A good looking cover to a long, very boring movie with a lot of stupid plots.
This really felt student-y. It had no budget and that is fine because you can work with that. However they did not.
It is really predictable and kinda just runs around all over the place plot wise. The first half of the movie isn't a zombie movie, it is a movie about a single father, then it becomes a zombie movie and then it looses all the zombies and because some sort of scene study about 2 men struggling in an apocalypse situation.
The action scenes are shot really fast and cartoon-y. I struggles to find my bearings when i was watching it.
I would give it a miss as it kinda just dodders around doing nothing for an hour and 20 minutes and then gives you the most predictable ending it could have.

Although he would rather be playing poker and drinking beer with some of his friends, "Tom" (Liam McIntyre) is convinced to spend the weekend with his adolescent daughter "Mira" (Aundrea Smith) camping in the woods instead. While driving there he hears strange reports of violent mobs suddenly breaking out all over but pays no real mind to it. Having then arrived at the camping site the two of them get situated and later on have some dinner with a group of other campers who have also recently arrived. The next morning, however, things change dramatically as those same campers become enraged zombies who swarm the two of them leaving Tom to fight them off while Mira runs into the woods. Eventually, Tom manages to barricade himself inside the camper and tries to come up with a plan to rescue Mira who has managed to allude the zombies but is left on her own without any food or shelter. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had some outstanding action scenes. Unfortunately, the director (David Matalon) had nothing else to contribute as he kept repeating one nearly identical scene after another to the point that the film not only became somewhat monotonous but also quite exhausting to watch as well. At least, it was for me. That being the case, I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
I'm not a massive fan of zombie films. But this movie wasn't too bad. I've seen alot worse.
