This movie takes place after a viral outbreak that leads to a zombie plague where two survivors, Elvis and Tweeter, flee America and end up on what they assume is a deserted island. Not too long after they come upon the island they are greeted by a hoard of zombies followed by men with guns who save their lives.
Elvis and Tweeter's highly uncooperative nature when it comes to the people who saved them from certain death seems unfounded to me, as well as how quickly they are welcomed into the group. The house on the island where they congregate is too neatly kept, but what did I expect from a B-movie really?
As far as I can tell a lot of people who rated this on IMDB feel the same way I do about it. It was rated a 4.3 which I would have to agree with. Story line is inconsistent and way to cheesy for my taste. The acting seemed alright for the first ten minutes of the movie but the farther along it goes the worse it gets. The camera work is shotty at best. The characters in this are too willing to use a gun to solve their problems and an old woman with a broken leg is met with scrutiny even though it is obvious she hasn't been bitten.
The familiar term of Walker is used to describe the undead just like in the beloved show "The Walking Dead," which I will admit I'm a fan. The characters aren't as complex as you'd expect from supposedly good writing, which I would think would be the reason they got funding for this movie to begin with. Well, I don't see it.
I will be completely honest here. The action had no rhyme or reason and there was no suspense at all. I think we've all come to expect those three very important things from other zombie movies. I couldn't continue to watch this movie because of sheer boredom and a just out right horrible movie that I had to stop watching after the first fifteen minutes and began to write this review. To anyone who doesn't want to feel like they wasted an hour and twenty-five minutes of their lives watching this movie, don't waste your time.
