Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

When a private militia's rookie zombie hunters send out a distress call, it's up to the Rangers to cross The Wall and bring them back as well as uncover the truth about a terrifying new breed of zombie.An interesting concept that is nearly ruined by incompetent directing and even worse editing. Are we sick of the shaky cam by now? I am. And to add insult to injury, the editor decided to use jumpy editing that makes you want to puke.Some of the zombie sound effects are silly and the soundtrack is horrible. The director tried to make an episodic movie but the content doesn't warrant it so you are left rather bored about a quarter way in and the running time is just an hour!!!!The acting is decent, but let's face it, there isn't much to do but scream and fight and shoot guns.I am thoroughly convinced that the couple of reviews who said the director is one to look out for have something to so with the movie.

First to say: I'm absolutely into zombie stuff. I love zombie movies - what was the reason I stumbled over this one. It is a nice movie, story line incorporates some really nice ideas. However there are two major points I wanted to criticize: First point, the actors. They play it good but one has the feeling, that they are really amateurs. I had in mind the whole time, that they might be airsoft players making a movie in their free time (for the ones aren't familiar with airsoft, just go to youtube and search for it). The military team did not look like soldiers. In fact they look quite weak and scrawny, not what I would expect from soldiers. Second shortcoming are the dialogs. I think the movie should have had more of them! The story would get more deepness and would be more convincing.However great work for an independent movie. Keep it up!

I enjoy low-budget films but more often than not I fail to endure the whole effort. Whilst this film contains some of the common and sometimes entirely understandable failings associated with low-budget features it had me glued! The camera-work, directing and special effects are for me quite brilliant. Some of the chase and action sequences entertained as well as any Hollywood Blockbuster. I smiled a few times at moments inappropriate to the script simply in appreciation of the work. I also smiled at the sometimes weak script itself and this reminded me of the film's low budget. I suspect this could have been improved upon immensely by the same team with more resources.There's references to other films to spot, humour in some of the gore, the Zombies are as well represented as any I have seen and we get two types as well!The script and dialogue sometimes let this down. The camera-work and direction more than compensate. The original score was great, especially at the end. I sat through the credits, which I rarely do and was glad I did. I was surprised at how small a team produced this, it seems several people had multiple role's in the production. I hope to see more of David M Reynold's work in anticipation of great things.

Considering that this is a low-budget movie, the special effects are quite good, completely exceeding my expectations. However, I wish the script had been better. The movie has no real plot. It's 50 minutes of soldiers shooting zombies (and that's the only reason why I included the spoiler warning in this review... if you know this, you basically know the whole movie). It felt like being in a zombie video game. Perhaps the only interesting thing is that these particular zombies are faster than regular.The last scene (after the credits) aims to give an interesting turn to the story... but it remains in the "completely predictable" area. In summary, instead of watching this movie, just play a zombie video game. It's more entertaining.
