my first thought exactly.

i'll watch most anything post-apocalyptic and if i sat through the turd fest known as the day remake, i might as well watch this.

I watch it .It was really good.But I knew after five minutes how it was going to end.Plus,it was way to short.

Yeah, not bad. I just hate that shakey head Jacobs Ladder ****. But I did like the story. Pretty cool.

Great idea with the link, Scipio, I completely forgot out it. The first half wasn't bad, but after that it went to **** for me. Cracking necks, holding hands, no thanks. Didn't make a whole lot of sense.

Didn't really like it at first. Well. I was split.

The ZOMBIE part of the film was just boring and strange. I couldn't get a grip on it. Didn't like it. Especially the cinematography whenever we saw a zombie. Low shutter speed and shaky as hell. I hated it, it was super annoying. And the zombie mannerisms were very, very strange. I want to know what the hell the director was thinking when he was directing the zombies? "Imagine you're on speed or E..., but you have crippled legs."?


However, I really liked the main character and the dilemma. It was very good, if you ask me, and I really sympathized with her. Started a bit wierd, but once it got going I enjoyed it.

As for the ending:

It was a very nice twist, but it didn't make sense. Why did she, if she was a zombie, never get an urge to attack any of the people she encountered? Why did she, if she was a zombie, run from the guy with the gun? It just didn't make sense.

Typical example of a good script ruined by a bad director.

I wouldn't say great story. It was a good episode, but there were a lot of holes in the story. Acting was pretty solid though and it's always great to see zombies on TV. I do agree with everyone that it was predictable to a fault.

And I don't mind the shaky head zombies, I just don't like the shaky camera work that went with it.
