The End?

The story concept was interesting..... But when the show run...... very slow and no any development on THAT trapped MAN! It turned out to be that he was not capable on doing anything to survive indeed! He couldn't even control himself! The story line said that "he was trapped in the metal cage" .... I'd say that "the guy was lucky to be in that metal cage"

If he was not trapped, he would have been killed in seconds!

Boring

If you take the premise - a guy stuck in an elevator, right before a zombie apocalypse breaks out ... well you should know if this is something you would like to see. If that premise does not speak to you, the movie will not have some rabbit in a hat it pulls out or an ace of spade hidden somewhere. It is what it is and for that, it is pretty decent. The effects are good and the pace is nice too.

The main actor is doing his best to keep not just the tension high, but also the interest the viewer might have (or not). But again, having limited mobility and sight does kind of take away certain things. It does add claustrophobia into the mix though. So I guess for some people this may work even more than others. Enjoy the ride and the gore, if you are into them

It's the usual outbreak story, made way worse by the fact that the main character is unbereably detestable, selfish and stupid, from beginning to end. You don't find yourself rooting for him AT ALL. On the contrary, you end up hoping he's gonna be taken by the zombies.

I love the pacing in this movie. It wasn't too fast or too slow, yet still held me on my toes as to what would happen to the key protagonist of the film. On the other hand, it would have helped if there was another protagonist to the film, someone to help him keep his head on straight whenever he did panic or start yelling out of frustration.

But all in all the plot was basic but good, it helped that they threw in claustrophobia in there as well.

I was kinda pleasantly surprised with this little gem of a movie that managed to keep me intrigued throughout its entire course. Don't get me wrong, this is no REC, but Italian cinematography did quite alright with The End?

So we can either compare it with Rec, 30 days later or any other zombie horror for that matter, or we can take it for what it is and try to enjoy it. Acting was ok on my part, plot easy to follow-decent and some nice kills here and there, even tho they are simple zombie deaths.

I want to say that it was a nice way to occupy around 90 minutes of my time and if I do find other such productions I'll surely keep an eye on them.

Cheers!
