Irony befalls this title.

Rating: 6/10 (9 February 2013)

After seeing the trailer for this film I knew I had to see it. It's an interesting concept about the human condition being the cure for all things, even the zombie apocalypse...Grant it it would never work but the charm is there. Here's where irony befalls this title; all the charm and character in this film is found in the undead characters. If it was intentional by the writer than kudos, but I highly doubt it.
I loved the zombies in this movie if it had been just a 40 minute short film it would have really worked. Lets say the zombie R was a lot closer to the human enclave not living in an airport; the group of survivors get swarmed, hopefully in a much more intelligent manor, and R of course saves the girl but she returns home. Periodically R visits her after following her through her secret entrance one day after she goes out and gathers supplies a second time and a bond finally forms when she realizes she can trust him. Bing bong boom there's your foundation. Just a thought because there were so many plot holes with the idea of these kids growing up in a zombie infested world; why would they be so careless. Okay step one when scavenging supplies don't play video games you stupid ass! Step two if there is only one door why not put a couple people on it to secure any dangers, especially when you think you hear something that could be a potential threat, and finally why the hell would you let a zombie get that close to your face!?!!!?
The humans in this movie were dumb! Just completely and utterly stupid! I did not care about them at all and if they were to die than good riddance because they were too stupid to be a survivor; dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb only begins to describe them and their actions and sadly there was no plot except for the love story...oh wait yeah there were the "Bonies" which is a dumb name but I get the reason for it those enemies are skeletons...clever. But if those things were not involved than what would be the conflict...oh the f*cking zombies!!! See your story falls apart when you throw in a weak subplot known as the "Bonies." It's a lame stretch to make it so the human looking zombies are little better than the skeleton zombies. No!!! What you do is actually flesh out your characters you gave R a reason to be compassionate he wishes to communicate again to feel alive; why not have some of the zombies understand his motives and wish to help while others are just crazy cannibals. Than you have even more plight when the humans have to fight off the zombies because now they can't judge by appearance alone, makes it a bit more gripping.
Now don't get me wrong I enjoyed 40% of this film the stuff with the zombies was great, it was funny at times and the character R was charming. The girl he falls for however was boring, stupid, and lacked all personality. It was like watching Kristen Stewart if Kristen Stewart was blonde had a better rack and no chipmunk teeth. R shows a lot of personality and character with his undead hobby of collecting and listening to vinyl and the guy likes Springsteen which is awesome! That girl would not know who Springsteen was I'm sure her modern day personality would go straight for the Justin Beiber and never look back. She barely talks about anything pressing except when can she leave...hmmm why not use your survival skills and leave you are the daughter of the leader of the human resistance you can't fight with melee weapons are you dense!! Doesn't matter point being even in the flashback or dream sequences she yammers on about how life is so detrimental and we need to exhume humanity...ugh now you sound like a pretentious hipster who uses words like exhume to sound smart, I hate you.
I'm pissing a lot on this movie I know, but its because they took a very charming short film concept and padded it out with pre-teen nonsense; driving a car real fast on an airport strip would be fun I don't want to watch that though, not in a zombie film. Also if it took place more in the survivor enclave then we could have dove into the social hierarchy that was obviously going on. Near the end our characters go down into what looks like a refugee camp, in comparison to the mansions these white girls were living in; okay what the hell is that about why are these people living in filth and you are living it up in a mansion. I can assume because your dad has power but now it looks like he abuses his position and makes him a bit of an asshole; bam another plot point that would have been so much more interesting to see!!!
Yeah you guys dropped the ball on some real social issues that are plaguing our society. But I do appreciate the daydream of life before the outbreak where R talks about how it must have been great to simply enjoy the company of other human beings back then; however, it shows a bunch of people on their cell phones and ipods not paying any attention to the physical presence of the people around them...Brilliant!!! You just made a perfect analogy of our modern lifestyle to that of a zombie apocalypse, we may as well all be dead because we lack the abilities to socialize, f**king brilliant!! And you capitalized on it by showing a zombie trying so damn hard to simply speak to a living human being....BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!! But then you dropped it and made it a teenage love story, as if like we haven't already suffered the Twilight saga.
