POSITIVES…

  • Out of the very crowded zombie / infected apocalypse genre movies around, this one stands out in the sense that it’s focused more on what “non-hero” characters; like everyday civilians, would probably think and do in this kind of premise.

  • The very human moments are what makes this movie feel relatable, and only makes you invested with what happens even more.

  • There are some lighthearted comedic bits that were pretty amusing.

  • When it comes to this kind of genre movie, there’s a bit of a thrill watching characters make very smart quick decisions in order to survive. That happens multiple times in this movie.

  • Last thirty minutes was as exciting as you expect it to be.

  • Elements of horror befitting this genre are present in this, and produce some good tense scenes.

  • Best argument yet, on why smartphones should not get rid of the 3.5mm headphone jack.

NEGATIVES…

  • You still got to put up with some of the stupid decisions made by the lead character.

  • A couple of plot conveniences and cliches here and there.

  • The locks for the apartment doors are a joke. I mean, seriously?

  • Most unbelievable thing about this movie are the ridiculously long battery life for their smartphones. No way. Not possible.

P.S….
