Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Andy Van Scoyoc Compared to some indie jokes that attempt to pass for movies, this movie is a dream. Starts out, BAD, so just stay with it, give it time and it does,improve. Likable, hate-able and mostly convincing characters, by far the best is Sam, played by William Brian Potts. His character you could really pull for. Acting ranged...Some people just aren't meant for certain roles...From awful, to downright, believably good. Some...mediocre at best.Not bad, at all and though I wouldn't have paid more than a couple of dollars to see it (I saw it free on Amazon Prime) it's certainly not worthy of the 2 1/2 star reviews on AP.Worthy of a watch...Just bear with it through the bad parts.

George Taylor Another of the many lame zombie movies to come down the pike. I'll start this out by saying this; if you're even thinking of watching this trash, skip it and go watch The Girl With All The Gifts or Train to Busan. Those are worth your time. This is a cliché ridden, poorly acted, lame mostly rip off of Night of the Living dead. It starts with a flat tire. Guys wife goes to take pictures - she gets attacked, killed and turns. Guy runs off, finds the worst boarded up farm house in the universe, filled with all stereotype characters, one's a redneck, one's a granny, two are hot girls (one's the rednecks girlfriend) and the final guy may or may not be gay. They don't know it but... Just do yourself a huge favor. Skip this silliness. You'll be grateful.

mrbambam1985 this has to be the worst movie ever made who ever mad this movie should never me aloud make another movie there's not one good actor in the movie the story is bad from start to finish i cant think of one good thing to say about this movie except i hope it never comes on TV ever again even the zombies are bad they all look the same at least with good zombie movies like dawn on the dead and 28 days later none of the zombies look the same may be its because this movie cost about 20 bucks to make the actors in this movie should get medals for bad acting the red neck and his girl friend are the worst people is this bad movie and what was the point of the soldier guy he was pointless in the movie and why in gods name did they end the movie with them walking off like 2 losers i have a idea im going to end the movie with 2 people walking on a high way give me a break

Paul Magne Haakonsen I picked up "The Killing Strain" from Amazon because of one reason; it is a zombie movie. I am a sucker for zombies, and just have to watch all that I can. When I received the movie by mail, I put it in my 'to-watch-pile' because the DVD cover looked sort of discount-like. So nearly two months pass by before I sit down to watch it."The Killing Strain" really surprised me, because it was not the kind of cheesy, low-budget crap zombie movie that I expected it to be. There was actually good production to this movie and they had fairly good actors and actresses on the cast list.The story in "The Killing Strain" is as you have seen in countless zombie movies prior to this one. A strange infection is rampart, turning people into mindless killing machines - zombies, if you will - and the protagonists find themselves in the middle of the chaos. Yeah, nothing new here. But still, the movie was executed in such a manner that it managed to keep me entertained and watching. Being trapped in a farmhouse, again very cliché, there is a group of people coming together for survival, and of course personalities and tempers clash as not everyone is on the same page. And sure, the characters were fairly generic and cliché, but still it worked out well enough.There was one thing that I didn't really like in the movie, and that is the "28 Days Later"-style zombies that are fast, agile and running about. But hey that is all a matter of preference. And the movie was still great, despite the running zombies.The effects were good as well, and the zombies had great make-up. Now, you didn't really get the tradition guts, gore and gorging on intestines that you usually get in Romero's movies and such. But the zombies still had a great touch of being dead to the make-up and effects.I don't understand the low rating this movie have gotten, because I found it to be one of the better non-blockbuster-produced zombie movies I have seen in quite some time.As for the ending of the movie, well, I will not spoil anything by revealing it here, but that ending was so obvious, it could be seen coming a mile away.
