Beautful facade

Ahhhh, Milla, Milla, Milla, Milla... Milla.
She's certainly easy on the eye... and so is this little zombie movie which has precisely one exceptional thing going for it. Milla (if I haven;'t mentioned it yet). It doesn't get a lot deeper than that however and I haven't played the game so I guess there's a lot of back-story missing etc for me. Hence, the plot was very shallow, forced and I'd seen it all before.
Even so, the set values seemed pretty good and the special effects weren't the worst I've seen (except maybe for the 'beast' at the end which sort of suggests they either had no budget to start with or ran it into the ground pretty quickly. Still, it was a bit better than the werewolf in Ginger Snaps so that's something. This isn't the best sci-fi movie you'll see (in fact it's not a sci-fi movie at all really) but it's not the worst zombie movie either. Somewhere in between. A good one for some easily digestible eye-candy that doesn't ask too much of you... if you don't expect too much of it.
