Much like a bag of stale chips.
Story: 2.0
Have you read the title? Have you seen the poster for the movie?
If you said yes, to both of these questions you know 90% of the story. The other ten percent is introduced, but never expanded upon.
Without spoiling anything, I can't go into any detail. But, the story loves to add in story beats and plot points to increase the tension, suspense and/or emotional value of scene. Once that scene is over, that plot point is lost in the wave of zombies. Don't expect to receive any closure from this film.
As I was watching the film, I had a thought. "Wow, this is crazy how are they going to wrap this up? They have so many story threads dangling in the wind. I wonder what happened with that characters mother?". The BAM unnecessary story twist and the movie was over.
Where is the other half of this story? What happened with out main cast of characters?
Acting/Cast: 6.5
Oh my, this is the most mixed bag of acting I have ever seen. Most of the main cast did amazing work, that really pulled you in. Some of the supporting characters acting was good, but left little impression. Then you have the main characters daughter. I get shes a kid and all but, her emotionless state through most of the movie was weird and when she did try to conjure up some emotions they felt flat and emotionless. The same goes for the rest of the background and scene actors. They have two emotions blank wall stare and yell in fear or pain.
Music: 8.0
Music is used well where its needed and never seems to be out of place. As with most of my reviews, I don't have much to say about the music of this movie. It does what it needs to do, without causing distractions.
Rewatch Value: 1.0
No....
Overall: 5.0
Overall this move is much like a bag of stale chips. It still tastes decent enough, but there are alot of other snacks out there that taste a lot better. Your not going to watch this film and leave felling satisfied. But, if your board and just want to watch some mindless zombies munch on some brains, Its not the worst thing in the world to watch, but its also not all that great either.
