Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

hillbillyhatfield Really liked the end credits. The Diary of the Dead story and camera work gave me a headache.We get it you scream. A lot.

patrickslamin I had high expectations for this, being a huge horror fan and seeing this on many top horror film lists and its rating on this site. Having now patiently sat through the whole thing, I am slightly at a loss as to how it has the rating it has.It has some good features - its unnerving at times, the pacing is excellent and it's a decent zombie runout if you're into that type of thing, but I just didn't find it scary at all. Maybe i've just got used to them, but the whole infection/quarantine/zombie attack thing has already been done a gazillion times and a lot more convincingly than this - its essentially a low budget Shaun of the dead with some questionable acting and without the (intentional) comedy. For one, the plot was utterly unconvincing - full government quarantine within 6 minutes of a box standard fireman call (and 1 minute from when they realised it there was a problem) ? The ridiculous commitment of the cameraman and the female lead to their jobs as everyone around him gets ripped to shreds by zombies? The fact they shut in the place down in the first 10 minutes when everyone could have got out safely there and then? Why, if they knew what was going on, wouldn't they just go in and shoot everything already infected?If it didn't try to be something other than a standard entertainment scare-fest that focuses less on trying to be a 'good' film in its own right then it wouldn't matter - but it doesn't and it isn't even particularly scary.If you're after the kind of film that makes you want to look away and crawl up into the foetal position in fear, then stick to the 'sinister,' 'the conjuring' or 'the ring' types. "The orphanage" is another Spanish horror, and its not only a lot more scary but an infinitely better film in its own right. Intelligent, suspenseful, innovative and really well shot. But, unless you're after a low budget zombie flick with psychotic grandmas and a questionable narrative arc, then its probably worth giving this one a miss.

SlyGuy21 How hard is it to hold a camera? I'm not a camera man, but it doesn't seem that difficult. The main reason I don't like found-footage movies is the shaky-cam. I know it's supposed to look amateurish, but the most important thing about a movie is being able to actually watch it. I'm also certain the found-footage perspective was done to make the movie feel more claustrophobic, but I think that could've been done well with a regular camera set up. But then again, the budget for this wasn't that high, so I guess I can give them a pass. Other than the camera work, there's a lot to like about the movie. The characters feel real, their reactions feel real, and the tension slowly builds. Also, if you have to choose between either this or "Quarentine", pick this. I like how they kept the virus primarily unexplained, it made it more mysterious and creepy as a result. Will I see this again, probably not, but if you can handle shaky-cam and want a movie that isn't all jump-scares, you could do a lot worse than this.

bdo-lara The movie does a good job on setting you in a real-life situation with zombies. It's not like those ones that look like a joke and that you're all the time thinking "oh, this is a zombie movie." Instead, you watch the movie trying to understand what is going on. In that way, the movie keeps you on your toes. However, I must say that the leading character screams way too much. It seems stupid to be running or hiding from something and at the same time screaming your lungs out. Going to the last part of the movie, I was just too annoyed by the unnecessary screaming, it just ruined what could have been a great (and more silent) finale.
