Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Uriah43 One of the main complaints about zombie movies is that they're all so similar. Most "zombie enthusiasts" would disagree and could easily point to a particular film to make their case. This is one such movie. Not only is this different but it adds some new ideas for the zombie genre as well. For example, this movie has 3 different scenarios all against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse in Los Angeles. Unlike a great number of zombie films, this one doesn't start at the beginning of the apocalypse or give the details of how it happened. Instead it focuses on some of the ways a few survivors have coped with it all. What is so interesting is that each of these survivors have their own story to tell and although they live in the same city, none of the stories are interrelated. I won't go into what secrets each of these people harbor but I will say that I thought it was a decent movie because it was so original. Now, I suppose it could have been better if the scenarios were somehow linked together but even so I thought this film had plenty of surprises to keep my attention.
famouscoffee During the first five minutes of this movie I thought about turning it off. But at the one hour mark I was dying to find out what the hell was going on. Somehow this terrible movie captivated me right to the very end - at which point non of my questions were answered.For those who love crappy movies, I highly recommend this one. You will be treated to mind boggling plot twists, enthralling high school-calibre acting, and grade five level dialogue. This movie redeems itself by being amazingly terrible from start to finish.The movie begins by showing you the struggles of a couple who turn out to be vampires, another couple who are having relationship problems due to computer addiction, and other chick that's just messed up because she had to kill her husband and baby. Then some sort of organic cyborg fungus grows out of one dude's computer and feeds off a cactus ... 'Power Source Located'. This of course happens a number of other times when the tentacles find a mouse and then the dude's girlfriend (who fantasizes about romancing a zombie - a la Dirty Dancing). Totally awesome, but seemingly not connected to anything else that's happening in any of the other story lines.So then the vampires capture this girl who I think was an anti-vampire because she gets stronger as they feed off her. Mayhem ensues and the only one left alive is the vampiress. Yet, somewhere else in the same building? or in another part of the city, the angry chick (who had to kill her own baby) meets the Antichrist who is being pursued by these creepy priests (oh ya, the Antichrist is a 12 year old boy, which seems appropriate for their zealous desire to find him).In the end, pretty much everyone dies, but the angry chick and the Antichrist go off together somewhere - maybe to fight the alien cyborg fungus, and the vampiress laments about the horrible and chaotic world in which she is left alone - and yes, she has no answers and either do we.
livingdeaddude Do not be fooled by this movies brilliant DVD cover. I was in the movie store and there it was, a new zombie flick (I love zombie flicks. Can never seem to get enough of them) and on the cover was a hot female in torn clothes boots and ripped fishnets standing on a pile of rubble surrounded by zombies and she's holding a pistol down at them. The title of the movie 'Edges of Darkness' in the background behind her head with the tag line 'so many zombies, so little time' underneath. SWEET! I thought. Turned it over and the hot chick is wielding an axe and there are nothing but zombies other than her. Looked like a good and cheesy action flick. I have never been so disappointed. It starts of pretty decent. You can tell it's a low budget production, but that never bothers me. We see lots of zombies and then we get into these 3 tales that don't make any sense or have really anything to do with zombies. SPOILER ALERT. First story is a about this "warrior" woman (I think this is the girl on the DVD case as far a I can tell. If it is the photo shopped the hell out of her) helping some mother and her son. She then finds out some priest are trying to kill the boy because they think he's the anti-Christ. The second is about this computer obsessed husband who ignores his wife who talks to herself. Then the computer starts coming alive. The last one is about this couple who kidnap this woman and want to drink her blood but some unknown reason that's never found out her blood starts poisoning them. The whole movie you just want a zombie to kill all of them. No one dies from a zombie. OK, that's a lie, some random people at the beginning who have no lines do, but that's it. There are no likable characters, mashed up non-sensible plots, boring sets (seriously looked like the whole thing was shot in dorm rooms and show houses. Every room was white and empty except one room that was covered in graffiti), unfocused camera work, and a bad soundtrack. Do not waste your time or money on this movie. Watching my hands prune in a bath is more interesting
TheCrow111 The only thing this movie was missing was a plot. It was as if a bunch of horror movie writers sat around and wrote an terrible movie based off of their ideas. The movie was based off of bunch of people who all believe they are the last people on earth(which they aren't) that have nothing in common except that there are zombies outside of their house. There really wasn't anything good to say about this movie. I mean even the cactus had a name. I have never wanted a zombie to eat my brains out more than after i finished this movie. Here is a crazy question, Why didn't any zombies get killed in this movie? More mice died than zombies. However, There is a zombie apocalypse outside and you have the curtains open!
