Reading through all the bad reviews on here and I won't lie, almost all the comments and points made are valid. That being said, I watched the movie without knowing anything about it, and despite rolling my eyes a few times at the obvious plot holes, I still had fun watching. The mashing of the zombie and heist genres was fun, the action and gore was turned up to eleven. Good watch if you're in the mood for some mindless entertainment.

A simple but creepy concept had me intrigued by this movie as soon as I saw the trailer. It had a lot of potential but I couldn't help but to be taken out of the movie by the way it was shot.

They chose to make a 'found footage' or documentary style movie, which can be great if they are done right. However the super consistent use of blurry, shaky, close up shots flying all over the screen made it pretty difficult to watch.

Also, if everything is meant to be shot by these student filmmaker characters, keep it that way throughout the entire film. So many times a character would go off on their own or we could clearly see the characters weren't filming anymore, yet we saw everything through the same style of close up, shaky, multiple camera footage as if they were still shooting. It just annoyed me and I grew bored watching. If you want to see a really good found footage film, watch Cloverfield.
