Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Scotty Burke
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

LAST OF THE LIVING is an ultra-cheap zombie comedy in which a group of slackers go around and bump off members of the living dead in the wake of an apocalypse. Yes, it's a cheap derivative of SHAUN OF THE DEAD, made without any of the laughs, the wit, the gore, or indeed the technical prowess of the film-makers. And this is from a guy who doesn't even particularly like SHAUN OF THE DEAD.LAST OF THE LIVING is a Kiwi film although it's a far cry from the solid genre fare that used to come out of New Zealand - Peter Jackson's BRAINDEAD being a shining example. The whole thing is so cheap it looks like it was filmed on somebody's video camera with a group of buddies (and non-actors) standing in for the fellow cast members. There's not a single funny moment throughout the lengthy running time, and by the time we reach the end I was feeling extremely frustrated at having sat through a film so lacking in originality, a film without a single thing to say or distinguish itself from anything else in the over-crowded sub-genre of film-making.

While this wasn't the worst movie I've seen...it definitely wasn't the best. Taking into account the budget- it's not bad. Interesting premise.I'm thankful I found it on Netflix and didn't actually spend like 5 bucks on it. As a film student- I was just shocked at the editing mistakes and shots out of focus... and continuity wise a few errors, and parts of the movie dropped frame, (it went black), instead of progressing to the next shot...As a car lover- you can just tell the sounds were obviously stock sounds- (meaning not from the actual car, just out of whatever program they used be it sound blaster or whatnot...) There are ways to edit this and find appropriate sounds: for example the car was moving, obviously no down-shifting happened and the sound you hear is a down-shift...Little rough, but not a bad effort for the money put into it.

At first i couldn't quite pinpoint what was annoying me so much about this movie, but then it suddenly hit me. it was Ashleigh Southam overacting his part so bad it made me hope he got killed off every time a zombie came on the screen. The rest of the movie (although a rip off) would have given me exactly what I expected (something to kill some time) if he wouldn't have been in it. Even if this movie had an original storyline the guy would still annoy me to death.And then of course as mentioned before it is weird that they seem to have no problem bashing a group of zombies at one point then later on they cant take on one lonely zombie.

Wow... So this film was so boring. I rented it because it looked like it would be up the same alley as Shawn of the Dead, but aside from zombies and jokes they are in NO way comparable.The production values were low enough to be a distraction for one. The acting was lame for two. The story was boring for three.. ugh! I spent five bucks to rent this film and I feel totally cheated. If I had ANYTHING else to do, I never would have finished it. I was happy when the credits rolled.Okay, I've ranted I feel better. So why a 3 star not a 1? It's not the worst movie I've ever seen. Also, there were on very seldom occasions a few laughs. Mostly the movie was just laughable though.DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
