Goofs

When the lab technician wakes up when Brooke is controlling the zombie patient he fires his gun into him and unloads the chamber including a few clicks to mean he's out of bullets. Moments later when Brooke breaks free with the help of the lab technician who is now a zombie and whom she is controlling, she grabs his holstered gun and shots him in the head. He had no time to reload therefore the gun should be empty.

Quotes

Benny: Is he alright? Is he ok?

User Reviews

Very Entertaining!

It was very entertaining indeed. As far as Zombie apocalypse movies go this was quite enjoyable to watch. The effects were good and it kept you guessing along the way as to what might happen next. I love Zombie movies and this was a very decent effort and acting was good as well. The characters were likable and quite funny to watch. Some of the things they do and/or find seemed pretty far-fetched but once you get into it you don't really care just because it was enthralling to watch anyway. Some parts seemed as if it was inspired by the Purge Anarchy but not to a point that you'd mind. If anything it kinda leaves you wanting for some more. I would love to see what happens next!
