Not really a film, is it ?

No budget, dialogue, actors, story, script, etc. Really more like a first-attempt student project.

Watching it on my PC whilst writing a report, and flicking over every 15 mins. I'm half way through, and haven't missed anything yet. One good point: there's so little in the way of audio (no screaming, music, speech and so on), that I'm not even being distracted from typing.

Its not really clear why the producers thought they could justify a release for this.

Avoid, at no cost.

well it was filmed on film and it is a movie, maybe you've been blinded by hollywood or something?

haha!

This movie IS way too boring. I am one who actually got so enthused by the cover, I attempted to give this waste of time the entire running to see SOME zombie-action... not arse but some halfway-decent attempt at character buildup.

Way too boring for you. I just got done watching it... and found it completely engaging. After a very slow build-up it picks up tremendously half-way through. BIG improvement over the director's first film.

And may I ask, murdoc... what were you doing waiting for "SOME zombie-action" when this film has nothing at all to do with zombies? It wasn't even falsely advertised as a zombie film. Are you positive you're talking about the correct film?

It made me think of a pandemic-zombie film on the cover. Also the trailer with the signal turning ppl against each other really amped up that idea. However, ur right... it was really not and was just boring 2 me. I'll go ahead and say though that it DID have very logical build-up here and there, but most of it was just a drag. Not saying anything bad of the director at all, it's just he could've snazzed the dialogue or something.
An example of something I like is RIGHT AT YOUR DOOR and [REC]. Those were two great biohazard films.

So it doesn't have a big budget or famous stars etc? Even if it is a student project it's still a film duh!
