In this movie, the bad guys win!

Rating: Null/10 (10 September 2011)

And I'm not just talking about the monsters. Human stupidity and inhumanity is the clear winner in this flick. I'll do this in order. *Spoilers ahead*. When sh*t starts going down, the cast is stranded in a grocery store. There is one woman who left her two children (an 8 yo and a toddler) home while she went to the store. After witnessing the horrific death of someone, she explains her irresponsibility to everyone and then asks for an escort home. And when no one volunteers, she has the NERVE to get mad at everyone as if they should be ashamed of themselves. Lady, please tell me, if there really is something out there killing people, what is an escort going to do? That's right, die with you (that is if she actually had died). You want someone to risk their life to keep you company because you are scared. And get this, SHE DOES LIVE! But not without passing the hero (who had made some pitiful choices not 1 minute prior) in an army SUV and looks down at him with condescension.
Then you've got people who refuse to listen to reason. Take the black man. He heard the blood curdling scream of a dying man in the parking lot and there are people BEGGING him to look at evidence of monsters right around the corner...and he won't do it. Better still, you think their insistence is little more than a ploy to make YOU look bad. Don't give yourself the credit.
Oh let's not forget the people, who go nuts and immediately turns to the crazy woman for answers. Really? I'll leave you to watch that on your own.
And finally the ending. Apparently when you've got no other options, you kill your child...to save them of course. But the thing is they HAD options. They could have sat there and waited. Who knows. Maybe someone might come by. "Oh come on that's ridiculous". Watch this movie and you tell me.
Now I'll say this. I didn't hate the movie. The action scenes were well done and I enjoyed them. It's the times in between where the actions just don't fit.
