Although it's only 92 minutes long, it's a LONG 92 minutes. For some reason, it just loses all momentum once she's walking through the desert with the zombie following her. These scenes go on and on and on and on. We get it. And her motivation to walk 30 miles to the airstrip I was never really clear on; the desire to reach her child would have been much more intense and added some needed suspense to the film. But I did enjoy her character arc and her relationship with the zombie. I just wish the filmmaker had settled on a tone since it skipped around from farce to drama to horror to slapstick comedy and never seemed to find its footing until the end. I recommended it but it could have used a little more story or a little more editing.

I watched this at home (HBO, I think). Anyway, as soon as I discovered this was a zombie flick, I grabbed the remote and spun through the channels - nothing. Screw it, I decided to watch yet another goddamned zombie movie. So glad I did. The beginning, say the first 20 minutes, was nothing much. The zombie introduces itself and the next morning a Vegas stripper, Brittany Allen, is on the run...well actually she's just outpacing the clumsy zombie with a steady gait through the middle of the Mohave, all the while talking to the suit-and-tie clad walking corpse. There's a sand storm followed by a pretty graphic rape scene, but the movie picked up nicely after the stripper gets the zombie to pull his weight via a rope, an inflatable raft and a tire. Now, we got black humor. Now, we got something. After that, the flick just motors along nicely, and we discover that Brittany Allen can actually act! She spins flawlessly through a series of emotions right up to the final scene. Yeah, I still hate zombie movies, but this really wasn't one. This was a thriller/black comedy with a zombie as second banana.

From reading the ratings on this site, I expected very little from this movie. My expectations, in fact, were just to kill time. First, this is not a zombie movie. In this movie, Zombies are the background or backdrop. Second, the actress does an amazing job of getting views to dislike her as she thoughtlessly moves through a zombie outbreak. Then things turn (no spoilers here you have to watch) and she becomes someone I started to root for. I thought this was in interesting complement to the typical zombie stories that I watch.

I never watch movies like this but I watched this one because Brittany Allen is in it, and I loved it. Brittany is in almost every minute of this film and she is amazing. I was pleasantly surprised by the high production values, the locations were great, the music was perfect, the photography was first class, the unfolding story line became more complex and interesting with flashbacks, it was all good. I'll watch it again and recommend it.
