The End?

Main protagonist is trapped in an elevator and fights to survive zombie outbreak in Rome. Nothing special, but nothing bad either. It's a fun film to watch. It's nothing ground breaking, and certainly isn't scary, but it's well acted pure zombie fun, and you should treat it that way. Sure would like like to see more movies like this from Italy :)

Really nice film by Daniele Misischia, well-played and directed with strong acting, compelling storytelling, and lively action scenarios between the dead and staff. Add in the paranoia and rage that comes with being stuck in a elevator, and you got an thrilling horror movie. Alessandro Roja was especially good and ticked all the boxes asked of him as the arrogant and obnoxious office worker who thinks he is God's gift to women, only to be rejected following a fling and then stuck in an elevator as those around him perish to the dead, leaving him largely alone except for a few colleagues along the way and an officer who would perish, leaving him having to find his way out, which he eventually does. Lovely!

I love the pacing in this movie. It wasn't too fast or too slow, yet still held me on my toes as to what would happen to the key protagonist of the film. On the other hand, it would have helped if there was another protagonist to the film, someone to help him keep his head on straight whenever he did panic or start yelling out of frustration.

But all in all the plot was basic but good, it helped that they threw in claustrophobia in there as well.

The story concept was interesting..... But when the show run...... very slow and no any development on THAT trapped MAN! It turned out to be that he was not capable on doing anything to survive indeed! He couldn't even control himself! The story line said that "he was trapped in the metal cage" .... I'd say that "the guy was lucky to be in that metal cage"

If he was not trapped, he would have been killed in seconds!

Boring

They used a lot of mamma's secret pasta sauce on this little Italian zombie flick. A flick that combines a zombie apocalypse back story with another, by now, well known dramatic ploy, that is, being trapped in a lift.

So whilst I can say with candour that The End? does nothing new, its decent pacing, interesting, believable characterisations and basic but watchable zombie action, works quite well.

This film hummed along and kept me wondering what was going to happen to the key protagonist. I did like the nicely rounded end scene too, which injected a little light humour into the otherwise blood soak proposition, this film represents.

I suspect, depending on your sensibilities, you will either like this film, as I did, or hate it. I don't think there will be any "in betweeners" on this one.

7/10 from me.
