Review:
There’s nothing of value here. The careening storylines, switching between the wife and daughter adjusting to the move, the wife’s desire to start a new relationship, the dealers trying to distribute the new drug they’ve stumbled upon, or the couple who are trying to make ends meet, are all so bland and uninteresting that there’s no hope for the film to build any interest. Even worse, they drag on for so long when they keep shifting gears that there’s a dreary, stupefyingly dull pace that it brings about the zombies so late in the film that no one cares about them.
Outside of the lame storyline, the attempts at hour are so poorly handled it’s outright laughable. The fateful party that spreads everything is flat and bland as it takes forever to get the outbreak going dealing with subplots between the guests no one cares for, the scenes of the swarming zombies are so inept they barely qualify as genre thrills, and with a decided lack of blood or gore really look unfulfilling as it just sputters along until the end. Combined with a cheap look and barely anything happening outside of this swarming sequence, this was absolutely dreadful on every level.
Overview: *.5/5
A failure on every level, this one has absolutely nothing for anyone with a dull pace, uninteresting storylines, a lack of genre thrills, a cheap look, and no redeeming factors to overcome them. This should be forgotten about and ignored by everyone as quickly as possible.
