Not worth it even for zombie diehards
I'm a zombie fan and I have sat through more than my share of sh!tfest zombie flicks including every zombie film syfy puts out. I watched the day of the dead remake TWICE! I continue to shill for The Walking Dead every season even though in truth they've been phoning it in since season 2. Fact is the vast majority of zombie flicks these days suck. Plain and simple. For every great flick there are 25 failures.
This is one of the failures. There wasn't much cgi, most of the effects were done in the old fashioned way but for the most part they were extremely poor. The zombies themselves were very cheaply done.
The acting was ok and the film work was as well and the story was a little refreshing but also nonsensical. I think with a bit more of a budget, the same actors and a mildly modified script this would have worked and been a decent flick.
The ending as it were made the entire film a waste of time, possibly setting up for a Part 2 that everyone knows by now will NEVER be made.
I cannot recommend this film to anyone. If there were no other films in existence I'd say give it a shot but with such a vast collection of material, I cannot recommend wasting time watching this when you could be watching something else.
I was on the fence of giving this a "4" since for me it was more like a 3.4 but the ending and padded reviews made me go with the "3" and I think it was fair.
