Ok, it's a dumb zombie movie where a lot of people repeatedly make stupid decisions and predictably get eaten. The dialogue is cheesy more often than not. I'm not sure anyone on the set other than Yeager has actually handled a gun. The plot is suspect at times. Some of the characters are behind stereotypical. But there's a lot of shooting, the zombies eat people and there's a lot of action. And it's better than most zombie movies out there and it didn't quite end like I thought it would.

It's on a budget and cinematography is fine. They chose a style for photography, camera work is good so you can watch this flick and not feel it low budget actually.However, characters are one dimensional and stereotypical. You won't feel attached to any of them which in a zombie movie can be good, people die, but you won't care much neither.The plot isn't smart, it borrows the two main ideas from two other famous movies in this genre you most certainly have already seen. It also suffer probably by some cuts that left out some scenes that might have helped understand more. Sometimes you wonder a little what's happening. The movie also doesn't offer any background on what kind of apocalypse is and what are these human creatures that drop if shot in the chest not like zombies and burn in daylight like vampires. ???.All in all there's a lot of good action and we don't need a lot of plot to make a watchable genre's movie, but bad characters and boring although scarce dialogues make this movie a little uninteresting and 20 minutes too long.

These low budget films get passed over by many. This production was top shelf and the acting is good, good story line, and the filming, angles, shots and method was great.Lance Henrikson, a veteran of some of the finest movies made stands out as the lead along with Johnny Strong. Strong played Sgt. Shugart in Blackhawk Down years ago. Solid actor and plays out the enigmatic lead protagonist. Special effects are great, makeup, and weaponry was excellent ! If you're a weapons person, you'll see every known assault weapon, sniper rifle, pistol, etc. you can think of. The actors were handling those weapons like they knew what they were doing. Shows a lot of prep by the production company. Cops and Military will appreciate all of this.Movies like this makes you wonder...what happens if society breaks down, how people react and groups banding together to survive from others.

Solid horror/survival flick. The action is fast-paced but also balanced by eerie calm before the storm, the cinematography is well done and not over the top (no crazy camera jerking or 200fps shots where you can't see what's actually going on on the screen), the scenery is excellent 'cept a few minor kinks here and there and the music is very nice too.I guess the real minus would be the lack of character development, lack of backstory and no real sense of scarcity or lack of resources, judging by the fact they seem to have loads of ammo and fuel and somehow they manage to find pretty much brand new cars and a bus after 3 years of apocalypse. Costume design is kinda amateurish and doesn't fit the scenery since everything they wear is basically brand new without a scratch or tear (with obligatory black motorcycle shades). There's also this gang of marauders slapped onto the story as if they felt zombie-vampires were not enough to hold the suspense, which I find unnecessary and it kinda spoils the narrative.However I like the fact that characters themselves are hardened by and fully aware of the gravity of the situation, there are no sob stories or soap opera romances and everyone pretty much knows it's about survival first and everything else later, so they stick together and do their part. Acting is decent, cast is amazing (but I might be biased since Lance Henriksen and Hakeem Kae-Kazim are in my eyes great in every movie; there are also a few to me new appearances which I found enjoyable) and overall the feel of the movie is pretty dreadful which is exactly how you want to feel when watching a post-apocalyptic survival movie.I have a feeling there are great movies yet to come from William Kaufman, especially if he gets a solid budget to work with.Overall score: 6.5/10 (pretty damn good for today's standards, definitely worth the watch for apocalypse fans)P.S. I don't feel I can give it 7/10 so unfortunately I have to go with 6 since the scoring system is kinda unforgiving.
