ... The Ending Shocked The &^%$ Out Of me ... I Can't See How This Doesn't Get An Easy 8 Out Of 10 ... The Only Thing I Can Think Of Saying Is "Holy Crap, This Was A Freaking Great Movie" ..
djaudiomind Low budget nonsensical flick that appears to try and be a cross between World War Z and 28 Days Later.Going to spoil it for some, but I simply cannot help it. Seen many budget zombie flicks in my time, but this is probably one of the worst.Why does only one soul in this flick actively procure a weapon to use against the "zombies"? (I use that term loosely bc the zombie designer did a very poor job making them look anywhere close to authentic.)After running over multiple zombies just moments before, why does the guy swerve and wreck the SUV when confronted with another obvious one in the road, even if it is a child? Who in the he!! decides to walk around the middle of a small downtown swarming with zombies with no actual plan and no weapons in hand? Can someone please tell Kayla Ewell to shut up? Her constant fake screams are the most annoying thing about this film.Why is it that the Olympic zombie runners can hear very good, but apparently cannot see without sound "activating" them? Yet when you do "wake" them, they see you without fail? HUH? That's what I said.How exactly did they confuse the buildings they needed to get to the roof of? Who does that, when running for their life? What's with the absolutely demented two endings? The one saving grace is that Kayla Ewell finally gets put down at the end after putting my ears through screeching misery.
Jesse Boland If you have ever seen a zombie movie, or played Dead Rising, then you have seen this story. A small group to begin with has to first realize then deal with the current zombie apocalypse, then figure out that they need to reach the highest point in the land to get rescued. This would all really just be the same story, except there was a nice surprise at the end that made me shout "What a Twist!" for the first time in months. if you have 90 minutes to kill, and this movie is in the free bin, then check it out if only to get to the end. Otherwise you have better things to do. Like (let's face it) preparing yourself for that inevitable Zombie apocalypse that we are all hoping for because it will be better than running out of oil.
