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.
Indie movie creators have the habit of leaning towards the zombie sub-genre because they are cheap to make. But they still do require money to an extent to look credible and they alike every other genre require some talent.
Made Out Alive is a criminally boring, dull and lifeless zombie film which doesn't deliver on any front. The cast are so generic you could easily mistake one for the other, the script is poor, the soundtrack is bland and the whole movie is outstandingly boring. I don't mean it's because it isn't action packed, it doesn't need to be but it does need to have substance and this is lacking.
Horrible excuse for a movie let alone a zombie one.
The Good:
About 2% of the script
The Bad:
Shoddy editing
Unforgivably boring
Bland characters
Dreadful sound quality
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
I still hate sprinting zombies
When recording a movie it's advisable to use a microphone as opposed to a potato
Thought: Maybe run it through new motion stabilizer software and rerelease.
