Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: One for zombie fans and people who like to watch through their fingers. The undead are the backdrop; how people treat each other is the real story. Shelve it next to Dawn of the Dead or Grindhouse.
The mood: Scary.
The pace: Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 29 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: Rated R: expect drug use.
Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

After drug crops are sprayed with a chemical by a passing airplane, the growers of the crop are poisoned by the chemical and turn into zombie-like mutants.
