F.E.A.R.

The premise behind this film was good and slightly different take on an end of the world scenario but very slow with very little action. Story flicks between timelines to give backstory which is not too bad but doesn't fully explain what happened so left guessing.

This is a low-budget slow burn, characters are poorly introduced, most scenes are predictable and outcomes are shall I say LACKING. Your thrusted into a storyline that make you want to slam your head into the remotes stop button, but your a deer in the head-lights because you want to see how much worst this can get. Acting however is somewhat believable for a undead verse, but if you're a fan about the post apocalyptic undead genre then leave your hope for this one on the roadside. It seems that logic and common sense goes into the crapper when you write & direct yourself.

The stolen 'Alien' line -1 star.

Thing about an apocolypse or zombie flick is the 'logic' behind the actions.

In end-of-times waiting for a cure... these parents want us to believe: a) zombified daughter is savable so they steal or waste gas and still have electricity to keep a 19yr old alive with no food or water or other supplies?

B) these parents waste bullets shooting into walls next to intruders who tell the parents they intend to kill them and steal all their stuff

c) the father tells his wife to go w/o him, during an end of times where he's the only adult male, but she must drive with her daughter the sometimes zombie and 10yr old son, cause what?

An adult woman a zombie a boy child

are safe out there without his stupid butt?

D) they have these long drawn out dialogues with intruders who state they came to kill them, and leave the intruder with a lighter... as they turn their back on 2 intruders - w/woman and b/man... to talk at them about WHAT exactly?

So when the 2 attack we supposed to NOT see that coming?

Everything about this film is a waste of build up. NONE of it makes sense.

Especially when the 'lighter' lady intruder is holding the half-zombie daughter hostage and mom puts down her gun and shoots not at the woman but the zombie?

It is just NON STOP NONESENSE.

Okay, director did good with cinamatography, scoiting the location, ipcking the "lighter woman" - she was the only good actress.

The premise, the script, the choices, the lighting, the suspense, the dialogue, the child actor... ALL TRASH.

A SERIOUS WASTE OF 1HR 30MIN.

But if you keep it running in the background while working or doing dishes, then perhaps.... just don't ever give it your full attention cause the Director nor the Actors did as much for us.

But give it a chance. As horror movies go it's not bad. It kept me entertained all the way through. It doesn't deserve all the criticism it's getting. It has action, scary parts and human pathos.

This was one of those movies that relied on the acting alone and for this fact it was good. Believable acting and I kept hoping their love would overcome what they were going through. It was MORE about the ppl in it then the zombies! If you can get around this fat the movie held it own very well. The one crazy old chick was believable and so was the whole movie. I kept wanting to change it of or see the end fast but found myself not wanting to miss anything. That says a lot to me. I recommend if you like end of the world virus stories with really good acting!
