Chrysalis (2014)
Pretty good
This Z-Apocalypse movie is a lot better than most of the other low budget films in the genre. I simply don't understand the hate that some reviewers exhibit in their reviews and comments. What are they creating? What are they doing with their free time... other than leaving nasty remarks on IMDB about other people's projects? (The first time I saw this film was a few years ago when IMDB still had message boards, and the comments being left kinda ticked me off as they really were undeserved).
Anyway, I just re-watched it and here's my take fwiw. The film starts with a young couple trying to get by in a desolate environment. They come across another survivor and slowly all hell starts to break loose, but the movie ends on a satisfying tone.
It's not perfect, but as someone who has seen hundreds of zombie films, I appreciate movies that try to do something a little different than the typical "run for your life" theme in this genre.
If you're looking for adrenaline and explosives, this is not that film. But if you enjoyed the movie "The Battery" and "Maggie", you will probably enjoy this one.
