Story: A teenage girl in the Midwest becomes infected by an outbreak of a disease that slowly turns the infected into cannibalistic zombies. During her transformation, her loving father stays by her side.
Likes : First of all if you go into this film think that this is going to be the typical zombie film with bullet flying & Arnold kick a** & kicking some zombie butts in a all action film, you will be disappointed as this zombie film take on a more human approach to the zombie genre with a character driven story that's not only emotional but very disturbing in places.
The story revolves around Wade (Arnold) daughter Maggie (Abigail Breslin) who is bitten during a zombie out break is slowly being transforms from human to zombie as the virus takes over, Arnold performance as a loving father is brilliant in the way he plays this role show a believable character as a father who is on the verge of losing his daughter.
The emotion he show in his acting here is outstanding for the scene, where this film dose get emotional concept of loss a daughter which is one of the most painful thing any parent can go through as the parents arnt meant to bury their child it really dose bring you to tear as you feel the emotion of the scene.
Abigail Breslin as Maggie is just brilliant her acting portraying a dying teenage trying to keep strong while knowing she will turn is just amazing acting, the way they did her transformation is brilliant from scene to scene as she become less human & more zombie as the virus take holds.This transformation is brilliant shown in this film which give this zombie genre a different take, giving it a more human feel than just change straight away this is just added by the performance of Abigail who brilliant performed this role.
The film as a whole can be a little draggy at time as the pace is a little slow but for a character driven story this is to be expected as it gives a more in-depth look at the characters emotions & what they are going through to sell the story to the audience. All though this film dose look as if it just a drama film there are a few intense moment's that make's this a horror film although this film dosent have the feel of walking dead or world war z there are a few moments of seeing zombies.
The filming of the films style is very bleak & dark some what depressing mood of despair as you do see alot of people suffering & dying from the virus as well as the scene with Maggie & wade its a very bleak dark mood film than a up lifting film so beware of that if you watch this.
All in all for what this film is its a very good film to watch but you need to just relax & enjoy the film let the story soak in to really enjoy it, but if your looking for a action style film this will not be a film you will enjoy as ive said before it a character driven story & not a action film.
Dislikes : This film is good, although though my only compete here really is there could of been more in the story even those the film revolves around the character Maggie, there is no explanation to where the virus came from which is the plot hole really in the film but apart from that the rest of the film is actual good if you like character driven story telling.
Overall : A very dark bleak story, great acting, character driven story that gives a more human side to the zombie genre.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.8 out of 10 for story concept.
