DVD.COM Rental(Netflix DVD): Daylight's End

Not bad for cheap rental!

So, it's actually a vampire movie, not zombie.  It still moves like a zombie flick.  Reminded me little bit of 28 Days Later, i.e., monsters move fast.  Cheap production, acting's sometimes good, sometimes bad.... I thought the dialogues were really cheesy.  Still, if you like zombies, nothing you couldn't overlook.  I recommend this one.

What surprised me was the gun play & tactical moves.  I know next to nothing about SWAT, or military, but the good guys really seemed like they knew what they were doing, with how they cleared buildings, or where they were pointing the firearms doing it.  I don't know, it looked authentic.

Really light on the script, heavy on the action.

New Zombie Flick on Netflix: "What We Become"

It's subtitled, but don't let that scare you!

For zombie flicks, I don't know about you, but I lower the bar.  Unfortunately, zombie movies generally feature lower production value compared to mainstream.  But just for being a zombie flick, I tack on a extra star when rating one.

What We Became is a really cool zombie film.  For most, it maybe a 3-star film.  For me, it's somewhere between a 4 & 5.  Cliche' zombie weapons, check(bat, crowbar, rifles, etc.).  Realistic military intervention, check..... Actually, that's enough for me to add another star on a zombie flick.  lol

Well acted, above average production value.  Character development was to the point that its 1 hour 20 minute runtime actually feels too short.  To me, it had enough here to easily fill twelve 1-hour episodes if it was a TV series.  However, it doesn't necessarily mean that "it was so good, it was too short."  In my opinion, they either didn't have enough scenes/footage shot to pace the film properly, or that whomever edited this thing chopped the movie in half.  Maybe in the second half of the film, especially towards the end, everything just happened too fast, like 3X too fast.  Had this film been say two hours long, it might've been a true five-star zombie film.

Another Netflix win.  They sure know what we like!
