Undescribable Perfection
Pretty Good
Absolutely the worst movie.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
The movie is worth repeated viewing, because it not only delivers terrifying (and gory) fight for survival scenes; as the story unfolds, I appreciate the different perspectives of each character. Koodos to the cast and good chemistry, especially the genuine bond between the school teacher and the hybrid / half human "hungry" girl, Melanie. There are many dialogues and fight / flight situations that challenged or changed the characters' view about each other: what defines a human, and more importantly, humanity. The pace and atmosphere effectively alternate between eerie suspense, shocking violence, and brief, contemplative dialogues. The action scenes in this movie reminded me of the frentic atmosphere in 28 Days later; and the interactions between the infected "hungries" and the non-infected characters reminded me of the pathos and moral dilemma presented in District 9. When there is an out-break, there really isn't a line between "us" and "them". We're all in the same boat, depending on the situation.
Not perfect, but enjoyable for sure if this is your genre it will tick all of your boxes. Apparently doesn't stick to the book. but original and worth a watch
I loved this movie. Sort of had an underlying theme like a (good) M. Night Shamylan movie. I wasn't expecting the end and it wasn't until after the movie was over that I found out it was a book... I always like reading the book first.Anyways, the end is not bad. It is the best part of the movie! At face value it can seem sad or upsetting but it is actually quite creative.
I cannot help to think that anyone that has rated this 6 or above is a payed review or watched a different movie ... the entire plot is mediocre at best, dull, long, boring, accompanied by utter poor acting, honestly speaking 6.7/10 is an insult, the first 30 min are watchable ... but it takes a HUGE dive afterwards.
