No idea why some reviewer was bitching about "a pile of trash filmed entirely in a crappy Brit apartment. Boo. Cmon Britain!! Really??" They don't even know that it's a Swedish movie written and directed by Antonio Steve Tublén who is a Swedish director, screenwriter and composer? Produced in Denmark and Sweden, NOT BRITAIN? If you have to slag on Brits for a Swedish film, you shouldn't be writing reviews.

That said, they obviously couldn't handle a zombie movie that wasn't a clone of The Walking dead with tons of zombies being decapitated in gory ways every five seconds.

This isn't some cheap-assed, basic, zombie slasher apocalypse action movie. If all you're looking for is gore, or a movie that follows the same-old same old, this is not the movie for you. This isn't a movie for people who personally dream of someday magically riding imaginary "apocalypse" horses when they never even saw a real horse before, imagining they're some bad-ass who would be fighting the "bad guys" instead of actually hiding in their basement, impaling the undead, wearing Mad Max clothes, and who want their movies to end in a juvenile, adolescent, non-realistic blaze of glory.

This is a movie for people a little bit more down to Earth who know that in REAL life, most people would be no match for zombies. It's a movie for people who don't have a heart attack if someone actually is depicted as having a real relationship for more than two seconds in a horror movie instead of just having gratuitous snippets of sex for teen eye candy in-between gloriously slaughtering a gazillion zombies with a convenient set of airplane propellers or somesuch. Like I said, this is a movies for grown-ups, with a nice bit of humor added.

If you didn't like this movie (or didn't watch it because in the first 3 seconds there was no tough warrior-dude whacking zombies) please do everyone a favor and do not watch Better Off Zed, or Right At Your Door, and then rate them poorly too. You're not adult enough to appreciate them.

I watching the film; I laughed, scared, worried, sad, happy. It was an interesting movie. The drama and love in the film was very beautiful. The acting were very successful. Although the film progresses strange at the beginning, I liked the film afterwards. Cinematography, colors and music were also very good. Director did a good job.

The story moves quite rapidly for the first 30 minutes. It utilizes cuts to progress the plot rather than ease the transitions with viable dialogue. This lead to the introductory 1/3 of the movie leaving me without a connection to the characters since their personalities weren't even half developed.

However, things take a turn after the rising action occurs. The story starts to slow down and take a steady pace, easing me in rather than just throwing me into another random scenario along with the couple. Though, after one of the characters makes a crucial mistake and the events thereafter occur, things were wrapped up too quick. Meaning that trouble just arrived and 3 minutes later everything is ok again and we're not on to the next day. I truly with the situation was drawn out more to increase the intensity of the scene.

The ending was a little transcribed but, the tone was correct in every way. Leaving me feeling a bit hopeless and dejected. I felt the last 40 minutes of the film were it's strongest, and there, I saw the characters develop and was finally able to connect to them. That is what made the ending effective, which is why I don't understand why the same effort and writing couldn't have been included earlier in the movie. I dare say that it felt like two different people wrote this, with the better one taking over about halfway through the story.

Lastly, the score was a hit or miss. I found myself drawn away from the scenes because the music wasn't matching the tone nor actions of the characters. Other times, the score did just that, but not so much so that it increased my engagement with the scene. But, the camera angles made me feel like I was with John and Karen in their English flat, so the camera work was in no doubt the strongest part of this movie.

I actually enjoyed the film, but I'm not certain I could recommend it to someone else. But, if you are reading this to determine if you should watch it or not, I say if you are already here expressing interest, you should go ahead and watch it.

Good independent-like movie.

Not just another bs zombie slasher movie.

But warning... if u r in a childless relationship, give this a miss. It cuts far too close to the bone and will just depress you. (Not sure why society thinks, infertile couples are fair game for movies... every other minority gets protection... why are we the forgotten ones?)

I'm not sure who said this was partly a comedy but they definitely missed the mark. I have seen so many movies considered to be within the horror comedy genre and let me tell you, there was nothing remotely comical about this movie, or even amusing. It was downright horror/thriller/drama.
