Synopsis: At the beginning of autumn, the majority of the human population falls over dead from unknown causes. The survivors have to find a way to carry on which is made more difficult when the dead begin to rise.
Year/Country: 2010, Canada
Subgenres: zombies, post-apocalyptic
Reason for watching: Zombie movie, why not?
Highlights: The evolution of the zombies - people died, a few days later started coming back to life, slowly learned to move around again, later attracted to sound, later attracted to humans as a source of food.
Lowlights: The sound editing was horrible, at times the music would drown out the actors. The video editing was pretty strange too, I don’t really like too many freeze frames in movie, it’s weird.
Rewatchabilty: no thank you.
Overall review:This is a movie premise I love - a group of survivors trying to figure out how to live in a post-apocalyptic world. This movie however just didn’t deliver. It mostly felt slow and drawn out, and very often was just boring. Perhaps the only redeeming technical aspect was the makeup; the lighting, sound, editing, everything else was just not great and, unfortunately the story and characters didn’t make up for it. However, the premise was interesting enough that I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on the book it’s based on.
