A few thoughts: For a movie that has this much going for it and only a couple real problems, it's a shame those few problems are so unavoidable, because I could've easily loved this movie with only a few adjustments. You see, the cinematography in this movie is so shaky and distracting, I not only couldn't tell what was happening a lot of the time, but found myself getting irritated by how much I wished I could see what was happening because it seemed like it would be cool to look at. From what I could see, the effects were pretty neat, and the action-heavy scenes were rally intense, but they were inherently disorienting. I enjoyed the characters and how the relationship between the couple and the convict gradually and naturally became less hostile as it progressed. The monster design and concept was really awesome, taking a sort of weird blend of zombie, body horror, natural horror, and almost torture porn and making it all work. The acting was good, the dialogue was good, the effects were good, etc. But that cinematography... oh well.
People who enjoy really grotesque and somewhat unique zombie-style body horror movies.
My grade: C+
