Stephen King can write good sentences here and there, even paragraphs, but god does he not understand anything else. He certainly doesn't have anything interesting to say. As usual with a King based script, be prepared for some of the most awkward characters and dialog you've ever heard. This was a passable apocalypse movie until it started taking itself seriously. Yes, this is a "zombie" movie, but the "zombies" here are not actually dead, which was a relief. There is no excuse anyone can conceive of that would enable dead creatures to be walking about, let alone eating things, and not getting consumed by, well, all the things on this earth that consume dead things very efficiently and quickly. Anyway, the film meanders around for about 90 minutes and then it ends. And the ending is so terrible one wonders why they even made this. King never knows how to end anything, so he goes for the cheapest shot imaginable. So long as it's "unexpected" King thinks it's good. The problem is, King always tries for the shock or unexpected ending and most always it has nothing to do with the story or is some revelation that is introduced just to end the movie, out of nowhere. It's not good. Don't bother watching this.
