A little biased, first, because I live in Biddeford, just a few miles from where it was filmed and, second, I know Olin (Producer).
I have always loved these types of films, especially the low budget ones, and this is low budget. With the limited budget and constraints that Olin and the crew worked with, this really came out well. It is predictable, but so are some of the best zombie films, and the acting was not quite up to snuff, but again, this is why I love these films. They are simple, with a twist and I could relate to the location.
Like most of these films, the plot was sketchy and we don't really know what is going on, but again, even the best zombie movies are meant to leave you guessing about what is going on and how did it get this way.
I wanted more from this film, like, well, more zombies. I thought they did a good job with the zombies, but not enough of them and could have done a little better with some of the makeup, though they were relentless, and that is the true quality of a zombie. It would have benefited from more survival techniques and a vision of how to avoid the horror (like getting out of town). I also wanted a different ending. I felt they ran out of time, money and ideas and were just looking for a way to wrap things up.
Like all zombie movies, it was an even lower budget version of the original (Night of the Living Dead) and what all zombie movies have aspired to. One of the other reviews tries to compares "2" to "I am Legend", but this is a stretch, as "2" is more homegrown and didn't have a billion dollar budget.
I liked it and appreciate the simple approach to a complex apocalypse scenario.
