*SPOILERS* Nitpicking thread


Interesting movie. But there were things that bothered me. Here come the nitpicking! add your own:

1) Just mere hours after the zombie outbreak, a paramilitar force was harvesting inmmune people, with convenient electric-powered vehicles (and a sadistic doctor experimenting with zombies, to boot).

2) Flammable blood was only flammable when needed.

3) A lot of zombies in the middle of nowhere just a day after the outbreak, including a zombie that appeared from below the ground.

4) Nobody listened to a radio station in order to get news about the situation.

5) If the regular combustible did not worked, how they were using a gas lighter just before discovering that zombie blood was flammable?

All good points.

Also, what was crazy doc trying to achieve with these experiments anyway ? 


When I'm gone I would like something to be named after me. A psychiatric disorder, for example.

My guess: I think he was trying to figure out why A- people were immune to the virus by pumping them with zombie blood. Unfortunately for him, Brooke had a side-effect that ended up getting him killed.

5 seconds in - obviously they were filming somewhere that was cold but they needed to edit out the warm breath coming out of the actors' mouths. Someone on here called it zombie farting, hahaha!

It's too cerebral! We're trying to make a movie here, not a film!

1) If the main clowns could do it, why couldn't the military?

2) Yeah

3) That's what I thought too. Out in the middle or nowhere and not one was Aboriginal???

4) Nothing worked.

5) He didn't, it was matches.


I can't beleive I answered this, I didn't even like the movie HAHA

The pig squeal noises from the Z's got me. Such a high pitched animal sound coming from human bodied zombies? Seriously?. It ruined the illusion they were trying to create. Would have been far better with more 'human' tone sounds coming from them, like snarls and groans or just human made animalistic shrieks, than the ridiculous piggy squeals that didn't seem like they were coming from the Z's most of the time - obviously done in post production...

Don't get me started on the zombie burp fart gases. It reminded me of the movie The Witches (1990) when the boys turned into mice and vice versa. So it was quite cartoonish.

Even if you want to play at that being a "fuel" how does that change the components of other flammables? Are they trying to say the whole of Earths atmosphere has changed, and that has changed the characteristics of how fuels and chemicals and other elements work and react?

I actually didn't mind the drama, or the characters also the concepts - but for sure there are some things that could have used some fine-tuning to have made it a better film overall to have lifted the standards of it, so it was taken more seriously. Even with the comedic elements.

It just borderlined on the ridiculous and outrageous a bit too much for it to be taken as anything more than something the SyFy Channel or The Asylum Sharknado team would make. It's a notch above these, but not by much. But definitely had potential.

Why was the scientist guy wearing goggles inside the hazmat suit??? And what the hell were those stupid little lenses on the right goggle?? Did the makers of this movie forget what period they set the movie in? It looked like they were going for some futuristic look here and even if they were I revert back to my opening 2 sentences where neither serve any discernible purpose whatsoever!
And also how the main characters had those makeshift armored suits. No explanation where all the gear came from, they just happened to have all that stuff? I know, just a movie, but even so for me, it asks too much suspension of disbelief.

I think the zombie apocalypse took place in the same year the movie was made since there was nothing futuristic about that family car used in the movie.
