The End? L'inferno fuori

Main protagonist is trapped in an elevator and fights to survive zombie outbreak in Rome. Nothing special, but nothing bad either. It's a fun film to watch. It's nothing ground breaking, and certainly isn't scary, but it's well acted pure zombie fun, and you should treat it that way. Sure would like like to see more movies like this from Italy :)

The story concept was interesting..... But when the show run...... very slow and no any development on THAT trapped MAN! It turned out to be that he was not capable on doing anything to survive indeed! He couldn't even control himself! The story line said that "he was trapped in the metal cage" .... I'd say that "the guy was lucky to be in that metal cage"

If he was not trapped, he would have been killed in seconds!

Boring

I was kinda pleasantly surprised with this little gem of a movie that managed to keep me intrigued throughout its entire course. Don't get me wrong, this is no REC, but Italian cinematography did quite alright with The End?

So we can either compare it with Rec, 30 days later or any other zombie horror for that matter, or we can take it for what it is and try to enjoy it. Acting was ok on my part, plot easy to follow-decent and some nice kills here and there, even tho they are simple zombie deaths.

I want to say that it was a nice way to occupy around 90 minutes of my time and if I do find other such productions I'll surely keep an eye on them.

Cheers!

They used a lot of mamma's secret pasta sauce on this little Italian zombie flick. A flick that combines a zombie apocalypse back story with another, by now, well known dramatic ploy, that is, being trapped in a lift.

So whilst I can say with candour that The End? does nothing new, its decent pacing, interesting, believable characterisations and basic but watchable zombie action, works quite well.

This film hummed along and kept me wondering what was going to happen to the key protagonist. I did like the nicely rounded end scene too, which injected a little light humour into the otherwise blood soak proposition, this film represents.

I suspect, depending on your sensibilities, you will either like this film, as I did, or hate it. I don't think there will be any "in betweeners" on this one.

7/10 from me.

It's the usual outbreak story, made way worse by the fact that the main character is unbereably detestable, selfish and stupid, from beginning to end. You don't find yourself rooting for him AT ALL. On the contrary, you end up hoping he's gonna be taken by the zombies.
