The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
... View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
... View MoreSeriously, I hope the camera crew don't have to list this movie on their resume. It's more horrifying than the movie plot ever could have been. Don't bother unless you want a headache or worse. I know they were trying to spoof the camera work on COPS but they failed miserably. The story plays out much like Starship Troopers and could have garnered a cult following but the camera work completely takes you out of the story. Whenever there is an action sequence, you can pretty much guarantee that you won't be able to actually see it. The camera shakes and the cameraman spends far too much time focused on (way too close) close ups of the actors.
... View MoreHow to ruin a movie. Have a nice enjoyable spin on an abused genre such as zombies. Have a nice cast of actors. Have a good doze of violence and gore. Have good sound and camera positioning / scenes.. And then COMPLETELY RUIN IT WITH AN OVERKILL AND OVERDO OF SHAKE CAM / CAMERA MOTION!What a waste of resources and potential. I physically could not sit through this movie because i got a headache and motion sickness because someone thought it was a good idea to ruin a perfectly decent movie with an over-usage of shake cam.This is not a debate about love or hate about camera motion. This is about the notion that there now is a whole ARMY of simpletons out there that think it is good viewing to overkill on camera motion.Camera motion when done the right way (not to much degree of motion and not to much zoomed in) is actually very enjoyable and can add tense, action etc to scene. Shamefully in this movie it completely ruined what could have been a solid good movie.
... View MoreI normally dislike the found footage genre (although as another reviewer said, I do like starship troopers so would advise those who liked the humour and/or style of Starship Troopers to give this one a chance). I know other reviews have made a point of mentioning how shaky the camera was, but imo...its less shaky than what you would expect if you were actually being chased by a bunch of re-animated corpses that want to eat you. And (again imo), the shaky cam helps you submerge yourself into the film better - by creating the sense that they were panicked and running for their lives. While I wouldn't think that this film would appeal to the masses and be winning any Oscars any time soon, I feel it is definitely one of the better zombie films - to the point that I've came here to review it (something I rarely ever do).
... View MoreWow did I love this movie. I'm a huge horror fanatic. I especially love zombie films and this movie was Insane. I have now seen 5 of the 2015 ADH Films including Bastard,Unnatural and Lumberjack Man which were all Awesome. My reviews are up for those as well and I also saw Suspension which sucked but here is my review for this film. I will start with the story which is your standard affair being a zombie outbreak happened and 5 years later they are still trying to contain the outbreak and civilize America once again. The story was told with a camera perspective like the movie Quarantine or REC both being the same film. I felt they did a fine job though with the camera work and the angles. I will now move onto the acting which was cast terrifically. I mean everyone was great especially Scott Adkins and Roger Cross who everyone knows from 24. I will move onto the kills which was your typical zombie foray with a lot of blood and firepower. I mean I expected more gore but what they had was fine with me. I must say that what really made this film Superb for me was the in between moments with commercials going on within the movie just like in RoboCop and Starship Troopers. I found them to be hilarious and definitely made the film more approachable to someone who might not like these types of films. I would further state that the movie while only 87 minutes long felt a lot longer due to those commercials within the film. I will finish by saying that if you love zombie films then you must check this movie out without a question. I guarantee you will love it. I will say that if you combined RoboCop and Starship Troopers and 28 Days Later in a threesome then this is the movie you would get and that is why it's so Epic in my opinion. Thanks and have a Fantastic Day.
