We All Fall Down

First of all it wasn't a bad movie but it didn't deserve no 7.8 which was the rating on here at first. It was OK,a different kind of horror movie to whats out there at the moment. The acting wasn't especially good either,id say average to that as well. It seemed to me that it was one of them-you knew what was coming next or at the end. This is my personal opinion,so some would disagree no doubt. Anyway the movies worth a watch and would like to see what the rating eventually goes down to with more reviews,etc. This is my first review on here so I'm sorry if its not as good as some on here. Thank you for reading and hope you enjoy it as much as i did,ha!

Magandang pelikula!

I can't recall a movie with such egregious overacting.

Okay, sure. It is cringeworthy at times and at other times the acting was bad. Like really, really bad. I could have done without all the grunting and without the witch, like that whole plot line ruined the movie. It would 1000% improved if they stuck with the brothers only and paced until the older one turned. They missed a huge opportunity there IMO. It was predictable but I still liked it. The idea was original.

LTF meets The Road but in a very bad and boring way... The plot is full of loose ends that are never explored or explained, and the characterization is so poor. The dialogues are pathetic, and instead of working and polishing the script, the writers took the cheapest way by giving the audience grunts. The zombies are a total joke and they only appeared on screen for around 5 min.; I guess they learned that from The Walking Soap-opera, by showing cheap melodramatic scenes and blah, blah, blah dialogues and leave the zombies as ornaments.

First off I remember less than 5 zombies in the movies it is not a zombie movie. Also think 28 days later infected more than zombies. This is a character driven apocalypse movie. Others have explained the story but the general gist of it is a boy at the verge of hitting the age where he will turn into a zombie like all adults. He is taking care of his mute brother and they seem to be wandering aimlessly. They run into other groups and the younger brother ends up needing rescued. Don't know what cliffhanger people are talking about but I didn't see one. Overall I enjoyed the movie I feel like most people expected grander goals for the characters but I felt the ending reward was great for the main character. When everything is terrible its just the little things that give him hope and motivate him. Guess there was a kickstarter that pitched something that people feel wasn't delivered but the final product was respectable which surprised me because I dislike children in tv and movies and actually came to watch them fight zombies expecting the worst and actually ended up liking a few of them.

Lots of people saying that the acting is bad are just plain silly. The acting is not great, that's for sure, but I've seen bad and this ain't it. In fact, the whole idea of the movie is that kids are the only people not "zombified" and so their behavior should be erratic and over the top. If anything, the actors played it too normal. The problem with the movie was with the story. It started from a premise that not only wasn't explored, but wasn't even relevant to the plot. Then it focused its 80 minutes on details that, again, were irrelevant. I really enjoyed Kalli Therinae's character and, with a better script, she could have shined. Bottom line: the idea was reasonably fresh, but the plot did not take advantage of it. The actors were OK, but their roles didn't really give them the opportunity to evolve. If this were an episode of The Walking Dead, it would have been way too boring. As a movie it just doesn't work. Too bad, since I enjoyed most other movies from Arrowstorm.

Todd (Cardiff Gerhardt) and his mute brother Benny (Connor James Moore) travel down "The Road" as the planet has been infected by the Star Trek virus "Miri" that only effects adults. They try to remain alone, but run into Matra (Kalli Therinae) a pretty teen girl who wants to feed Todd and his brother and "fulfill all of his needs." wink wink nudge nudge. Todd being a young male from Utah, grunts and says "no." In fact most of the dialogue had a lot of poorly done grunts and snarls. Having gotten past that zombie adults who want to eat kids are few and far between and kids managed to survive with all the adults wanting to kill them, I viewed on. The film managed to capture a poorly acted and scripted combination of "The Road" meets "Lord of the Flies" plus 4? zombies. The child acting was extremely bad, especially the leads. Kalli Therinae reminded me of Miley Cyrus at her worst. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity

When I found "We All Fall Down", I read the synopsis and just had to take the time and effort to sit down and watch it because it is a zombie movie after all. And I have to be honest and say that I had not heard about this movie prior to stumbling across it by sheer random luck. But it is always nice to find a new addition to the zombie movie collection, although many of the movies turn out to be poor attempts at making a zombie movie. "We All Fall Down" has a relatively small cast ensemble, so the actors and actresses in the movie had to carry a bigger weight in order to make the movie work. And I will say that most of the performances in the movie were actually quite good. The characters in the movie were nicely detailed and fleshed out. However, it just didn't always make much sense. For example, why would people resort to dressing as savages and incorporate teddy bears in their outfits. It hardly makes much sense for such foolishness in a dying world overrun with zombies. So I didn't really understand why writer and director Kurt Knight opted for this in his movie. But seriously, savages? What could possibly justify that people turn into and act like savages while others retain their humanity and ways of their former lives? No, it just didn't add up. And for some reason these savages just lost their ability to speak and communicate in English? No, no, no! While we are on the topic of things that didn't make much sense, then why did Todd have to go around and growl like a rabid beast? The zombies were suffering from that low budget approach in terms of make-up and special effects. The people who were portraying zombies in the movie were essentially just colored grey on their face and necks, and often they had forgotten to color the arms, hands, legs and feet. Which is a classic and very stupid mistake to make, especially since you opted for the cheap approach of just using grey make-up and not have gore and dismemberment effects. Furthermore, the zombies were fast, agile and running, which is a definite no in my book. Zombies are supposed to be slow and shambling, lacking proper motor skills and coordination. I will say that the atmosphere in the movie was actually quite good. There was a gritty feel to it all, with dirt and grime, which added a good sense of realism to the scenes. The pacing of the movie was adequate, because there was a good and constant flow to the movie. The movie's cover/poster looks rather interesting and is actually quite nicely made. It is alluring and eye catching. However, it is actually far more promising than what the movie delivered at the hand of writer and director Kurt Knight. "We All Fall Down" had some major problems in terms of script idea and concept, but there were lots of enjoyable moments throughout the course of the movie. For a zombie movie then "We All Fall Down" is definitely not a movie worthwhile mentioning or one that you must run out and add to your collection.
