Please Don't Feed the Children

First, being the daughter of a great (mostly) director, doesn't mean the progeny will be a great director. Hence this. Does no one who writes a movie, think beyond the premise? This move comes straight from the weak as hell J. J. Abrams/Alex Kurtzman school of film writing. The premise, a disease that kills adults and affects children, well, let's be honest. The Virus of the week film isn't anything new. How it's done, like lets say the 28 series (NOT ZOMBIE MOVIES!) are brilliant, each evolving in a different way. Now, if this virus is so virulent, how has anyone survived it? (First mistake). The movie doesn't know what it wants to be; is it horror? Suspense? Where are the monsters? How did Michelle Dockery (who looks and acts like an older version of her character from Downton Abbey, and constantly uses the english term 'Sweets' for candy.) Ditto Giancarlo Esposito. This is just a bad, weak movie that runs on the coattails of the director's name. Weak and poor. I can see why it premiered on Tubi.

How did Michelle Dockery and the dude from Breaking Bad end up in this train wreck?? I'm not even sure what I was watching. Was it an apocalypse movie? A psychological horror? Zombie movie? It made absolutely no sense. The movie couldn't figure out what it wanted to be and there was so many plot holes that Swiss cheese would blush. The script writing was subpar and the set design looked lazy, like it was put together by middle schoolers high on weed and short on cash. Just prepare yourself for a movie that makes no sense from start to finish and will leave you wondering why the heck did you waste your time.

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.
