rory mettle I just watched this on Netflix. Despite all the negative reviews, I understood what this film was trying to do. It just simply didn't have the budget for the grand-scale it was trying to achieve. Some of the acting wasn't there and the fx were just okay while other parts were killer, but I thought the story was very entertaining. If this movie had been given a real budget with decent actors, it would have been great. I consider it a step above the typical sci-fi channel stuff you see out there. I also thought it was a fresh approach to the typical zombie film. This isn't going to be an award winner but its certainly a fun film to relax to on the weekend.

hailtothevictorz ...this would be perfect MST3K fodder if that show was still on the air. Hallee should have turned to porn instead of making this career move, it would be less embarrassing. The special effects are hilarious: they look like they're filmed through water, blurred to cover any mishaps. One chase scene looked like a Scooby Doo cartoon. Watch the things in the filler scenes where the characters really have nothing to do but stare or fidget until the director finally, mercifully pulls his camera away. Why the heck does the hero hold his sword backward through the entire thing? Is that the equivalent of holding a pistol sideways? Anyway, the acting is awkward and wooden, and the dialog could have been written by a ten-year-old. Utter dreck.

maohmex2004 I know there are fans of this film, but is not my case. Even when I saw FX directly from Videocopilot tutorials for AE that I could make much better than the film, there is no storyline in this movie. I found it very bored and some characters don't have any personality. I think that director/writer Brian A. Metcalf needs some lessons of how to make a sci-fi movie like a pro and not like an amateur project of college, full of shaking, bad movement displacement, bad lightning and so on.Another bad point of this movie is that a lot of explanations are missed. Come on!! Mr. Director, my imagination doesn't work as yours!. Maybe such answers are still flying in his head. Nonsense ending with guess what… BAD ACTORS TOO!!. Thomas Ian Nicholas .. American Pie times are over... so as you are… . I wish you better luck in your next film.

lpevatel I saw the movie tonight and enjoyed it a lot so here's my take: Pro's: Good special effects (especially for a horror movie). Excellent hour and and a half and more more specifically, great pacing (especially the last 20 or so minutes, which are "rewind material."). Good combination of humor, action, and gore (I'd say there's far more action though (the vfx and action sequences alone are some of the most ambitious I have seen in years and there are some momentary comedic relief scenes, like Makenzie Rosman's use of "adult language" (such a contrast to seeing her as Ruthie in Seventh Heaven)). The use of gore in this movie is just enough to wet the palate of any true genre fan (the last scenes with Sarah killing her own mother when she "turns" is freakishly impossible not to watch. The new actor, Jordan Matthews is beyond convincing as one of the next possible action heroes, as there are far better and more convincing action sequences here than even a movie like Blade. For once, we have a young actor who isn't afraid to get hurt, beat up, and bloodied. Great performance, by genre fave, Brad Dourif (as to be expected). Cons: There could have been stronger story, plot, and character development, so that we got to know a more in depth storyline (maybe it's set up as though we are to discover this in the sequels as the ending most definitely lends itself to insinuating a continued storyline). Also, we basically jump right into the action within the first five minutes of the film, so there isn't much time to set up the storyline (some of this is made up for in the flash back sequences). Also, some of the scenes are so epic, that they make an unusual contrast to some of the "day" scenes in the town. Overall, this is a great popcorn flick.
