Highly Overrated But Still Good

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

First off this is a bro film, a bro his buddy's lots of buddies a camera and a script. Starting off I don't know where the movie stats they have this big half hour monologue about the war and what caused the zombies but its just a bunch of fat people going hunting no zombies. Finally we see police and soldiers goateed hab shab uniformed sent out to protect the shelter. Well didn't the screenwriter have a buddy in the army or something who could've added some jargon? Even Tucker MAX (I hope they served beer in hell/assholes finish first) bragged about his soldier buddies calling people cock-holsters. Here the police preach to the soldiers about deadly force. No soldiers call it R.O.E rules of engagement; the police call it use of force. Anyhow the zombie make up is black and white. The movie fails to deal with man dealing with man during the outbreak its just fat zombies running around. I did like the camera work, felt like you were confused and in the middle of it.

Of all the no budget zed films out there how can anyone say this is bad or horrible? It moves a long at a good pace. The running time is perfect considering the construct of the story. The gore is decent, and considering no one in the film is a professional actor, they did a decent job.The comments some have left are just laughable at best. These so called zed fans that trash this film wouldn't have the guts to take on something of this magnitude nor would they have pulled off anything remotely decent, but yet they have no problem running off at the mouth about it.This is the perfect homegrown zed film. The filmmakers should be proud. Don't listen to people who talk a bunch of trash and don't get worked up over it either. I have read the reviews, even the Fangoria review, and if Fangoria prints that it is a decent indie zed film who is anyone else to argue?You guys did a good job, enjoy the fact you accomplished something like this as it does show zombies films still have pizazz.

I sat down to watch this movie, with my brother. Together, we are NOTORIOUS fans of any and all zombie movies. However, I was almost instantly let down. From the opening shot with some unknown woman writing in her journal about a mysterious man who ruined the planet or somesuch, into the overly pretentious 11 minute opening credits....... OK, I digress.. but seriously, who cares about the radio stations still working and the 2 fat guys who drive around for a while mumbling. I don't have any idea what they were blathering on about and I somehow doubt it would have improved the scene much if I'd bothered to turn the volume up to a level which would have made the background music cause my ears to bleed. Wwhile I'm on the subject of music...it was there when it shouldn't have been and STOPPED the moment it needed to be there.. music while talking and none during 'action'. I absolutely despise when somebody reviews a movie that they did not even watch through, but *I* could not finish this movie.. for only the third time ever ( the first, being the pitiful remake of Rollerball, and second being that miserable piece of rancid feces, Freddy Got Fingered).We got tired of all the non-stop "dialogue" and ended up fast forwarding in minor one-minute increments to see if it would ever end.. 30 minutes into the movie there was no sign of substance. So we took a five minute jump and were.... rewarded... with a blurry slow motion shot of people chewing on what appeared to be bloody eels, in a seriously unconvincing manner. The great John Romero did much much better with FRIED CHICKEN.. nothing bloody.. nothing weird....simple FRIED CHICKEN.Another leap revealed something that seemed to approach an action scene but was lacking in background music (mentioned above) and we simply shut the "film" off. I went back later to try again... and still couldn't. Everyone's lines were forced, their every motion was filled with stagefright... or possibly too much drug usage. Seriously, the little kid looked high. For crying out loud guys, you should have at least watched your own film and realized that you BADLY needed to do another take. Heck, even other indie filmmakers have the intellect to know when they are making an unwatchable scene.I'm not even going to be able to be polite here and say something re-assuring like "good first effort'.... these guys just don't have the talent to make movies. I'm aware they also have a history of attacking reviewers.. have at it, guys.. it won't change how simply awful this is. You're not "indie filmmakers" you're just a bunch of kids with a camera. This "film" is acceptable for an 8th grade show and tell session; nothing more.

I have read the reviews, I have read the user comments, and I have looked at the votes. About half the people who have watched this film actually get it, and get what its about. The other half either don't have a clue, or don't understand what low budget cinema is all about.Films like these are not something you can walk into and expect CGI explosions and people getting blown to bits, especially in a film made for 10,000 bucks. This is the type of film from people who have a love for the genre and try to bring you a vision as twisted as the films you love. I am sure if they had a million bucks you would see everything you like, but they don't and it ain't't gonna happen. If you go into this expecting Dawn of the Dead 2004 or 28 day later, for get it. That is not going to happen. You will see references to every zombie film ever made, especially the good ones, but you will also see one of the better no budget indie zombie films ever made.
