Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
I didn't know what to expect at all, except something fabulous, given Tananarive Due's stories and novels. I rarely read anything in the horror genre, and I absolutely never watch horror movies, ever! I got so scared at one point in this short film I had to hit pause and summon the courage to continue. I am amazed by the suspense and the investment I felt in the characters so quickly. Faison and Scott are both perfect. There is a finesse here that I love, a way of giving the viewer the feeling of having caught something out of the corner of her eye, but not being sure of what she saw. And then these perfectly timed horrifying images that the camera stays with exactly long enough--not a gaze so fixed on the visual details of horror that it prevents one from connecting the image to the psychological trauma in the characters' world. Brilliant. I want more!
This movie is well worth a look for a few reasons.As a short movie in the horror genre, it builds tension, suspense, plot and character in 20 minutes.It was made via social crowd funding.It featured heartbreaking performances by veteran character actor Frankie Faison and young Saoirse Scott as grand-father and grand daughter fighting for survival.It adds new twists to a crowded sub-genre of horror: zombies.It was written by Steven Barnes ( a sci-fi novelist and screenwriter ) and Tananarive Due (also a novelist) based upon a book they co-wrote.Check it out!
