Strain 100

This movie is one of the worst directed, worst written, and worst acted zombie movies I have seen in awhile. Just skip it and find anything else. The ending, if u can even call it that, makes no sense, basically the movie just stops. Stop making movies with your kids pocket money. I just don't get what was the whole point, it just sucks so hard that I can't believe this has been done intentionally - surely something went horribly wrong somewhere, there has to be some excuse for the lack of any intelligence.

It's a low budget zombie film made during a pandemic. I would say it's a straight to TV movie but it's also adult R/18 rated so unlikely to gain a prime time slot.

If you like the dawn of the dead movie or the walking dead you will likely find this reasonably entertaining otherwise it's not good but not comically terrible either.

Production quality inconsistency is where this one falls apart. Some of the Make-Up and Effects work is good, a lot of it is very bad. Same goes with the location sound, first scene in the diner is all over the place, as is the audio in the Caprice, where the window is wide open and there's no atmos track for the air rushing past. Shots within the same scene have widely different exposure and grade, and as for the script, there's dialog in the car scenes that adds nothing to the plot, just an excuse for the writers personal diatribe. A bigger budget wouldn't save this one, but a good production designer and 1AD could have turned it in to a good low budget or Indie monster flick.

This movie popped up on a few sites. As per usual, I looked up a few that seemed ok. This has a high rating. What the hell. There weren't any comments. So, I'll give it a shot.

During the first few minutes, it was apparent that this was one slated for the 3 and below star group. Do not waste your time. It isn't even "so bad, it's good". It is just bad. Bad acting. Bad script. Syfy channel worthy special effects.

I thought it was pretty good. Not a bad plot line and the actors are good.
