It's inexplicable how anyone could think this movie would work.

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 2018)

I really disliked this movie. A lot. Where to begin?
First there's the boilerplate "suddenly all hell breaks loose" plot trope that has been used in many zombie movies already. Something happens, we don't know what, a virus? Even the tv screens tuned to the news don't give you a clue. There's SOMETHING out there causing people to go crazy eyed and kill. And it happens within minutes! It's like this idea was pulled off a rack and plugged in as the start of the story. Unoriginal, predictable, boring. Why? Because you've seen it dozens of times in better movies!
Then there's the jumping back and forth throughout the entire movie! "5 years ago". "4 years later". "Later on today, or maybe tomorrow". It's lazy and annoying when a story can't be told in a mostly linear fashion. It's typically used to hide major deficiencies, and that is certainly the case here. And don't get me started on the ridiculously impossible idea that you can't look with your eyeballs while outside! Or even inside sometimes. The fools in this movie drive cars with the windows blacked out (they use GPS, duh!), they navigate RIVERS with their small children in the boat, they fire guns at threats without any idea if they are even close to hitting anything... the stupidity and implausibility of this major plot point cannot be adequately put into words.
And finally, the twist ending if you will, was just as flat and irrelevant as could be. Oh, and did I mention you never NEVER see the thing that causes people to become suicidal zombies? Unless swirling leaves and shadows passing overhead count.
No, this movie ripped me off big time. If you say "but the acting was good", you really have different reasons for watching a movie than I do.
