So fcken SLOW to start, with nothing at all to indicate it will be anything but generic cr@p.
It does get a little interesting after a bit, though…the silent zombie screams are cool.
This movie dares to be boring, no doubt; but by about 31 minutes in I actually WANTED to keep watching.
42:26 – ’28 Days Later’ ripoff.
Sort of like ’28 Days Later’, actually, except that the intro-and-subsequent-solo-guy-plus-infected/zombies-only interaction goes on ’til about 1:02:15.
Hmmmmm…’Cast Away’ vibes? He does have a Wilson-ish partner.
He’s pretty good, actually. It’s KIND OF different, that’s gotta be worth SOMETHING by now with zombie movies.
Definitely interesting near the ending, with a pretty cool metaphor.
1:15:40 – END: Pay close attention.
This one actually makes you think, the “caged” metaphor being only the most obvious of them.
By the end, I’m surprised…pretty good stuff. Give it a shot if you have any interest in this genre.
I’d like to give it a higher grade, I really would…but there’s just too much dull, filler-type buildup.
Cut this down to an hour or so, it’s a B+.
That’s necessary filler/minor hint of things to come/necessary filler/minor hint of things to come/etc…/10 minute ending montage.
Grade: B-
