It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

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

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Yes, you may think by reading the previous comments, this is a terribly made 'Zombieflick', but it's actually rather delightful. The characters (I Think),did their parts quite well, and brought the whole point of the plot home quite well.It may not be a 'Rob Zombie' or 'George A. Romero' classic but it held it's own as far as the Horror genre goes. Part of the set, an old fall-out shelter, was well done, which I imagined as quite a bit of work, if it was built for this movie, and if not, a great addition in discovery for the movie. Well worth adding to your collection if you are a Zombie fanatic. After all,we are all Zombie's at one time or another. We just don't eat brains. I give this a 6 of 10.

At the beginning of the film, we are informed that a war broke out and the use of biological weapons caused an epidemic which made the dead to rise. A special forces agent (one of the Cousins Brothers)is escorting America's important figures to a kind of a fallout shelter by plane. Unfortunately, the plane crashes down just a few miles before it reaches its destination. There are several survivors: Our hero, the first lady, her crippled son and her little daughter and two other women...Sounds fun, ha? Well, it is neither fun nor entertaining and it is certainly not scary. Here are some reasons why you should avoid this title: - The script is a disaster. Here are a couple of examples: Throughout the film, we witness that the crippled son can outrun both zombies and other people. There are some scenes where he is actually running! Near the end, our hero is bitten from his left hand and amputates it. A few scenes later, when he is suiting up to fix the radioactive leakage, he has his both hands back again.... - The echo in the narration was really irritating and the lines were so bad. - The dialogs were very stupid and were probably written by a 3-year-old. - The acting was horrible (The first five people you see and round up from any location could have done much better) - The ending was horrible... There is definitely nothing good about the film and I don't have enough space to write about the rest. I tried to summarize it, the best I can.

No adult with a 7th grade education could write such poor dialogue. If the screenplay had been a middle school writing assignment it wouldn't pass muster. The echo effect during the narration was very annoying. Whoever edited this craptastic piece of cinema and thought that was a good idea should be beaten in the public square. I can't see how the producers could have recouped the $1500.00 it cost to make this abomination. Blake Cousins' "acting" lacked any range of emotion. There was no change in his mood whether he was taking a smoke break, chopping up zombies, having his hand radically amputated, or stopping for a tasty snack. And didn't that fallout shelter seem to be the stock room of an auto parts store? They wasted an afternoon making this bomb and I wasted an hour and a half watching it. Thank god for BitTorrent. It wouldn't be worth the dollar at Blockbuster. For a small fee I'd be happy to proofread their next disaster and remove redundancies and replace ignorant phrases with some subtle wit.

If somebody have seen a B movie then This a Z movie. The story makes this people look like the dumbest folks in the universe. They go for straws without any apparent reason when Zombies are after them. Hey I can barely walk but lets leave the only person with a gun and go for a straw, I know lets go to a graveyard. What the F***k are they hoping to find? There are only zombies everywhere. If they walked towards their goal they would be there in a couple of hours without anyone dying. The reasons they are splitting up every time are so crazy but obviously nobody would die if they didn't split up so they do it anyway. I know this is a movie but people aren't that stupid in real life in a movie or even a comedy, maybe in a parody but i don't know anything close to this story so it is obviously an original.If they at least had any reasons to risk their lives it would be a better story. Like the story is now it's like: Wait for me here I am just going out to get infected but don't worry I will infect you as son as I return..... They could at least be looking for something important or somebody, Why would a cripple straw away with a 6 years old to a graveyard without any means to defend themselves, of course they encounter a zombie. There are zombies everywhere. The people in this movie are so stupid that you literally want to beat them up. I feel really sorry for the actors because it must have been a real challenge to play somebody this stupid. I wouldn't be able to act this stupid with a straight face, Obviously it was the first time many of them were acting and the story didn't make the acting easier.It is a Horror but you will however either laugh or cry because there is nothing scary about this movie. I believe this is the first Zombie movie ever where the Zombies are smarter then the people they are chasing, and that is a fact. They are like freaking Einstein compared to them...This movie is so bad that you have to actually watch it because of that. This movie will make history and I don't think anybody will ever make something worst. I could write compliments for ever and after watching this movie you actually need to write something or you go crazy. I have no regrets what so ever knowing then what I know now I would watch it just because it is something you have never seen before and something that you will obviously never find again.....It's impossible to explain so you have to see it for yourself......
