The Outbreak

A reasonably good attempt at an interactive movie. Obviously very short as it is free and just a demonstration really.

Acting was OK - a little strained in parts by the female "lead" i thought.

As far as how it is structured for interactivity the choices are a little frustrating as you have are given no real clues as to which choice would be good or bad, but hey, you get to choose a different path at any point so it is not a real problem. Also the wrong choice invariably leads you to death so there are very few routes through the movie.

The direction was reasonably good, perfectly good enough for this.

Special Effects / Makeup effects were of a reasonable to high standard - it is obviously not just some guys "hey lets make a movie - i have some rubber glue and dirt we can dress up as zombies" - they have got a professional in to make the zombies look good.

Suggestions for a future attempt of this kind Make it longer Make the choices you have to make based on some knowledge of what has preceded so they are not blind guesses. Keep the number of choices about the same - but in a longer movie (give yourself 5 mins or so before a choice). Make it so not all the choices are "good" or "bad" - make it so that some just create a different set of survivors or some other none-death route.

Anyway - not bad at all - was fun watching it and trying the different paths
