Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Everyone thinks they can make a zombie movie. Of these attempts, perhaps 10 percent are worth sitting through. This is in the other 90 percent. No logic to it at all, it has a very unlikable (and bad acting) main star, who one has to wonder, how did she make it in life this far, before the zombie apocalypse? No real reason is given for either how this zombie (who looks like an homage to the original cemetery zombie in Night of the Living Dead) keeps following her or how this shambling thing can sneak up on people? I won't give anything away but I will say the ending was as dumb as the rest of the movie.

After getting stranded in the desert, a lone woman finds her struggle to brave the elements threatened by a relentless, ravenous zombie bent on killing and eating her and anyone who comes to help and finally forces her to fend off the deadly creature in order to survive.Overall, this here was a rather enjoyable effort. One of the most endearing aspects of this one stems from the rather unique and enjoyable premise at the heart of this one. Rather than detailing one person's plight against a horde of creatures as would normally be the case here, this one tends to focus on her lone struggle about a singular, relentless zombie that continually charges after her no matter how far away in the desert she appears to get. Since she manages to understand the rules of the genre by immediately expressing the need for the typical rules here, this one goes about throwing that around with the removal of the weapon early on in the initial encounter, which gives this one a strong, intriguing start by forcing it beyond the typical series of exploits throughout here as there's seemingly only a few actual traditional zombie encounters throughout here. The initial encounter between out on the highway gets this off to a nice start by employing the kind of setup that gets the film going as well as the series of encounters throughout the desert featuring her leading him along at a slow pace wandering around through the scenery by a few strides adds a humorous setup to their antics as she berates him while walking only a few feet in front of him. The eventual scenes of her around the cliffs waking up to him growling at her have plenty of solid chills as well as a touch of comedy, while the later scenes of her starting to warm up to him have a different atmosphere than would be expected in such a genre film, especially once it deals with the finale of the chaos at the abandoned airfield as well as getting back to suburbia for the touching moments included within that gives this a strong, sensitive ending note. Coupled with the great gore effects and stellar zombie make-up, there's plenty to like here over it's few minor issues. The main problem here is the fact that there's just such a flimsy story that it really seems short in terms of what is supposed to be happening. This one just seems to fit more in a shorter, condensed state rather than a full-length effort as it tends to feature here wandering through the desert way too often than doing anything, all due to its setup that barely seems to support its length. That also comes from its other problem, too many useless scenes to bump up the running time. From the rape attempt that has no point in here to the scenes at the airfield and her memories of the past, this has some useless parts to stretch out it's running time. However, these aren't too detrimental overall.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, a rape and drug use.

This movie was even better than I expected and I was expecting a lot. The synopsis teases you but it doesn't give the whole picture.When you actually start watching it, there's no way, you'll walk away until it's over. It's that good.The acting, especially Molly's character was bang on, funny and intense when needed.Definitely a movie to add to your watch list. You won't regret it one bit.

Boring movie with very unlike-able main character. I can never get behind a movie where the main (and really only significant) alive character is a crappy person and makes stupid decisions. At first I wondered, is this meant to be a comedy? Certainly its no horror nor a thriller. Black 'comedy' maybe. Annoying cheap drunk stripper coke head uses guy, shows shes a crap person, boringly gets chased by a very poor make-up-ed smalls, lets her misandry fly and over all proves she really is an unlike-able 'dumb broad'- would be a much more accurate summary of this movie. Would definitely recommend re-watching TWD for the 100th time over this. But in the pros - good use of landscape, actors aren't terrible and zombie sound effects are good.
