If you're into zombie movies then this is a good one to throw on the tv. Not to give away any spoilers, The ending was perfect for this film.
Good movie, although two things: the second half is far better than the first (it starts pretty typically and seems run of the mill) and the second is I wish there would've been more realistic reactions to a person getting bludgeoned to death (as well as the other deaths that occur and the relative nonchalance with which it's observed).
If you think zombie apocalypse movies have run their course, think again. This award winner, made on a micro budget, seems to have at its core a real passion for the movies that gave birth to this genre in the first place, not the slick Hollywood stuff bleeding more cash than effort. Darn good acting throughout and I hope to see more from this ambitious team, maybe with a real budget., they sure deserve it.
When the Fever Breaks is a movie made with one of the smallest budgets possibly, probably written, produced, directed by a few friends that decided to try their luck with a horror, a cheaper experience, especially if you bind it with the zombie or in the woods genre.
What I truly disliked about it is the fact that they didn't try to develop their own vision, but copied everything already seen on the screen, in order to make it feel like a movie. So we have the most stereotypical characters combined with standard dialogue lines and reactions that make no sense but always seem to find their way in these movies. The action is easy to predict, fighting scenes are sped up but constantly with shaking blackouts, and overall a bore of a view.
When you start from rock bottom, usually, your only way is up, but somehow sadly here they decided to crawl along, move a little and call it a day. I wish I could appreciate the effort put into it, but there is none, even tho they found a way to make this work, a horror in a house, zombies outside, easily a tribute to Night of the Living Dead, yet the final product is weak and uninteresting.
I say, do try, and try again, only that next time, be brave and show us something different. Something that came from your own imagination and not copying what others did so many times before. I look forward into that.
Cheers!

There are a lot of zombies around (especially in the indie space) unfortunately most are just a cash grab that don't offer much in more that blood and gore. However this one feels true and honest in it's approach to the genre. Plus its a well crafted film that is actually scary. Imagine that, a scary zombie movie... who would have thought. George Romero would be proud, definitely worth checking out.
