User Reviews

Not a bad Zombie movie for lovers of the genre.

By chance, I caught this movie during its premiere on The Space Channel (Canada's equivalent to the SciFi channel). I was quickly hooked into watching it, as it has several engaging characters and, for a zombie movie, a fairly good script. There are some satisfying conversations as our group of surviving humans make their way to Catalina Island, where they are sure things are better. We hear them discuss and debate the various ways to kill zombies, strategies for avoiding them, and so forth. There are some interesting twists on the standard zombie fare. For instance, "fresh ones" are more dangerous as they are not hindered by the slow stumble of the ordinary zombies with which we are all familiar.

Lots of intense zombie encounters along the way, some typical post-apocalyptic scenes (powerless abandoned cities, crashed jumbo jets, etc.) keep us engaged, and as with all movies of this and similar genres, we still have the usual annoyingly unanswered questions, like "Don't our survivors ever get thirsty?" Nonetheless, I rate this an excellent zombie movie for those that like them, more along the lines of The Walking Dead than the almost-comedic Zombieland.
