So the movie isn't to bad practical effects wise.
better effects then I expected for time and budget though some of the gore was very over the top. Clearly they had a limited budgest so they used set and style to hide limitations pretty well.
Movie opens with a 'chase' scene of a not SWAT team hearding a woman in scrubs into the woods and kiling her. Then it slows to a stop.
Slow meandering scenes of a collage class, then finding a flyer, then chilling in a dorm then arguing with a friend about going to a party then going through screening for a medical experiment then three jobs then arriving at a clinic. And it just keeps going but with nothing going on, it becomes this mind numbing drone of things that have no meaning to the movie but padding. It's not till the last third of the movie that it picks up into fun stupid movie junk but even then the plot itself is an 'idiot' plot It only works because every character is an idiot.
They even go through the trouble of establishing that two characters had done medical testing for money before, neither show any nerves or discomfort at the way this test is being run.
I would have liked to see more of the group but it's all basic stereotypes so you don't lose anything by not getting more about them.
While the creatures ate meant to be Undead, the characters have no way to know that and it's not even made clear to the audience untill much later.
I also find stories where everyone dies at the end frustrating. There are a couple dropped plot threads, you find out two of the characters where given a counter agent. It's implied but never outright stated on of them is Curtis, but the second one is never named and the closer you get to the end you feel like the writers jusy said "nvrmnd fam."
