#1. In an opening and closing song by The Renaldis "Likes of You". I will look for that band.

I thought it was realistic (except for the zombie/sick/dead bloodhounds choice of look) and realistically showed a dynamic between an older brother and accident prone pubescent sister. The older brother being about as equipped as any average person would be if the world was suddenly askew. The sister acting as most girls that age would also. The same can be said for others they meet. Good folks, bad folks. Just a different sort of horror/drama, not a ton of either. I enjoyed the scenery and the locations and overall thought it was a good effort put forth by all.

Ok I gave 9, but it's at least a 7. And here's why...

This movie is NOT AN ACTION HORROR FLICK. It's a REALISTIC approach to sci-fi about zombies. It is actually pretty great and entertaining. Acting is on low-par, but it's believable and reminds me of a documentary (live documented event).

Many different situations, except for one long dragged episode where yeah it could have been done better. But still it's pretty good. This movie focuses on survival in the event and gives a broad perspective over real life situations. And very realistic human interactions and decisions as well.

This movie looks like a fan-fiction of something. But I mean that on the caring spectrum. A thought-out dramatic events and reactions - survival. I wish there was maybe more back story or at least descriptions how the zombies are and their characteristics (virus symptoms) though.

When the world falls apart, be thankful you aren't in the UK. Harry is quite possibly the worst survivalist in all of Europe. He's weaponless the entire film, and bloody useless. He screws over the only decent guy that previously helped him. Way to go Harry, you're a dick.

His little sister pretty much whines the whole time and contributes nothing to their survival. She wanders off constantly and is about as useful as a football bat.

If anyone deserves to get killed and eaten, it's these two sods. They wander around with such lackadaisical attitudes, it's like they are begging to killed.

You're injured, stop make your wound open up

Some of the scenes honestly make no logical sense at all. Middle of the night, some girl tries to get in their tent.

Apparently, European tents are impossible to breach, because Harry pushes her out, closes the zipper, and that's, that! She disappears, and later some Zombie tries to get in, but I guess, he can't break the forcefield.

The whole story is dull and interesting, save the beautiful countryside.

Hard pass.

Was so slow I picked up a book, read, and taught myself hot to crochet while watching it only in hopes that I didn't waste money renting it. It reminded me of a family movie that was given Steven Spielberg's theatrical background music to try to infuse the movie with some hope in action. Hope died.

The actors were good. The directing was good. The plot was slow.

I can not say more about this movie not much happened. So enjoy steps to crocheting to meet the required amount of characters needed to warn you:

Chain a multiple of 3 plus 4. To begin the blanket stitch, you will need to make a chain of the amount of stitches needed plus an additional 4 stitches. The additional 4 stitches will provide some slack for working the first double crochet stitch.

Make your chain as long as you think it will need to be for your project. For example, if you are making a blanket, then you will probably need to chain at least 90 stitches, plus 4, for a total of 94. Or, if you are making a washcloth, then you can probably just chain 18 stitches, plus 4 for a total of 22.

Watched this hidden tale of a movie tonight by a recommendation and I throughly enjoyed it!

👀At first glance, it plays out like an extended episode of "The Last of Us", versus a full movie, as it centers around a young man and his sister traveling across the open country, following a global outbreak. If you're a fan of simple stories, with a few characters to keep track of and character development, this one works great. Oh, and there's zombies!

As mentioned, this one really centers around the character relationships and is able to accomplish empathy for them in the short amount of time it's given. I genuinely was interested and engaged in a very short amount of time.

While movies of this kind can be known to drag, this one as paced perfectly and did not waste a second.

Bonus points for an excellent soundtrack and score!

Is it pumping with horror? Not exactly, but think of it as a slower level of a horror video game, where it's still looming, but there's some time to focus on the characters for a bit.

Recommend!
