Alright, as I said it's one of those mockumentary type films. I'm generally not into those movies. Cloverfield was okay, I enjoyed Diary of the Dead but this movie was fucking terrible.
It's essentially three different stories, very weakly linked together, in one film. However because of this, I hardly knew half the characters' names, didn't connect with anyone, the acting was poor. Really, the only thing I felt this movie do right was the make-up. For a low budget it was really well done, and the head shots were pretty good too.
So, we have a rambling narrative that ends with a stupid torture scene with a zombie, and leaves about a dozen plot threads just dangling. I felt zero closure when this film wrapped, and it didn't even feel like they were opening for a sequel. There was no pace, everything just... happened. I was bored, utterly.
I also can't get over how characters holding the fucking camera would look about and see a few zombies shambling about, but not tell their friends looking in the opposite fucking direction, and during fights with zombies, while everyone was shooting, these people would sit there and film in night vision, looking at zombies coming on that no one else could see.
Sure there were some interesting ideas presented, like the people having to wash the bottom of their shoes before going into the house to cleanse off any possible infection, but they also had to include pretty much event on the zombie movie checklist.
-killed a little child
-killed a loved one turning into a zombie
-zombie feasting scene
-random close up of creeping zombie standing there
and so on and so forth, and none of these presented in interesting ways, partially because of their mockumentary style, the camera was shaking all over the damned place.
