With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of zombie fans and anyone drawn to bleak, what-if futures. The undead are the backdrop; how people treat each other is the real story. Same wavelength as Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It builds a whole broken world and makes you live in it.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 31 min.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
A mysterious disease overtakes the world, and the infected develop a hankering for human flesh. Jim and his fellow Cheapskate Car Rental clerks are oblivious to the changes going on right outside their door, until it literally gets right in their faces. Jim struggles with disgruntled customers, hordes of cannibals, the barely legal April, his certifiable ex-girlfriend Vix (the sexy "Terminatrix"), reconciling issues with his brother, an aversion to guns, and the "pants thing." Can Jim pull it together and rally Louisville's remaining bike gangs and defeat the infected hordes? Maybe with the help of 1000 rounds a minute minigun...
