This movie dragged badly needs to be remade, really good concept.


This movie had tons of scenes which dragged on way way too long. The first 15 minutes, the last 15 minutes, and the on scene where Colin gets smacked with the hammer were the only scenes that didn't drag too much. This movie needs to be remade with better supporting actors (Colin was excellent!), a few more ideas(when you cut all that needs to be cut it would be well under 90 minutes), and maybe a better camera/film, idk if the filmmakers would agree but the poorish camera quality didn't really add much.

Such great ideas are shown throughout the film, really liked the ending and how we see why one zombie does what he does after seeing it as somewhat random originally. Oddly enough one of the things that doesn't really need improvement is the gore effects, considering the low budget though, obviously if it were remade you would make them better.

This movie just needs to trim down the fat and replace it with some more muscle. Because my main complaint was that it dragged too much I am a little surprised it was 97 minutes and not simply 90. They could have easily trimmed that down to 90 and still had plenty of work left to do. Some extreme examples of the dragging scenes are obviously the documentary house, and the part where his family locks him up/

Yes, and the make up needs some improvement too. Personally I like the concept, this movie could be better.

they need to add a less annoying camera view and more realistic infighting.

Yeah, the shakycam annoyed the crap outta me so bad I actually quit the movie part of the way through because of it.
