Entertaining? Yes. Scary? No

Rating: 5/10 (9 February 2013)

Well its a bit of a mixed bag this one. On the one hand its original and does keep you guessing a lot of the way through, i did wonder if it was gonna have a kind of hostel like twist to it (it didn't).
I must admit my heart sank when it transpired that zombies were gonna be the enemy! Honestly i am soooooooooo sick of zombie movies now, its like everybody is obsessed with them at the moment! Its been so overdone now and if i've seen one zombie movie, i've seen them all! In my opinion zombies aren't even that scary! Anyway, i digress! So the bits right up to the zombies were quite enjoyable, my trouble is i can't get my head around films that are both realistic and fantasy all at the same time. If its obvious from the start that its a fantasy that i'm cool with that. But not once did anybody utter the words "but this is ridiculous, zombies, witches and werewolves don't exist", unless they lived in a world where, zombies, witches werewolves did exist and everybody knew about it but got on with their daily lives regardless, in which case the film writers should have made it more obvious.
I was a bit confused as to who the cabin belonged to. It was supposed to be one of the group's cousin, so does this mean the cousin was in on it too? If so what was his motive for wanting to kill off a member of his family. If the cousin wasn't in on it then that just doesn't seem feasible that some random corporate company could build a forcefield around your property, fill it with camera and bury some zombies in the ground without the owner being a little bit suspicious.
I liked it for its originality, but i wouldn't watch it again anytime soon
