Nothing new here

Low budget zombie film that brings nothing new to the table. I've seen worse zombie films but I was so bored after 30 minutes that I turned it off.

“I was so bored after 30 minutes that I turned it off“

So you expect people to take your opinion about a movie seriously when you only watched 1/3 of it?

Also how can you know there’s nothing new in a movie you only watched 1/3 of?

[–] olioz (3314) 6 years ago

No not really. I know it's not fair to judge a movie when I didnt even watch the whole thing, but If after 30 minutes it hasn't grapped me I'm out. Maybe it turned into the greatest and most inventive zombie films ever after that, feel free to find out yourself.

I expect people to make up their own mind, this is just how I felt.

I watched it all the way through, and it had a few twists I didn't expect.

What annoyed me throughout, however, was how stupidly people would wander off alone, over and over, and get into trouble. How did they survive that long being that stupid?

I''m really curious what "twist" are you referring to.

[–] GordianNott (137) 6 years ago

**Spoilers**

Twists for me were:
1. The mystery of the tower of junk.
2. Everyone dies except the little girl. I was certain the hero guy would survive; they usually do.
3. The band of survivors was mostly women. That's unusual.
4. The race driver from the very beginning who had his girlfriend attacked is somehow a survivor at the end.
5. No one seemed to fit the usual stereotype. Even the little girl was not "traumatized, non-speaking little girl."
6. The zombies were smart enough to lay traps for people, so like the tower of junk, they were not totally brain dead.

Well, those are not twist. Some of that are things that were never explained due to extremely poor writing.

I kept watching because I was intrigued why they just stood around like that. That is unusual for zombies. Then I was let down when they didn't explain it in the least bit or the chairway to wherever. ~Cheers.

This movie is about the details. It is a smart film well worth seeing.
