Boring, and no character development equal a movie that's super boring where I don't care about the characters... Did all these actors go to the Kristen Stewart school of acting?

Whenever I see a horror movie on IMDb rated between 4.0 - 4.5 I can be sure it's going to be fairly decent budget at least, as even the best horror usually doesn't crack 7+.

This isn't the most original story ever, but as far as "zombie" flick, you gotta give it some credit for not being the exact same as 99% of zombie films.

The story itself is just okay, but enough to keep you watching. 6/10

The budget was solid. No iPhone 4s filming. 8/10

Acting...it was fine. 6/10

Overall it kept me entertained and if someone brought up the film, I'd remember it more fondly than negatively. Take that for what it's worth. Also, I think this was much better than the sequel.

Premise was good but started nonsensically slow for no reason. the breakdown moment was pretty ordinary, you could see that this was going to be an inside type film . ok so needed to be good in suspense but you could see how bad the acting was and you thought why did they choose why did they cast -these awful people who you had no interest in and who are such bad actors and then 10 minutes later you realise that they're just given awful Direction, dialogue and acting instructions. So much potential wasted it's the kind of thing I wish someone else did because they would have done 10 times better 3.5 could have so very easily been 7

Five university friends gather at a house party to ring in the New Year. Unbeknownst to them, an epidemic has erupted outside, causing outbreaks around the world.

Scott Weinberg of Fearnet says, "If you can get past the fact that the flick is composed of 75% recycled ideas and 25% new ones, you may find that something to like." Sounds to me like Weinberg does not understand how the horror genre works -- few movies today have less than 75% recycled ideas. Why gripe about this one?

Indeed, this was an interesting satire and attack on social media. Silly, maybe, and certainly nothing that can be taken too seriously. But not the terrible film critics (especially Rotten Tomatoes) makes it out to be. When compared to the technology-themed "The Den", this is the more mature and accomplished approach to the Internet Age.

Bad social media! Well that's sort of the message. And if you will the central thing the movie is saying is: Get out more, be nice in "real" life. Which is not a bad thing in my book. Unfortunately it does fall into almost every cliché on its way to deliver that message. And while the cliché of the "beautiful" people (on screen) is not something I'd complain about, there are others I do.

The actors are trying their best and there is a sense of urgency and it does have more than a little bit of tension in it. So there is something to the movie other than the general idea, that might hold you to watching it. It's not much, but maybe enough for your viewing pleasure.
