Starts out interesting enough, if a bit clichéd. When the girl takes a sharp turn off the road and traps herself in her car the film takes a turn toward interesting...and then slides into unbelievable, and then down to tedious, continuing to the depths of tediously unbelievable, before tumbling with a splat into the sucky-tank. There are some decent scenes in the trapped vehicle which are then disrupted by flashbacks revealing unlikable characters and unbelievable relationships. Then everything decent about the post apocalyptic sequence is hurled out the window as the pain of a broken leg is, for the most part, forgotten; monster behavior is inconsistent (supposedly hates a flashlight beam but will move toward a brighter flare pointing at it?) and even the leads ability to aim a gun, or a willingness to use it effectively varies as the "script" requires. Cap that off with the stupidest, least believable or logical ending I have seen in decades! I understand it's supposed to add unexpected depth but it is so far fetched and contrived, and worse, rather obvious before it occurs, that it is the thinnest thought passing itself off as an idea.
And it didn't help that, not only did I hate the lead character, I thought the actress playing her was equally bad.
I kinda hate myself for watching it.
Life is wayyyyyyyyy too short.
