5 out of 10 stars just because


Lindsey Morris looks hot and Nate Witty was funny as Stanley.
The two schoolgirls who became zombies weren't too hard on the eyes either (before they turned anyway).
Other that that this movie stunk on ice.
No real scares and shoddy production.
I've enjoyed other low budget films but this one is just bad.

My two major grips with the film is the bad, bad special effects (such as no visible impact or blood when a zombie gets shot) and the abrupt start/stop of the music. It really took away from the movie. If those two were handled a bit better I think I would've liked it a bit more.. 4/10 from me.

Oh yes - and the lead actress was fiiine.

I totally agree with Paultagonist - the music was so terribly done, it's like half assed fade outs , you'd think they woulda noticed that, it just randomly starts and randomly fades out (badly and awkwardly), reminds me of my 4 track recording days trying to fade out .... makes me wonder if the editor had any experience at all. Just a horrendous attempt at film making ...

How did you know the girl was upset ? cause she started YELLING ! Now thats some high school acting right there. I mean if you are going to cast someone who can't act, at least find someone more appealing to look at. (She's a decent looking girl, I'm just saying cast someone hot).

Congrats for making a full length movie that got some wide release (Netflix) hopefully they've learned a few things !
