Nice effort, but flawed...

Concept and setting were good, acting and camera work were mostly pretty good. Directing, scene plotting and plot development left a lot to be desired. Some events were too unclear; some character actions seemed random or lacked explanation.

Normally I'm okay with artistic plot devices that leave something to the imagination, but when critical events occur that leave you unclear about WHAT happened and not just WHY, it becomes annoying. Also I'm not sure if these were actual "artistic devices" or just plain bad editing.

Bloopers: Guns were obtained and then suddenly seemed to be no longer present or changed hands without explanation at least three times. At least two critical events were somehow skipped over or something so that it was hard to know what happened. The "zombies" and effects were OK, but only OK. Nice try guys, but it needs work.

It's a pity, this could have been a six-star movie, but I can only give it a four due to its flaws.
