Sorry, this movie sucks

hyped garbage

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Louis and son Andrew attempt some bonding centered around deer hunting. Dr. Dennehy is the local sawbones. He's doing the same thing with his son Seth.Things start to go to hell after one of Dennehey's patients (a friend's grandmother) bites him; the wound starts getting nasty. Seth and Andrew bond over being embarrassed by their respective fathers, and over loving illegal firearms.After granny goes missing, Louis, Dennehey, Andrew, and Kelly (the granddaughter) go looking for her. The other youngsters get plowed, and Seth gets attacked by granny.Things go downhill from there.Will the authorities arrive and fix all this viral outbreak?-----Scores------Cinematography: 5/10 Not so good. There is too much fuzzy focus and failures with zooming. Camera rotation I can always do without. Zombie effects were on the poor side.Sound: 3/10 The actors were usually miked OK, but not always. The score/incidental sound varied between irrelevant to counterproductive.Acting: 2/10 I've seen Michael Madsen give wonderful performances in several movies, but this was not one of them. William Forsythe was a bit better (accounting for the two points). The lesser players were just horrible. Tracey Sheldon was pneumatic and decorative, but did not deliver lines well.Screenplay: 0/10 Talking zombies? Thinking zombies? A zombie who wins an argument with a normal healthy human being? Zombies having telephone calls about uncashed checks and child custody? --- Horrible dialog. Little internal logic. A new Lyme disease that accounts for zombie behaviour? I doubt it.

I liked this enough that I'll buy or rent it in the future for more viewing pleasure, so to speak.The score was a mix of things from orchestral to twang, and it lent to a tone of "cautious optimism" throughout. And for me that was one of the standout features of this flick, making it different from the standard-issue zombie movies of late.Others have said all the rest of the positive things I wanted to say, so I'll just add this: it's possible that some of the haters don't want as much fleshing-out as just plain flesh.Take a chance and see what you think.

There have been a lot of hype over zombie movies the past few years. What with virus movies like 28 days/weeks later,i am legend,resident evil and other films coming about, we get a few stinkers. this doesn't even come close! this is the worst of the worst. The story doesn't really develop at all, yea we get to know about one or two of the characters but we don't really get to know enough to care whether or not they survive this. and in one of the scenes, we don't even know what the hell happens to one of the characters who has to "go pee" because he is anxious about having sex with a hooker! now i only saw this movie for 2 reasons. . . .one being william forsythe because i loved him in the devils rejects. the other is Christie romano. . .i watched her as a kid on the TV show "Even Stevens" and i was disappointed with her hollow acting. At least William delivered a good attempt in acting in this film.all in all. . if you see this movie in the store or anything. . .dont get it. . its a waste of money and space.

There are the boring movies, there are the bad movies, this is bad and boring at the same time. And believe me, after watching fan made Star Trek series this week, I know about bad acting. This was worse.You have to know when Michael Madsen gets a role in anything these days that you are not going to like it, but I had some hopes for William Forsythe. They both act their usual old tough routine, only without any pathos or interest. The special effects are what you and I would make in a garage, the dialog and script in general are abysmal. I don't know how to bring it to you: there is nothing in this film that was even remotely average. Everything was bad. And not that funny bad that you can laugh at while drinking a beer, but that boring life sucking bad that one should to the utmost to avoid.So bottom line: run away from this. If you see it on someone's harddrive, delete it, if you see it on a movie shelf, accidentally set it on fire. It will save lives!
