- Quotes
Richard Landro: [approximate quote I don't have the movie avail to check, I'll tweak accordingly when I do, or if anyone is has it by all means] Don't look at horror movies as just a bunch of zombie films, if you pay attention to what they really are, you might find something you love

I was hoping that this would be a random, new gem that wasn't really advertised, but that expectation was not met. It's not that this was a terrible movie because I did enjoy myself. It just didn't hit the spot. It felt a little like a B-movie filmed by students just starting out on their filmmaking journey.
The film is described as being a comedy-horror. It definitely has its moments (limited) in how funny it actually is. A light chuckle with a snort here and there. The scare factor is really non-existent as I was caught off-guard, maybe, three times.
The acting felt non-committal. No big, or even little, shows of emotion including fear, happiness, friendship, or love. I liked the actors in their roles. They were definitely suited for them. Just believing they were in the situation and felt something for each other would've been nice.
The story is what intrigued me to check out the film. I never watched the trailer going in so the expectations were purely based on the synopsis. The way the zombies come about are different than what I have ever seen before, as well as their mannerisms, which also confused me slightly.
Overall, I didn't hate the film, but I didn't love it either. I left the theatre feeling meh. Honestly, "Community" (tv series) has done better films in thirty minutes than what this one did in ninety. The story can stay the same, but the acting needs to be better, more passionate. I can't even recommend checking this out on a cheap night as 5/8 people in my showing left before the end. I will admit, slightly, that I may not be seeing it for its full worth, and it may be a nugget, but for now it has to deal with being a middle of the road film in my eyes.
That's all for now. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Until next time.... Enjoy the show!
