can't understand half of what they're saying. (subs needed) a low budget mediocre movie.

why do you have the wikipedia article for the nazi party in your sig?

...yes, the sig does kind of detract from his observations doesn't it? What an odd chap.

But to answer his questions:

1) In remote countryside, after a zombie apocalypse, lighting will be poor.

2) I understood every word. They're speaking English, but in Scottish accents. Like Hitler spoke German in an Austrian accent, if that helps.

it doesn't matter where they are located. Whoever was in charge of lighting the film was not doing his job. Anytime it was even remotely dark I could barely see anything. Ridiculous.

It was *beep* night-time!

I understood what they were saying but the nighttime scenes outside were so poorly lit that they added almost nothing to the plot. You couldn't even see what was happening most of the time! It's easy to do "night" and still give the audience an idea of what the hell they're supposed to be looking at, and this movie failed bigtime.

I loved how you give an example that the OP could understand.

I thought the lighting was very appropriate....did not notice any "shaky" camera scenes....and I understood everything that was being said....the accents were a bit heavy but again, I was able to understand the dialog without any problems...

I didn't mind the lighting or the camera, but crucial portions of dialogue were inaudible because of the noisy soundtrack. A more stripped-down version of this film might have worked, but I had trouble understanding most of what the characters said. 3/10 stars from me.
