Heartfelt zombie movie, about family love. I really enjoyed this movie, the acting was excellent from all involved. The special effects was good as well. Man escapes with his wife and two sons from a zombie apocalypse to an isolated farm. This drama zombie horror is a must watch as it takes on a different course. You feel for the whole families pain as you're watching, from the father, wife & two sons. Emotional, and psychological honor ensues. It seems foreign zombie movies are always the ones that are the best for me. I'm a zombie horror fan, and I will definitely be recommending this one on Netflix to my friends.
Aside from what I'm assuming is Tagalog and the Filipino aspect, this is a zombie-infested drama everyone is familiar with by now. It does nothing new, as in a world filled with flesh-eating creatures and the real monsters are often other human beings. See the behavior of the average person when pushed to the extreme with no enforcement of rules or norms to adhere to. Pretty standard.
Starts off as a family drama that eventually spirals into a domestic horror. What makes this worth watching is Sid Lucero and Beauty Gonzalez. They're good. Very convincing. It's just enough to take this boilerplate film to its conclusion. The kids try their best but don't quite sell it, and the special effects are adequate but not particularly noteworthy. Neither is the environment/setting, which almost feels as if you're watching the same scene for over two hours.
I don't want to criticize too harshly. It's just that after 12 years of The Walking Dead and countless zombie games + films/spinoffs later, this is nothing special. You watch this for the talent of the aforementioned actors and maybe an appreciation of the language / culture on display. Outside of being an enthusiast, there's not much else to show up for.

I have to say there was a lot going on considering the entire film is based around a family of four in the middle of nowhere.
It's not jam packed with action but there are some really cool bits and a nice jump scare here and there.
There's a lot of tension in the family, which plays out quite well, and it leans in more to that aspect, rather than the outbreak of zombies.
The zombies are cool though. I like that they seem to repeat the last thing they said before they turned. At least that's what I figured was happening.
A scene with the youngest kid had me chuckling.
Overall a decent little zombie flick for fans of the genre. It's a bit messy but a solid effort.

The only way I could comare this movies is:
"If zombie apocolypse meets johnny from the shining."
It was actually an ok film...just a bit dragged a bit, in some places(its over 2 hours long).
The zombies in this are more creepy(to me) than in most other films where they just growl or screech.
It more a story about the main guy slowly decending into madness, with some zombies in between.
The actors did a good job though. The parents played the stress moments really well.
Just wished there was more zombie action in it(hence the 3 star deduction)...it was still worth the watch...it was a good psychological thriller, if anything. You could totally see what happens, happen, with people like that, in their situation.

As a huge fan of zombie movies, I was really looking forward to this one after seeing the trailer. It promised intense action, suspense, and a fresh take on the undead. But when I actually sat down to watch it, I realized the trailer was the best part. Instead of the thrilling, zombie-filled horror I was expecting, the movie was bogged down with way too much drama. It spent more time focusing on the characters' emotional struggles than on the actual zombie apocalypse. The few action scenes that were there felt forced, and I was left waiting for more of the tension and excitement the trailer teased.
The movie's pacing was slow, with long, drawn-out scenes that made it feel like a soap opera rather than a survival horror. The zombies almost felt like background noise, which is a huge disappointment when you're watching something that's supposed to be about the undead taking over. If you've seen the trailer, you've already witnessed the best moments. It's frustrating because the film had so much potential, but instead of delivering on the high-octane zombie action it promised, it focused too much on unnecessary drama. The trailer raised my hopes, but the actual movie left me feeling disappointed and let down.
