Zombie Games

I applaud anyone that actually goes out and makes an indie film but unfortunately that effort isn't always worthwhile. Calling this a B movie would be undeserving praise despite having horror alum, Linnea Quigley.

The film is about a zombie plague that comes from bad vaccines after the Corona virus pandemic. The government creates a plan to wipe out all the zombie which will render the earth uninhabitable for the next hundred year but they are creating a safe zone with limited capacity. Somehow with the earth overrun, they manage to create a Hunger Games style reality show for a place in the new Washington.

Everything about this is poor. The acting, the direction, the pacing, the way it was shot, to the overall aesthetic. The first third of the film was a news correspondent covering the back story with a mishmash of public footage and seemingly random video game cinematics, and green screened toy helicopters. The remaining portions were shot using drones from way too far to be useful and body cams for the pov of the contestants used to ill effect and zero care of any kind of framing.

I'd be surprised if someone told me there was a script given the terrible dialogue and the awful unsure delivery of every line. The only exception being the gameshow host who however just seemed like he was annoyingly trying to channel Stanley Tucci's Caesar Flickerman.

Unless you're into hokey, eyerolling cringe, I'd give this one a pass.
