Strain 100 (2020)
2/10
zombie movie with no brains
13 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
In like the first act the main character somehow manages to survive multiple zombie attacks and a car wreck but some how her clearly false eyelashes were still in place and her hair was perfectly blown out. So that's a fairly apt indication of this movie.

It was very meh. Standard zombie plot, the sound design wasn't very good, and some of the acting choices were... well they were choices.

Ending happens in a big deus ex machina that legit comes out of nowhere like i had to rewind justto clarify what in the hell had just happened.

So bad it's hilarious
5 April 2020
Seriously, this movie is so badly made I genuinely laughed in delight.

Science Mom and Ex-army Dad need to get Tech Nerd Son and Daughter With No Actual Characteristic Beyond Being The Daughter to safety because a big solar storm is causing volcanoes, tsunamis and earthquakes that are oddly localised to LA. I know this was likely intended to be a serious action movie, but it is so horrendously bad that it loops back around to brilliance.

At one point what is supposed to be heavy debris is clearly papier-mache. A man gets a tsunami to the face. Lava somehow manages to sneak up on people. Everyone is oddly chill, and I spotted at least one actor trying not to laugh. At one point two characters that were in the middle of nowhere suddenly appear in the city. The acting is so bad that Tommy Wiseau seems like Meryl Streep in comparison. Budget was apparently half a million but looks like it was at most ten dollars and a coke.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Would recommend watching while in an altered state of consciousness.
