So many things going on.

First, I think the Soska’s sisters’ direction is solid. The cinematography is simple, but works and the color scheme/production design rocks. Plus, decent acting all around with Ashley Moore and Andre Anthony being standouts.

I was a little disappointed in the way the zombies looked. I think the prosthetics cheapened it and honestly, a more natural approach would’ve fit the vibe more overall.

I think the weakest part of the film is the script. WAY too forward with its intentions and misses the mark in its emotional desire. The general plot wasn’t bad, but it was just so overwritten. 

But let me tell you what REALLY pissed me off. Why the hell would you have a character sacrifice himself when there’s a clear path ahead?! I am all for disability representation, but there’s seems to be something especially cruel about putting a wheelchair user in a situation where speed is key. Had that been approached in a more nuanced way, it could work, but the lack of nuance in tandem with the self immolation was wack. It seemed to attempt to imitate The Mist where help shows up seconds after the sacrifice. And when I say pissed off, I mean really pissed off. Like more than movies usually do. 

There’s some decent pieces here (namely acting and production design), but can’t save a poorly written script.

Still need to see the original.

P.S. IRIS IS COMPHETTING OUT THE WAZOO BECAUSE SHE’S CLEARLY IN LOVE WITH ASH.

Okay so this actually surprised me with how good it was, I know it’s made by the Soska Sisters so there’s a decent aspect of knowing it’s gonna be a decent film from their behalf, but it’s a Tubi original and a no-named cast so I didn’t expect good thing, but how wrong I was. This does follow on from the original Night of the living dead, and you know that from one mention of the 68’ attack, and also the Soskas said at HorrorCon that apparently this film follows the Grandchildren on Ben, so I’m guessing Ash and Luke are his grandchildren, however they don’t really make that evident in the film. There is some bad aspects of this of course, there’s times where I just look at the film and think no why did they do that.. they also made this so so cliche, like at the end with blaze sacrificing himself when he really didn’t have to, like what’s the point. Or having Ty as this really bad guy the whole time who only cared about himself, it would be nice if we could see different things in these films instead of the stereotype characters! There was a lot of bloody swearing in this, but what can I really expect from a Soska film 🤣 however it surprises me that they were allowed to include that much with it only being a Tubi film, unless that’s just me that thinks that lol. The gore, blood, makeup effects were all spot on, the zombies actually didn’t look too bad, I was expecting them to look ALOT worse. I was also so glad when Iris killed loads of zombies with instruments, i was hoping so much they would include it and they did! Also while on that note, Iris was such a great character and if I ever get stuck in a zombie apocalypse I’m staying with her.
