Day X

My first review of a movie...

For fans of Max Brooks and/or conspiracy theorists.

Night of the Living Dead's influence is no more obvious than when the character Jason says "Did you ever see that movie.. the black guy and the.. zombies? Those people in that house?" to character Frank Chambers. And Ken Edwards does do a good job as Frank Chambers, taking charge of a situation we think we know all too well: the zombiegeddon.

No great special effects, but some nice thought-out strategy, if such an unlikely event were to ever occur. Seems the filmmakers didn't really have the money to pull off the battle scenes they needed, but the general atmosphere and mood is great. A bit more blood would've helped things along nicely.

(A slight critique - if you're going to have a "personal video diary" throughout the film, why not make it shakycam so it doesn't seem the same quality as everything else?)
