I watched this the other day and I really enjoyed it.  It's not really a zombie film... but it kind of is, and I don't want to spoil too much.

Arnold was really good in this, and Abigail wasn't half bad either.

Not what I was expecting, but I thought it was emotionally charged and well executed.

Yeah, I liked it too. It's not great, or amazing, and it could have been better.  But it was worth the watch.

I like that Arnold took a chance with this.  It's not the typical zombie flick.

Not sure about this.

Watched about half before nodding off. Found it quite boring. Wasn't expecting a full on zombie romp but everything about it seemed dull and lifeless. Didn't care for the characters and felt Arnold was so wooden, even more than usual.

Dunno, might give it another go soon.

Yeah, I can see why somebody wouldn't like it.

There was a bit of a filter over the whole thing, really dulled the visuals - but I liked that personally.
