Please Don't Feed the Children

No. Just no. One of the worst apocalypse movies ever. The premise was ok, though not much different from every zombie movie I've seen in the past 20 years.

The acting, if you can call it that, is wooden. Each of the 'actors' has maybe three expressions which, apparently, are interchangeable no matter what the emotion. They're all dirty of course, but one of them has different streaks of mud from one frame to the next without any reason.

Why did I even tune in? I got an email promoting this 'great new movie on TUBI starring Michelle Dockery. Was it her or the material she was given, even she couldn't infuse anything good in this movie.

Skip it. Skip the whole thing and watch a classic like "THEM" or the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".

Nepo nonsense hit new lows with this one. Destry Allen Speilberg delivered a deeply embarrassing, borderline unwatchable cringe fest that didn't offer up a single legit scare.

Some of the cast has talent (actress from Downtown Abbey and Gus from Breaking Bad) and some maybe do but it didn't shine through this garbage. And a Spielberg making a movie with a title encouraging people to not feed children with what's going on in the world right now? Does Destry have absolutely no antenna?

They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Destry is a chip off the old block when it comes to making bad movies, just like dad.

Cool premise, really liked the idea and the first half kept my interest for sure. But after that it's just dumb character decision after dumb character decision. The acting is okay too but the writing is so bad in the second half that I almost just turned it off.

It's things like when you're getting attacked or held by gun and don't take the gun or subdue the attacker that really make the last 1/3 unwatchable. I was yelling at the TV multiple times because the kid characters are so insufferable and stupid.

It does have some good acting, the premise is cool and some SFX were good too, but the bad writing ruins the whole thing towards the end. 4.2/10.

The movie started off decent for about a minute, but quickly slowed down and lost direction. It felt like it was trying to build toward something, but never really got there. By the end, I was still wondering what the title even had to do with the story. The acting? Pretty rough-but honestly, that's kind of what I expected from a Tubi original.

When I read the synopsis, I thought Okay, this sounds cool and dystopian. I was excited to see the debut directing by Destry Allyn Spielberg. The beginning of a new generation of directing, and I was not upset about the nepotism. My first red flag was when they announced it would be released on Tubi. Then the reviews started coming in, and I ignored them because I thought people were just hating on the nepotism. Yet I found out no, this movie is truly absolutely awful. What a mess. Michelle Dockery's talent was wasted in this mess of a movie that could not figure itself out. The plot holes are just completely unignorable. At no point in the 1 hour and 32 minutes of run time did any character make a realistic decision. The world-building was dismal, and when the "reveal" finally happened, I just did not care anymore. It was so bad that I have no notes on the directing choices because I was so bored and annoyed. Please just skip.
