End Times - Tag der Abrechnung

Writers should only write and never direct nor act.

Directors should direct and never write nor act.

Actors should act and never write nor direct.

Now say it again and again and again.

I implore you combo wanna be I can do it all people in film; stick to one line of work and do it well otherwise what you produce looks like this dribble you call a film.

Write a good script and let a professional director and actors do the rest.

This movie is so bad on so many levels I had to stop driving to post this after seeing it an hour earlier.

Where to begin, how about the terrible script written by an amateur who thinks he can write and then had the audacity to direct it.

I will stop here. Now go back to the top of this post Mr. Director/Writer and reread this.

Everything about this movie was amateur. Back-and-forth back-and-forth to the same locations fight choreography that looks like it was made up at the time by the Director and worst of all the producers didn't even give full credits at the end of the movie. Not a single credit for set decoration for production design for Costume Design no PROP MASTER credit yet somebody was handling the one single gun that Kept getting used over and over. Plus when all else fails and you can't afford any more zombie make up go to the standard group of people living in some kind of post apocalyptic cult. Not only does this movie not show you anything you haven't seen over and over and over again. It looks like the whole movie was shot in several weeks. Don't waste your time skip it.

Yet another post-apocalypse, "let's see how badly people can treat each other" movie.

In this particular movie the apocalypse is a zombie one, but really, it could have been any apocalypse, it wouldn't really have made a difference. They skip the really good, interesting part about the actual outbreak, which is what makes a decent zombie movie, and just move straight into the endless rehash of nasty and degenerate things people do to other people (particularly women).

It's not like it even really has any kind of story to make it worth sitting through almost 2 hrs of pointless violence, degradation, and human misery.

I like zombie movies. I wanted to like this, but it's so unbelievable. First of, it does that annoying thing where it skips past the actual onset of the apocalypse. I understand why low-budget films do this, but that's my favorite part of apocalypse movies: the part where things start to go off the rails and people are trying to deal with it.

Anyway, it starts 2 weeks in, and we find this teenaged girl walking around in a pink negligee and flip flops. Wait, you've been running from zombies in Los Angeles for two weeks and you don't have pants or shoes? Really? And she has no ability to deal with people or danger? How the crap did she survive this long?

That being said, there's a decent mix of zombies, gangs, survival, and plot points. It would do in a pinch, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I understand that this is a low budget film and they did a good job in creating post apocalypse sets. The problem with every apocalypse/post apocalypse movie or series is the vanity of the actors. We are two weeks into an apocalypse and Claire has no food, no shelter, and is wearing ragged clothes. Somehow her priority is to keep her underarms cleanly shaved. This is always a problem with apocalypse films, especially The Walking Dead series. It seems like a small detail, but it immediately takes you out of the world building they are trying to create. The men are all unshaved. Lets have more verite, and less vanity.
