Zombie Movie: Here Alone (2016)
Apparently I made it 59 minutes into the 112 minute film.
It had to watch this bit by bit at a time, and I'd love to say it's because the atmosphere was so tense, but I think it's just because the pacing was so slow.
Because I was in a constant state of suspense with no payoff or release (insert innuendo here) I literally couldn't sit down and watch this all at once. Or in two parts. Or in three. I just never finished it, then Netflix took it off its site (in Australia, at least).
I didn't trust a single character, which should have been a good thing since the moral of every zombie movie is basically "humans are the monsters you actually need to fear" but for a movie with such a meh tone to it, it means I'm not invested. At all. I don’t even think I trusted the protagonist (what happened to your baby?! Your husband?! Also I’m not looking up the plot because I don’t want to be spoiled which is ironic/dumb considering I’m “reviewing” it, I know)
As much as I would love to say a little more about this movie, all I can remember (since I sadly can’t rewatch it, or finish watching it - thanks Netflix) is mud, camping, masks (wear a mask, people) and a baby and husband who, alarmingly, aren’t here.
See! Mud! Or was it... excrement oh my god was it excrement?!
Okay, I will admit, I think I was shitting myself in this scene. This was the most tense bit of the movie (that I watched) and from what I remember there was... no payoff?
