Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

An infection somewhere between flu and rabies seems to be killing almost everyone who catches it. But Lauren (Rachel Nicholson) is not ill yet and finds herself as a much valued doctor in a compound surrounded by mayhem. She's sent out as part of a small team to retrieve groups of people in the hopes they might not be infected. We concentrate on the dramas within this team and on Lauren's attempts to find her daughter.This is a very violent film acted well, but lacking the plot and propose to make it into anything more than more or less standard zombie fest.

Following a devastating virus being released, members of an Army rescue team descend into a zombie-riddled Los Angeles looking for a previously missing team only to find the overwhelming number of zombies impeding their mission and try to get out alive.This is certainly an interesting and enjoyable zombie effort. Among the better qualities here is the fact that this one actually tries something interesting with the tiredness of a zombie genre film. Done through a found-footage format that introduces the concept of each team member containing a security camera placed on their helmets and then viewing the footage from there gives this a nice solid backbone to work with, and there's also the question as to how exactly the footage was gathered to be found in the first place. This answers that questions as well as why they're still taping during the outbreak which is a common flaw in so many films, and that means this one doesn't have to set that up in order to focus on the thrilling action. That's where this one really scores highly, from the fantastic scenes in the tunnel as they make their way into the city to the frenzied traps set for them inside the city where they get ambushed by the zombies and are forced to battle their way out. The scenes in the school offer plenty of fun as the darkened, deserted hallways and abandoned nature of it all makes for quite a chilling setting for the rather fun, frenzied encounters that's greatly enhanced by the immediacy of the found-footage format. The scenes in the hospital where they get overrun by the creatures and are forced out onto the streets is another big scene, and the enjoyable finale gives this a lot to like. The other big positive here is the standout finale in the house as the creatures overrun them trapped inside and the frantic barricades and brawls to hold them off with the concept really making it work in thrilling fashion. Alongside the nice gore and zombie make-up, these here hold it up over it's few minor flaws. The main issue holding this one back is the rather lame and needless storyline featured here regarding the duplicitous nature of the team. This one could've gone on rather finely without the need for the ruse to even come into play, leaving this one to really become confusing during this time for no reason. Likewise, the other big issue here is the fact that there are way too many distractions and deviations to be found when they're coming upon the closing stretch, from the needless battle with the street gangs to the different groups out harvesting bodies that hold them back by slowing the mission down with needless interludes. These here are what end up holding this one down.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

First of all, why are they wearing those helmets when they are out of mesh? You can actually see through them in the gallery! Why don't they use actual rubber or some kind of cloth? This is totally ridiculous, is this out of laziness or stupidity? The Story and set is OK, acting as well, but the rest pretty much is not so good and makes it awkward to watch.

Another completely stupid zombie flick. How can you create so much inconsistency and let it go like this to final product and distribution is beyond my comprehension. Ridiculous plot and dialogues, mediocre direction that varies between first and third person view through shaky camera, acting only decent because the writing of characters attitudes and reactions do not help, being totally unreasonable making decisions so stupid that most of the time (if not every time) putting their own lives and others in danger. I could even list all the stupidity of the movie from beginning to end, but if I did this it would not be a review but a thesis on "how not to make a bad movie". Recommended only to fierce zombie fans - and even then...
