Why is the kid screaming?

Rating: 2/10 (25 June 2013)

Seriously, the youngest kid screams from the first minute of the movie, when there isn't even a zombie in sight to the very last. And it's not even a good scream, alas Dakota Fanning in War of the worlds. It's one of those annoying kids with a group of friends at the cinema scream, I thought I had hit the jackpot seeing the movie when there was no kids there to ruin it with the melodramatic screaming but this movie comes with its very own built in!
Speaking of Dakota Fanning in war of the worlds, the movie pretty much steals a scene right out of it; you know when the aliens first arrive and start destroying stuff and the character Rachel starts screaming for her Mother? Yeah that scene, except the mother is already in the car in WWZ so the kid screams for a non existent blanket. Even the kids name is the same.
Conclusion - This kid destroys what could of been a good movie. I spent the entire movie trying to work out if the kid was supposed to have autism or asperbergs or something instead of paying attention to the action, at least then it's stupid behavior such as sitting in a trolley screaming, making her father run back in a zombie infested street to get a stuffed animal and running back down stairs when the rest of the family are running up to catch a helicopter to escape as the zombies have literally just broken through the door, would make more sense. And this all happens in the first 10 minutes, I will spare you the details of the rest of this kids nauseating role.
You'll thank me if you decide to watch it. but I'd avoid if you are emotionally attached to your ear drums. Don't say I didn't warn you.
