UnowPriceless hyped garbage
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
jacobjohntaylor1 If this movie does not scary you know movie will. This is a very scary movie. It is very underrated. It is not a 2.2. It is a 9. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. This movie is scarier then The Shinning. And that is not easy to do. This movie is scarier the A Nightmare on elm street. And that is not easy to do. This movie is scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do. This movie is scarier then Halloween resurrection ever could be. This movie is scarier then Silence of lambs ever could be. This movie it is a great horror movie.
movieman_kev Gary Kohn as a man of the cloth forced to deal with a sudden zombie outbreak is one of the only things I can actually recommend about this film. His acting chops make him seem to be destined for bigger and better things. The rest of the cast is acceptable for a film of this ilk I guess. But save for Kohn, no real standouts. Also there was absolutely no chemistry between the two leads rendering a few scenes meaningless at best and grating at worst. As far as extremely low-budget zombie films go, I've seen worse (hell thanks to the Catacomb box-set, I've seen worst in the last month) But its not anything special.
mindsclay I would have to dis-agree with the comment "Awful sums it up". This movie wasn't all that bad. There were only a few weak points in the story, but overall it was good. It's a zombie movie with a different slant on why there are zombies. The two main characters seemed real to me. Those two actors did a good job. And the lead actress is some sweet eye candy.Most of the movie was grainy, probably due to low light levels because it was less to none grain for the exterior shots. The makeup was cliché. But then again this is a low budget movie, however it did cost approximately $100k. I would have expected more for $100k. This movie looked like it could have been done with $10k, unless the location at the end of the movie cost $90k. Anyway, I really appreciate low budget movies and I weigh the budget with the final product. So this one is a disappointment in that ratio, yet it was a better movie story-wise and feel-wise than bigger budget "Hollywood" movies.The movie kept me watching and I liked the ending. The story had a beginning, a middle and an ending. It had some decent actors. It even had a bit of humor added. All the elements of a good movie. Not great, but good.I wish there were more movies of like this out there.
silveryoga I watch a ton of indie horror flicks so I don't really expect them to be super polished but this one was very cool! Nice story, sweet lines and pretty ambitious. I really liked it. It's raw but it's really well done too. It's got SHAUN OF THE DEAD humor, you know, dark and quirky but also has real drama.Though, I've gotta admit, the coolest thing was the priest with guns. It's also filmed with a grainy, dreamy texture that I liked.All in all, it was a cool was to pass the time. Look, it reminded me of some of the early Evil Dead stuff.
