New Year's Day

The man from the Saw legacy. What can I say. It's bloody but the only thing that bothers me is the shaky camera and the use of slomo while people are attacked. Again, the story is very simple and as said in my summary, it is a combination of 28 Days Later and Splinter. Due to a chemical fire people are changing into flesh eating kind of zombies. That part made me think of 28 Days Later. But their bodies transform into weird shapes and that part reminded me, as did their noises, of the movie Splinter. What everybody is saying that all episodes were written in a fast way. the ending is mostly huh, what the f***. This episode works for some parts but again, it isn't Masters of Horror, sad but true.

I just re-found this old series and this is my second episode to watch. It's about the worst zombie short I've ever seen. There was no storyline. It was just scene cuts from the living to the undead, one after another.

How did this get through the previews at the studio and onto the air? How did anyone think this was good enough to air?

I'm rating it a one-star. And I don't think I've ever rated anything so lowly. There was just nothing here of redeeming quality. Just one random scene after another.

If you're into zombie flicks and thinking about watching this, take my advice and pick something else. I wish I would have. Now there's a lost hour that I'll never get back.

On the New Year's Day, the young woman Helen awakes dazed and confused with hangover and without recollections of the previous night. Soon she finds that the world is chaotic with zombies everywhere. Her friend Christie calls her and asks Helen to go to the apartment of her boyfriend James. Along her dangerous journey through the streets, she has flashbacks until the complete recollection of the events when she meets Christie and James.

"New Year's Day" is a terrible zombie episode of "Fear Itself". The messy screenplay and edition does not help the poor story. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Fear Itself - New Year's Day"

I'm so freaking tired of shows/movies thinking making cut aways during whatever point in the plot means flashbacks . You could simply have them tell it quickly to another actor

OR just not have it at all when its legit pointless I feel like that has no real drive to the story.

Whoever decided her stupid crush/love/roommate needed to play this much of a part that feels like it took up 20 mins of a 40 min zombie episode please don't ever write or direct again.

Its like if you threw in some twist just because, it doesn't fit but you're checking boxes for some odd reason.

This episode falls flat hard because of it.
