Of all the reasons to rent what looks like Generic Zombie Movie #583, it being almost two hours long is one of the stranger ones. But, yeah, here’s another zombie movie that doesn’t sound like it’s moving the needle, but I was curious why it was so long. Figured they were either trying to say something unique or were blinded by their own hubris.
So, yeah… its ten years after the apocalypse and a well-armed man and his end times adopted daughter try to survive the zombies. These are fast running rage zombies… with their unique angle being they smarter than the average bear. They aren’t very good with interpersonal communication, but they plan and strategize their kills.
And… yeah… it’s a relatively low budget zombie flick without a ton of ambition, but you can see it trying. I’ve seen far worse zombie flicks. This one is pretty episodic story, following the characters from one location to the next, fighting zombies, meeting other survivors, etc.
It’s an ok-to-mediocre film… if you really love zombie films, you might extract something out of it. Not its originality as its largely playing in the same sandbox, but maybe in its slight ambition bump due to a slightly higher than average budget.
I dunno… it’s not very good but its not very bad either. They had a slightly bigger budget than your average low budget zombie flick and used the cash to tell Generic Zombie Movie #583… now with smarter zombies!
