Patient Zero

This movie was fairly well acted and unfortunately did not utilize Stanley Tucci enough. The story was promising as the infected could actually communicate, which makes for an interesting Zombie film. Despite a great premise and strong actors it could not save this movie from poor writing. The movie was painfully dull at times and felt flat. The ending seemed as if they just cut the tape at a random point. If they are thinking making a part II they should pass.

I assume everyone with a 1 star review is not into this type of film or has created a film experience that is worthy of a 10 star review. This movie is exactly what you would expect. It was late one evening and I wanted to watch something fun. I saw this movie and decided to look up reviews. I had to think about it for a bit due to the horrid reviews, decided to go with it... turned it on and was entertained the whole time... simple as that. I'd even watch a sequel.

I feel there are a few elements that will make or break a film. One of them is music, which this movie completely failed at. Being engrossed when watching a film is very important to me but the music choices often took me "out of the zone" because it was just... so CHEESY.

That being said, it was a fun film with good acting and decent writing. Exactly what you would expect from the genre with a different twist and perspective, which I often appreciate.

Note on the negative reviews for Matt Smith's accent. It sounds odd because, I think (and this is a strong belief only), he is affecting a very specific accent from a US region referenced in the beginning.

Aside from the negative reiews, I took a chance on the film due to the actors and have no regrets.

I've seen far worse Zombie movies than this one. It's not as bad as some of the reviewers on here make out. The genre I guess has been done to death, but this movie has a couple of original story points that make it watchable.

This movie by any means isn't the BEST but it's also not terrible. Okay so the plot isn't awesome but it is to say the least entertaining. Basic zombie movie. They should turn it into a show. I'd watch it over The walking Dead any day!
