Full of cliches and massive plot holes. Why did the little girl leave the camper in the first place? For a person who rather play on her phone, why did she leave it? Zombies now can climb ladders and like to fist fight.
Using the backdrop of a Zombie apocalypse, this movie is focusing on the redemption of father/daughter relationship and tries hard to show the differences in our generation gap. The potential for a great film is there, but if by a great film you want one about zombies, maybe this is not for you. The characters are believable, the script is ok, the scenerio questionable but the backdrop is dodgy. If you want to see a movie about a dysfunctional Dad doing his best in an apocalyptic setting, look elsewhere.
I'm not a massive fan of zombie films. But this movie wasn't too bad. I've seen alot worse.
Although he would rather be playing poker and drinking beer with some of his friends, "Tom" (Liam McIntyre) is convinced to spend the weekend with his adolescent daughter "Mira" (Aundrea Smith) camping in the woods instead. While driving there he hears strange reports of violent mobs suddenly breaking out all over but pays no real mind to it. Having then arrived at the camping site the two of them get situated and later on have some dinner with a group of other campers who have also recently arrived. The next morning, however, things change dramatically as those same campers become enraged zombies who swarm the two of them leaving Tom to fight them off while Mira runs into the woods. Eventually, Tom manages to barricade himself inside the camper and tries to come up with a plan to rescue Mira who has managed to allude the zombies but is left on her own without any food or shelter. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had some outstanding action scenes. Unfortunately, the director (David Matalon) had nothing else to contribute as he kept repeating one nearly identical scene after another to the point that the film not only became somewhat monotonous but also quite exhausting to watch as well. At least, it was for me. That being the case, I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
A good looking cover to a long, very boring movie with a lot of stupid plots.
