What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Just because you can make a zombie movie, doesn't mean you should. Before the zombies are created through a bomb, the TV and phones go out...but airplanes can still fly with their GPS. The film is low budget, lame, boring, bad sound, terrible acting, worse dialogue and virtually lacking a plot.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

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.

So I sat down with my girlfriend and watched this film we rented from the local video store, we both love zombie films so we figured it has to be at least decent right? Well that is a yes and no scenario.Here we have a film made for no money, and it starts off almost one year into the zombie apocalypse with a woman writing in her journal about the events that led to the dreaded zombiegeddon. Soon after we are wound backwards to the day it all started and these two buddies are out on a drinking shooting spree to blow off steam. (I don't think mixing alcohol and guns was a very smart thing to do here, but whatever it isn't really the point.) As the day progresses further along an explosion rocks the city and suddenly things are thrown into chaos. As the city is evacuated we are treated to one of the most annoying performances from some woman chastising her husband about not asking for directions, and the over used story arc of a little girl who lost her mom, at this point my girlfriend and I were praying these people were eaten alive in the most painful of manners.The second most annoying story or characters have to be the National Guard soldiers. As a member of the guard I almost felt insulted. I say almost because at least they were good for laugh.Now nearly 20 some minutes have gone by and not one zombie pops up on screen. We were about to turn it off when finally the zombies show up and tear some poor cop to shreds. All that time to get to the good stuff, and then the film did get better from there. After that scene we immediately return to the traffic jam full of evacuees and the zombies begin to invade and attack. This ladies and gentlemen is the single best sequence of the entire film. The zombies tear through the unsuspecting motorists as violently as possible and the gore delivers when some poor woman has her throat torn out. The girlfriend and I finally started to get interested in the film, but that was as good as it gets. As the rest of the film played on each action sequence tried to get the same momentum going but fell short. What a shame as it started to get much better but ended up falling flat.The question is, would I recommend this film? Give it a rent if you can find it. Just be prepared to sit it out before the film actually begins to build momentum. Better luck next time, if there is a next.

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.
