When Mya and Rod flee the building and head to the car you can see the corpse with the yellow blouse breathe and move. However, it is never established that it is a corpse. It could very well be someone dying, but not yet dead. See more »Quotes

Is it an original idea? No. But in this day and age how often do we see an original idea. Everything made these days is a remake or a mesh of various films or characters. Maybe I've seen to many movies. But when I watch new movies now, I can't help but trace the plot or situation back to another movie. That being said. I enjoyed watching this movie. I never questioned the characters or there motives. They had purpose, even though it was lunacy. And of course it's not your typical ending, but that's what I loved about it. Who wants to watch the same cookie cutter endings? I'm tired of the norm. This movie made an effort and I was entertained.
