Jumbo Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Good flick to take gf to if she's a screamer. Shot in similar to blair/witchcloverfield style (moving camera). the shtick being it's a female tv feature reporter and her dude camera man filming a "night with the firefighters" segment. Similar to combo "outbreak/zombie" virus theme with scenes reminscent of cloverfield/blair witch. Good fun sat nite stuff overall though lots of "done already" aspects and many won't like ending. Acting and production really pretty good, though lead lady's hyperventilating and hysteria mode goes on for long enough to get on your nerves. Wouldn't really recommend it all that much, but it hit the basic fright/tension elements pretty good, even if unoriginal overall, and good action/special effectes even if you've seen it before and it was free to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 If anything, I'm being harsh on it, purposefully. It was a solid notch in quality above the standard fare in all the basic movie-making categories production-wise and well-performed. I find the actual premise more realistic and thus more unnerving than the genre movies it borrows from. Previews: as we are seeing, the new Bond film will be very cool (new trailer) and also a new movie that has a look of Smokin' Aces and those English gangster/action flicks to it called "Rock-n-Rolla" looks cool (crime/action).

FedExFielder Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 It was a good popcorn flick. It's a direct remake of (REC) -A spanish movie, but it was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 A very scary movie. Your comment makes me feel a little jaded But, really, it was, compared to its typical competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzyskins Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 This movie was a huge disappointment IMO. The story was horrible. It was basically 10 people running from zombie like creatures........then one would get killed and there would be 9 people running from zombie like creatures.......and so on and so forth. Big waste of money. I would recommend waiting until Tuesday and just renting "The Strangers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Just saw this movie recently... The story was okay, but... The thing I didn't like about it, was the ending. The ending was horrible. Did anyone else watch the whole movie, and then go at the ending ? like...."that's the best they could do ?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondizzle Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 ***POSSIBLE SPOILER*** We have it, but haven't watched it yet. I'm not really looking forward to it because I heard that they showed the ending in the trailer... it'll probably be one of those "we're drunk and we're just gonna end up getting it on in a few minutes, so let's put on a stupid movie" movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I saw it recently as well. It was a good flick as far as recent horror goes... I just got annoyed at the stupidity displayed in it. None of the characters in these movies are ever my personality type. They all try to help those beyond help in as patient a way as possible. F that. You screw up in a crisis situation and I'm throwing your ass to the wolves before you get everyone killed. As soon as it became obvious what the problem was I looked at my wife and said, find a room and board up the door or at the very least hit the stop button on the elevator between floors.

81artmonk Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 One of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. The shakey cam style of movie making in this particular movie was nausiating. Once you figure out that it's just a hard case of rabies, I just shook my head. About the only freaky part of this moive(which couldn't save it anyway) was the end in the attic in the dark with only the night vision effect. It looked good, but fell flat on it's face. IMO not even worth the rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that style. When the cameraman is in the movie it makes for an awesome experience IMO. I really liked it Cloverfield and felt that characteristic of it added a lot.

I really liked it Cloverfield and felt that characteristic of it added a lot. In cloverfield it was good. Same with BlairWitch since it was the first anyone had sort of done that before. In this movie, it made me sick. The camera was all over the place and moved too much. It's like when someone hands the video cam to their 5 year old to tape a birthday and all you see is blur and peoples feet. It didn't help that the movie itself was lame. Rabies........:doh: I liken it to IT. The movie was really kinda good and kept you interested and yet at the end it's a spider. In this movie they reveiled the Rabies bit about a 1/4 way in. Plus why would they send firefighters to the scene to than trap them inside. Why not just quarintine the building to begin with. If this was a bad case, than why not just do what you gotta do and be done with it. Why all the secrecy and leading the firefighters there and than trapping them..it all just got to be a bit much for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFromYellowstone Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I watched about half of it but it really wasn't my style. I was surprised too because I usually like zombie horror flicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
