7/10
Not a zombie movie, and not what I'd expected.
21 March 2014
This is a pretty decent movie. People keep comparing it to a zombie movie, and the set-up is similar to that of a zombie movie, but this is NOT a zombie movie. A chemical explosion causes people in a town to go mad. Someone complained that they can speak. Yeah, they can speak, and reason at times. Because they're not zombies.

I thought a few scenes were pretty creepy. The scene when the main character remembers the morning the explosion happens, for one. I have always been freaked out by movies with nuclear blasts or bombs, and even though this has neither, the explosion caught my attention, and the military being there...I believe this is a pretty realistic portrayal of what would happen in a situation like the one the characters face.

This isn't an action movie. It's more like a study of what people would go through if something like this happened. They're not out of food, they're in a pretty safe place, but they're stuck, and they're waiting for rescue. It's interesting. If you're looking for a zombie movie, you're not going to like this. But if you're just looking for a decent, creepy thriller to watch one night, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
