    Vapid

    This feels like students shot a standard zombie movie and later tried to inject a plot in an attempt to gain distribution. It's that disjointed.

    Vapid daughter wants to reconnect with estranged vapid alcoholic father. She logically chooses her birthday party as the ideal setting for the pair to reconnect. Makes sense. The party is in full swing, with vapid actors attempting to fill the void in character development by acting like d-bags. It doesn't work. Eventually one of the vapid characters transforms into a vapid zombie. Various uninteresting things happen. The end.

    The budget was obviously extremely low. The actors were bottom of the call sheet. Despite those limitations, they could have produced an interesting, or at least enjoyable, movie. That they failed to entertain is entirely on them. Two stars.

    Even the actors look bored by it all.

    Competent cinematography, editing and sound, but without a proper story, dialogue, acting and direction the end result doesn't matter...

    Not a worthwhile addition to the zombie genre...

    Well, granted with the low rating this movie have harvested on IMDb, I can't really claim that I had much of any hopes or expectations to it. So why watch it? Well, solely for the reason of it being a zombie movie.

    And this 2018 movie "Epidemic" from writers Stephen Michael Giglio and Adam Romanchik wasn't exactly your average zombie movie. That would either work out in a good or bad way, now wouldn't it? Well, I can't say that what director Stephen Michael Giglio did with the script was working well in favor of the movie.

    There was just too many random elements in the movie, and characters that had little or no impact on the storyline. It just felt a bit too random. Sure, the heart and spirit was there, and it showed, but the movie just wasn't a great movie.

    Storywise then I wasn't impressed. Sure, I managed to sit through the entire movie to the very end. But I can't claim to be particularly entertained, nor enjoying what transpired on the screen.

    The acting in the movie was mediocre, adequate for the movie in a way I would say.

    What did work for "Epidemic" was actually the cosmetics and make-up. They managed to do some rather good make-up and special effects in terms of the wounds and injuries. Some of the zombies, however, well, not so great. But again, the effort and the love for the project was definitely showing.

    Ultimately I found "Epidemic" to be a boring movie that offered no enjoyment and offered nothing interesting to the zombie genre at large. I am rating it a mere two out of ten stars. There was just too much of nothing going on, well aside from a lot of retching white goo from the cast.

    Snooze fest

    Acting was competent however it was just dull and boring with little explanation. I also love how the woman is covering her breast when her husband( boyfriend? It's really not clear) is giving oral sex. They are the only two in the room. If she wasn't willing to do nudity that scene could have been cut and it wouldn't change the "story" one bit.
