Descendents (II) (2008)

Being the first is not an excuse for sucking at movie making

Warning: Spoilers
Nothing... absolutely NOTHING excuses the big plot holes this story has. I had the opportunity to watch this movie on the first public exhibition made in Chile, and although the previous movies of director Olguin weren't good, i had faith in him becoming mature enough to make a convincing and sustainable movie, but i was both disappointed and sad to find myself laughing instead of being scared, and to watch more than the half of the public leaving the place before the half of the film. Believe me. People just stood up from their sits and left the hell out of there in anger. The film has a certain touch of social criticism, but it is so week and so covered up on awful special effects, digital visual filters and ineffective horror sequences that the importance of the messages becomes obsolete.

Lots of questions stay unexplained, and the fact that the child-protagonists aren't attacked by the zombies (because they are immune to them), there isn't actually any tension in the movie. The central musical theme repeats itself along the movie, as also does and scene which is repeated at least five times with no apparent sense. Boring and ridiculous as hell. But you don't know ridiculous until you watch the ending.
