After reading the the reviews I took the time to see the movie. What a disappointment. Well made, reasonably budgeted, not terrible acting, what started out as a promising movie turned into a monster movie thriller of zero depth after 10 minutes. There was a good shock scare in the first twenty minutes, after wards, all the horror relied on gore and camera angles because the story lost any sensible momentum and direction and proceeded in a direction that reeks of lazy writing and a "just get it into the theaters" attitude. If you are looking for a thriller with a message, keep looking. Battlefield Earth had more of a message than this film, at least it had a betrayal. I gave it 5 stars because its better than a B film, but if I was rating it on what it claimed to be, it would have earned only 1. The ending was also weak. Filmmakers should be aware that writing a weak and confusing ending is not the same as being artistic and creative. Its like they hope viewers are all so dimwitted and will be so confused that they think its awesome because its beyond their comprehension, except that in this movie there is nothing to comprehend. Its a shame because the opening moments gave promise and hope for a good film.
NOTE: I think kids will LOVE this film. Parents must determine if they are mature enough to handle watching because the only message contained in the film is that British soldiers become rapists in times of zombies (poor taste). It will keep them up for nights on end terrified of the dark.
