Storyline

Nine years after an infection turns most of the humanity into rabid creatures, Patrick, Jack and Lu, a nine-year-old girl, survive in seeming peace and calm in the forgotten snow-covered town of Harmony. We nonetheless sense that something terrible happened between Patrick and Jack because a deep hate keeps them apart. When the infected appear again, Patrick and Jack will have to leave behind all rancor to protect the one being who means more to them than anything else.

Goofs

At some point we see Patrick(Matthew Fox) getting bitten by a creature and you can see his wounded neck when he tries to disinfect it with alcohol. Later on, when they are being attacked by many creatures in the house scene, you can clearly see that his wound is not there.

Quotes

Lu: What about geography? Did you know about geography? Let's see. In what country is the Great Wall of China?
Patrick: [acting] Oh, gosh. Uh, Mexico.
Lu: Nope. China. And do you know what language they speak there?
Patrick: [pretending to think] Uh... Chinese.
Lu: Very good. And do you know what the population is?
Patrick: Right now?
[Jack snorts, Patrick chuckles in response and the two begin to laugh]
Lu: [confused] What is it? What's so funny? Why are you laughing?
[Patrick and John are laughing harder]
Patrick: Oh, shit.

User Reviews

Such a rare thing as a good zombie movie

If you are looking for a good zombie movie look no further. This little gem is a character driven film with just the right amount of action.

This is not an action movie with zombies or a cheap independent gore- flick. This movie actually has some substance. Which can't be easy in the zombie genre.

Big thanks to the cast and director for taking the genre "seriously". This makes it a good movie and a great zombie flick.

I was even a bit surprised by the two main actors ability to cast away their regular TV acting skills and leap into film acting. Who knew they could push themselves to this level. Hope to see more of this in their future endeavors.
