Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Jore Olguin, visionary director and auteur, has taken a quite minimal budget and fashioned a masterpiece from it. With haunting imagery and surrealistic cinematographic effects, Olguin's saga of children surviving a post-apocalyptic landscape populated by zombies and killer soldiers unlike anything filmed before. The zombie genre has been overused and is a tired but this is a return to Romero's original concept and it is a stunning accomplishment. The unrelenting horror can sometimes be overwhelming and while it may be necessary to turn away and regain one's composure, this is ultimate a very satisfactory film experience indeed. The Chilean locations heightens the feeling of other worldliness and the sense of an out-of- kilter existence beautifully. An artistic metaphor for how humanity collectively fears the outsider, this is an important and memorable film.

I just finished watching this movie and came to IMDb to see what others had to say. Let me tell you this, I had more fun and enjoyment reading the reviews than I did watching the movie. Everything I felt during the movie has already been explained in all of the other reviews. It's like deja v. I think Olguin and Garcias story could be so much better with the proper tweaking. They went way to far out with this one. Watching that little girl walking around was very boring and seemed to become unnecessary. I myself would have done things much differently. The terror factor was minus 10. The ridiculous factor was through the roof.And at the end I was just sitting here wishing I had my two bucks back that I spent on this disaster.I find myself oddly in the mood for calamari.

I received an option from Verizon for a free movie in their catalog for on demand movies so based on the cover and description I went with this. I tried looking for this movie at IMDb, but because of the wrong spelling of the word descendant, I couldn't find the movie. Figuring it was a zombie type of movie I didn't think it could be bad... boy was I wrong. After choosing this movie my friend found the IMDb for this movie and after reading the reviews I knew I had chosen POORLY! Despite the crappy trailer and the signs that I should not even watch this movie, I figured I might as well get my money's worth. For a free movie I feel ripped off because it was so bad I can't even begin to describe what I would do to the person or persons behind this film if I were to bump into them.The whole movie did not give much reasoning to anything going on in the film. The people with the guns went after the little kids and the zombies, as well as non-zombies with no guns. The zombies went after everyone except for the little kids. Why?? What made the kids special? What caused this whole mess with the zombies? Why would the little girl's mom tell her that the infected people wouldn't hurt her and then tell her to run away when she's turning herself?I seriously would have skipped this piece of crap if the reviews gave the ending, but because there was no mention of it I decided to see for myself. To save others from this misery when the mess of a "story" came to a close the kids find the sea where a giant octopussy smashes a bunch of army helicopters and the little girl then realizes she's "home". This was all based on a kid-drawn picture the little girl's mom had in front of her as she was turning with a boat in the sea. Seriously, WTF?!

Nothing... absolutely NOTHING excuses the big plot holes this story has. I had the opportunity to watch this movie on the first public exhibition made in Chile, and although the previous movies of director Olguin weren't good, i had faith in him becoming mature enough to make a convincing and sustainable movie, but i was both disappointed and sad to find myself laughing instead of being scared, and to watch more than the half of the public leaving the place before the half of the film. Believe me. People just stood up from their sits and left the hell out of there in anger. The film has a certain touch of social criticism, but it is so week and so covered up on awful special effects, digital visual filters and ineffective horror sequences that the importance of the messages becomes obsolete.Lots of questions stay unexplained, and the fact that the child-protagonists aren't attacked by the zombies (because they are immune to them), there isn't actually any tension in the movie. The central musical theme repeats itself along the movie, as also does and scene which is repeated at least five times with no apparent sense. Boring and ridiculous as hell. But you don't know ridiculous until you watch the ending.
