I love this movie so much

good back-story, and good acting

A Masterpiece!

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

After a devastating war has left the world polluted, a group of Chilean children who are able to survive in the toxic world navigate through the treacherous, zombie-infested world in order to find a sea-side sanctuary.This didn't turn out to be all that great of an effort. The main problem here is the decidedly haphazard manner it's story runs through all sorts of rather inane and useless side-plots that don't offer up anything remotely interesting throughout. The concept of a post-apocalyptic wasteland populated by zombies is a concept that in itself is done to death and hardly interesting in the slightest, and to counter this the concept of having children grow a gill-like appendage to breathe through but other than that it's hardly all that new and this feature isn't explored or even granted enough time to really make a mark on what it means. All sorts of clues are guessed at, but it never gives a definitive explanation for anything since it's too busy with the single most irritating flaw in this, the constant sentimental strains and melodramatic turns it provides. This plays out more like a dark children's fantasy tale about their survival in the landscape more than being munched on by zombies or forcing them to face any kind of fears or life-lessons along the way as this constantly has them sitting around talking about the world at large or what it means to miss their parents who are left behind. The dreams and constant memory-fades that this wallows in are for the most part the main source of inspiration through this so it really doesn't bring in a lot of opportunities for zombie carnage throughout though that is on offer as well. The make-up isn't bad and the gore is certainly serviceable as the early attacks at the compound and their escape attempt are about the main threats by the creatures throughout this, so they take on the main gist of the action scenes here but otherwise there's just not enough spread throughout the rest of the film to really justify the remaining flaws being so persistent and focused in here.Rated R: Graphic Violence, constant issues of children-in-jeopardy, Graphic Language and drug use.

I just finished watching this movie and came to IMDb to see what others had to say. Let me tell you this, I had more fun and enjoyment reading the reviews than I did watching the movie. Everything I felt during the movie has already been explained in all of the other reviews. It's like deja v. I think Olguin and Garcias story could be so much better with the proper tweaking. They went way to far out with this one. Watching that little girl walking around was very boring and seemed to become unnecessary. I myself would have done things much differently. The terror factor was minus 10. The ridiculous factor was through the roof.And at the end I was just sitting here wishing I had my two bucks back that I spent on this disaster.I find myself oddly in the mood for calamari.

Nothing... absolutely NOTHING excuses the big plot holes this story has. I had the opportunity to watch this movie on the first public exhibition made in Chile, and although the previous movies of director Olguin weren't good, i had faith in him becoming mature enough to make a convincing and sustainable movie, but i was both disappointed and sad to find myself laughing instead of being scared, and to watch more than the half of the public leaving the place before the half of the film. Believe me. People just stood up from their sits and left the hell out of there in anger. The film has a certain touch of social criticism, but it is so week and so covered up on awful special effects, digital visual filters and ineffective horror sequences that the importance of the messages becomes obsolete.Lots of questions stay unexplained, and the fact that the child-protagonists aren't attacked by the zombies (because they are immune to them), there isn't actually any tension in the movie. The central musical theme repeats itself along the movie, as also does and scene which is repeated at least five times with no apparent sense. Boring and ridiculous as hell. But you don't know ridiculous until you watch the ending.

Beyond Geroge Romero there has not been a zombie film that's loaded with this much social/political commentary. Jorge Olguin's 2002 follow-up to SANGRE ETERNA aka ETERNAL BLOOD is a very strong and original post-apocalyptic/Sci-fi/horror movie. For about a half a million dollars, the movie was shot in ten days, with mostly young children ranging from five to ten years old. The children's acting may not be up to par and some of the effects surely reflect the lack of budget & time but DESCENDENTS/SOLOS is a truly dark and disturbing movie set in a dystopian world that looks like a low budget mixture of 28 DAYS LATER and CHILDREN OF MEN, with strong echoes to Chile's past as a military dictatorship. Jorge Olguin is a talent to definitely keep an eye on.
