Goofs

Late on in the movie, the two main characters are running through a corridor, chased by zombies. The male lead pulls the bars off a window to create a barrier. Then in another scene a few moments later, they run back down the same corridor on the way to the roof. The barrier should get in their way, but it has completely disappeared.

User Reviews

Definitely a one time watch for zombie/survival genre fans.

I am generous with an 8 cos i enjoyed the film, simple. Aint no wannabe critic. Its ur typical zombie/survival film but with less guns n weapons n less fellas. The film also doesn't pay more attention towards the gore but tension is maintained. Some say that it is similar to The Night eats the World which i havent seen yet. But this shud not deter genre fans from watching this.
