BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
cg_regan Not quite sure why this film has so many negative reviews - I knew it was a low budget film when I went in so wasn't expecting it to be perfect, but by the end I actually really enjoyed it. It's a flawed film, especially in the middle where the pace drags a bit, but there are so many entries into this genre I was just impressed to see someone trying to do something a bit different with it. The characters are interesting, Ray Bullock Jnr gives a really amazing performance as the lead and the film looks great.While a bigger budget would've helped the size and scope of the film that's no reason not to try and tell a story like this and as far as I'm concerned I'm really glad they did. Originality is scare these days, about as scarce as British genre films, and I think it should be applauded wherever possible.Really keen to see what the filmmakers do next!
Blue_Martian Once you read the other comments on this film you quickly figure out that people seem to either love or hate this movie. Which I believe would probably classify this movie as a success in the directors eyes with that alone.First this is not really a zombie movie (or infected for the purists) in the normal sense of the genre (they are only a minor part of the story) so if that's what you're looking for you may want to keep looking.This was a refreshingly new and fairly unique storyline for a movie within the zombie/infected genre. Typically a movie in this category can only keep your interest with gore or suspense, however with this film it was the story itself that keeps you watching.If you're hoping for a big budget 28 Days/weeks later, or George Romero type of movie with tonnes of Gore and a refined script.... then you may want to re-watch those.But if you enjoy a low budget movie with a decent script where all people involved with the project genuinely tried their best to make it work I would definitely recommend this.
brazle2 I agree that I wish we could give a ZERO! This is not even remotely scary or "horror". It didn't make me "think". It doesn't make you contemplate an apocalyptic future. It doesn't do anything except make you wonder when it is actually going to get good and make it worth your time. Biggest waste of 90 minutes ever!!! The acting is awful. The character of Max is not worthy of caring about. The whole "savior" coming to help him is only a brief blip in the last few minutes and then it doesn't explain why he doesn't trust this person he's been waiting for. The scenes with Max's mother are pointless. It doesn't actually add anything to the movie. Please don't waste your time.
eddietbrennan Some of the reviews on this leave me wondering if there are not other versions of this film out there as the one I watched certainly doesn't deserve greater viewing. A waste of time & £3.50: I could have picked a better movie at random off the shelves of the rental store.This is a low rent & very poor attempt at making a Stalker type interpretation of the Zombie movie but it fails. Totally. It's incoherent & poorly acted. The sets are unconvincing as are the zombies. They give the impression of being mates of the director & I kept expecting to find them stifling smirks. Its not even logical or reasonable within its own reality. Why does the protagonist live in a basic shelter on the ground level of a forest?? He could increase his safety 10 fold by simply living in a tree hut / platform, if he must insist on a forest location, though why he couldn't find & secure a house is beyond me. I could make a better attempt of post-zombie survival than this character! That's enough time wasted on this movie. Bye.
