Save your money for something good and enjoyable

One of my all time favorites.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The main male have no problem shooting one of the people he spent months with, nor a soldier, but have issues with killing a guy rapeing hi wife. The wife was downright unlikable, in the beginning she just wants everyone to stay in the barn and wait on her effeminate husband. She could've just left a note telling him where they went. /Netflix needs to do something about these crappy 3rd party movies or they're going to have one less customer.

The plot: After being abandoned by their group, two struggling survivors of a zombie apocalypse find salvation in the form of a highly competent stranger who offers to help them.Evie and John, a married couple, don't seem cut out to survive a post-apocalyptic world full of zombies. Both are academics, and they have little skill at foraging, surviving, or managing stress. Enter Charlie, a man who seems to be doing quite well for himself. He's got a rifle, car, supplies, and knows where to find more. He doesn't seem to want anything but a place to stay and companionship.From this point, the film becomes a psychological thriller. John and Evie become increasingly dependent on Charlie, and the story becomes more concerned with their relationships than it does the zombies, who become more of a background element. It's not too different from your stereotypical psychological thriller, but the Australian setting and occasional zombie attack may make it interesting enough for viewers tired of Cape Fear ripoffs.There are a few scenes that seem to drag on a bit. In one particular scene that kind of bothered me, Evie wanders through their dark and foreboding shelter, calling out quietly to John. Alright, a bit of suspense is good. But the scene just seemed to go on forever. I kept thinking to myself, "This is time that could have been spent on character development. Or plot. Or anything, really." Overall, the atmosphere was pretty good, but the intensity had a tendency to morph into melodrama at times.The characters are a bit frustrating at times, but if you're willing to cut them some slack and see this as a character study rather than zombie-killing outing, it's a lot more interesting. The original Dawn of the Dead packed a lot of action, character development, and satire into its runtime, and that's my gold standard for a horror film. This doesn't quite measure up, but it's not even trying to be an action film. For fans of slow-burn dramas, this will be a more enjoyable experience, as long as they can overlook the low budget.I guess it comes down to how tired you are of low budget zombie films and how much tolerance you have for slow-paced psychological thrillers. I'm fine with the latter, but low budget zombie films are becoming a bit tiresome. I'll still watch them, of course, but I've lost a great deal of enthusiasm for them in the past five years. I liked how stark and gritty this film was without becoming exploitative, but it wasn't exactly the most original thing ever.

Be warned..this is not The Walking Dead. This film is more of a character study and the "zombies" are basically there so the two main characters end up in the situation they are in, not as the main focus of the film. I've seen plenty of films where a zombie apocalypse occurs only for people to suddenly turn in Rambo-like weapons and combat specialists. This film is more like how people would actually react. The woman was a survivor but scared, wanting to be protected and the man was weak and ineffectual. She desperately wanted him to be her protector and he couldn't and was in fact, more than happy to leave her to her fate as was demonstrated on a number of occasions. Even when he tried to save her, he couldn't see it through. There was a little bit of gore but no more than was required for the story and mostly it was a human drama but for me, raised an interesting point about our expectations of men in that should they have to sacrifice themselves to protect women? A fascinating little film that bucks the the trend of having the hero role as there were no heroes in this.

I had some expectations to this movie as I like zombie and apocalyptic movies. I saw the rating and read the review and I thought to myself that this would be something worth seeing. I was so wrong. I had to create my account here to come and warn other people from watching this. The acting was horrible (except for the main woman actress), story was poor and illogical. I wonder why this movie was even made. There seemed to be some potential to create a decent zombie movie but somehow after 10 minutes it seemed to me that the director just hurried quickly to finish it or just didn't care. The movie just didn't make any sense and it was full of clichés and even they didn't work.Don't waste your time watching this.
