.... of boredom. A rating of 7 means that brain dead zombies are now rating films at IMDb. The directors were real geniuses, they could make a zombie film that is slow moving, tedious, insipid and without scares. The little actress is pretty bland, Glenn Close was miscast and the pseudo-scientific explanation for the zombie epidemic is very unsatisfying. It was very hard to stay awake throughout the film. On one thing the directors succeeded, after a while watching this bore fest, one's brain function shuts down and we all start behaving like zombies.

As a person that like all things zombie I feel that I can accept much. Nomatter budget or story, most zombie films have something to offer. This one however is quite frankly one of the worst things I've come across. I can handle bad acting, sans Glenn Close that is the only person in the film worth paying attention to. But the rest, I've never been so happy about a gag on child actors, just to not have to put up with their horrible non talent. Usually violence is used when you don't have narrative, and in this film it is very obvious, as random attacks on animals is what used to tug at your interest when enough violence against humans have been used. It is a zombie film after all. Or is it? Fungi infected people are more like retarded junkies on a 24/7 psycho-trip than any type of zombie. The reason this was launched as some sort of zombie film is to cash in on the zombie craze. (Just like vampires was all the rage a few years ago) And for the first time I feel that enough is enough, as someone that loves zombies I have come to the end of my rope, and I just want to hang the creators of the film in it. Goodbye zombies, please rest in peace from now on. And save us from pieces of crap that this film is. Save your time and your money, do not watch this film.

If you're like me and base a lot off of previews then you'd know this looked great regardless of mixed reviews. Well, this one is an example of what could have been great. Plot was going well and so was intensity until the last 20 minutes, where the film fell completely flat. Like they ran out of time and script. What were they thinking?! Last portion of the film was a mix of walking dead, Peter Pan , and just a blob of crap. It was random and senseless in the last 10 minutes. Just stupid. And the very last scene tried to transfer the over all feel of the film from horror/thriller to happily ever after. Felt more like a long, dark episode of Saturday night live

This is not a 7 out of 10 movie - don't be misled. It starts out fairly well in the first 10 minutes, but goes downhill as soon as the compound is breached by the 'Hungries' - calling them by a different name doesn't detract the fact that this is a typical zombie movie. The 'heroes' all manage to escape the compound and tread the formulaic routine of crossing the country moving through hordes of zombies without ever really being in danger. There was the typical scene where the expendable soldier decides to take his gun belt off to enter some store and as expected gets eaten. I didn't get any feeling of tension from any part of the film. I didn't care about any of the characters and I was really, really hoping that Gemma Arterton was going to be eaten. I was wishing for the end a good 40 minutes to go, but I'm glad I made it to see the ending - even I didn't see that coming - unbelievable - in a crap way! I give it 3 stars for the young girl debut.

I've been looking forward to watching this movie and it didn't disappoint! I am a big horror/thriller/drama fan, and I do love zombie movies, and this was a completely new variation that focused more on the human story, which I also love, but the story behind it all is unlike other films I've seen. I'd say this is more of a drama with thriller/horror aspects mainly due to the situation the characters are in, and I'd encourage everyone to give it a watch! The acting is great, the story is unique and interesting and It was not predictable at all. I haven't read the book but I'm going to do so next. I really enjoyed this movie!
