Well despite the mainly negative reviews for this movie, I did enjoy it. I am a massive fan of the zombie genre, and usually highly critical. But I did enjoy the movie.
Ok - the acting was not great, the picture wasn't great, but it was low budget, and considering how little money was spent on it, I think they done a very good job. The special effects were great, lots of gore and ripped flesh.
There was lots of little homages to the great zombie films of the past too with the take outs, characters and plot turns, and some of the set up reminded me of a computer game plot. Unlike the negative reviews, I thought the source of the outbreak had been explained, I didn't find the plot confusing at all.
It does focus around a group of teenage friends who are trying to find help when a military virus causes the dead to come back to life, and of course eat the living. The plot is not orginal, but it is a good story and hopefully the sequel will be just as good.
I think if you are a fan of zombie films, ignore the bad reviews and give this movie a go, its not the worst film you'll see this year.
