5/10
Below par FX with above average writing.

I'll make this short and sweet.

People that gave this 1 star need to watch more movies.

That being said, this is an average low-budget flick. The special effects are below par, relying heavily on very poor CGI, especially towards the end. There are some decent "low-tech" effects scattered throughout.

Also, it is shot in HD and not on film, which only makes it look cheaper.

The acting is a mixed bag with some really good acting and some really bad acting, but mostly the acting is average.

The writing is quite good, which is refreshing for a low-budget zombie movie. It seems like the writers actually bothered to come up with some plot twists of their own, which is uncommon for the ridiculously derivative zombie genre. Even if some of their ideas didn't pan out so well in the film, they still get points for not just puking out the same mind-numbing crap you usually get with these kind of movies.

The characters are well-developed and actually seem like real people.

Overall, worth a rent if you have some time to kill, but I wouldn't buy it.
