Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Kingkitsch Somehow, I watched "Autumn" since it appeared in the streaming service I use. While studiously avoiding all zombie flicks for a long while, it seemed that this incredibly bad movie might finally offer something different. I was wrong. Really wrong."Autumn" is (and owes everything) to a lost and forgotten flick by Arch Oboler made in 1951, "Five". Ostensibly one of the first, if not THE first film to speculate the aftermath of nuclear war. "Five" eschews the dead in favor of the living, as "Autumn" tries to do. Survivors of a global tragedy pick up the pieces and try to go on. "Five"is a shrewd little movie, only showing the remains of the unlucky in one riveting scene. "Autumn" attempts to copy this idea, by focusing on the survivors of some kind of viral epidemic; the resulting zombies from the holocaust are kept at bay until the movie runs out of steam and then attempts to scare the viewer with some eat-em-up action. The climax of this foolish exercise from Canada is ripped off completely from "Night of the Living Dead" and reaches some ambiguous ending that you can't bring yourself to care about. The end titles are pretty and seem to have some kind of medical message about the viral epidemic by showing microscopic somethings wiggling around in psychedelic colors. The living protagonists in "Autumn" are not as smart as they appear to be at first. If they were smart, there would be no movie. We wait around for nearly two hours until something happens that could have been avoided. The time period here is murky, as autumn moves into winter. How many winters? Why do the two male leads never shave, yet their facial hair stays the same trendy stubble/neck beard? No mention is made of exactly how the three survivors live other than raiding for supplies in a conveniently nearby town, but in a burst (the only burst) of deviating from the norm, not one of the two men hit on the lone woman. These three idiots know that sound attracts the undead, yet they lounge around in the "safe" house eating snacks and watching movies at night. Evidently, the twist here is that in the beginning the undead are just "meatsuits" that wander around rotting off the bone, but by the end of this exercise in stupidity, they're full-fledged Romero zoms looking to make fajitas out of the dummies who should have left instead of holing themselves up in an isolated farmhouse. Gee, that doesn't sound familiar at all, does it?Skip this junk as I should have. It's slow, attempts to be meaningful, and ends up being the same as every other zombie movie out there. Oh yeah, a puppy gets eaten by the undead, which is not something anyone wants to see. A cheap gimmick that pretty much sums up the fear factor in this stupid movie from the Great White North. Also, a slobbering clown appears to stoke your clownaphobia. No more zombies!!

langallenreeves This is a nice break from all the zomedies out there, even though i do enjoy a good zomedy. But this movie is serious and somber, the world has ended. I notice a lot a really bad reviews, but 'worst zombie movie' is a ridiculous title to give this movie (for the worst zombie movies that aren't worth watching, see Redneck Zombies or Pot Zombies or Zombie Diaries). However, if you're looking for gore, comedy, or action/thriller, then Autumn is not the movie for you. It is very slow, similar to classic horror films. At first almost everyone dies.....no one knows why,and yes, i don't know how a viral outbreak could be so quick, but the characters in the film acknowledged that....but no one is left alive to work on finding out what happened. A good bit of the movie is the waiting for zombies to happen, which adds a nice bit of suspense. We the viewer know this is a zombie movie, so we know the dead will come back to life. But the dead initially just stay dead, so no one suspects that they will become zombies, and then at first when the rise, they aren't violent yet. So there is a long time building up to having zombies...over half the movie. The movie is more about people's feelings and reactions to the end of the world. Some good dialogue, although the sound recording makes it hard to hear some people when they're talking softly.As for the somber zombie movies, Exit Humanity is better than Autumn, but Autumn is still a good movie. I've enjoyed it 3 times so far, and I'm sure I'll watch it again.

divit_king1 When I read the summary to this movie I thought that it would be a descent SciFy, but after watching it, I don't think a 1 is a low enough rating for it. They didn't explain anything, and it was just everywhere.Only watch this movie if it is to torture someone, because honestly, it is worse than the Chinese dripping torture. I don't think I can write ten lines about this movie so here I go on talking about absolutely nothing that has to do with anything. Maybe if you stare hard enough at the screen, it will distract you from the fact that I am blabbing on about nothing.

Poposhka This movie isn't terrible, but it definitely has "student project" written all over it. The director tries to be artsy at times, but it mostly just comes off as cheap and transparent. The plot line is a bit dull, and it seems the film is trying to convey the inner struggles of the survivors through telepathy and body language - which turns out not to be a great screen concept. In the end, this movie could have been made a silent film.The movie follows the classic "everyone dies what do we do now?" concept, but the only characters that are even vaguely likable and interesting are drowned in a sea of mediocre acting by their co actors. I'm referring to Carradine and Fletcher, who are trying to save their colleagues from a fate worse than being eaten alive by the living dead - being eaten alive by armchair movie critics.The character Emma, played by Lana Kamenov, is absolutely mind numbingly annoying. I blame part of it on the script, but everything from the delivery of the lines to how she moves on camera is unimpressive. Watching Kamenov and Fletcher together is actually funny at times; she makes Fletcher seems like one of the best actors of our era in their dialogues.Tolson does a fairly decent job but his overly stoic character adds nothing much of interest to the plot line - also here most of his character development comes by telepathy and grim facial expressions. When his character finally has a burst of chattering he is paired with Carradine, and shadows do seem darker when the sun is bright - that's all I can say about that.In terms of following the "Survival Horror" genre, the movie isn't very interesting. We are thankfully free from most Shock-and-Awe type of horror, instead it is a more seat-twisting type of building suspense that never really quite climaxes. The zombie make-up is quite decent, and the zombie breed, albeit not fueling may particularly action-filled sequences, is somewhat interesting. The post-apo details are not very well fleshed out, and we don't learn much about the world as a whole. The movie felt like a really long pilot episode for a TV series.The sound track and mixing is very bizarre, carrying long horror music loops running even though the characters are clearly in no danger, viewers expect something to happen, but we are abruptly cut to a new scene.Footage is obnoxious at times. Autumn... leaves falling... people dying.. OK, we get it, the leaves represent people. It seemed the director loves shooting in the dark, but it doesn't make the movie any more suspenseful.In the end, it felt like the movie lacked a direction. Once you think the film is going to pick up, it lets you down, and suddenly ends. I did like Fletcher's and Carradine's performances though.
