A lister, Action Hero, ICON... what else can Arnold do? Well, I'm convinced he can do it all. When I first heard that Arnold was going to be in a 'Zombie' film, I laughed. First thinking "here we go, a cheesy 80's style Zombie action film" to cash in on the current Zombie trend. I was certain that something like this would finally kill the Zombie fascination, like Twilight killed the Vampire genre.

I am SOOO glad I was wrong here! This a smart, well told tale from a different perspective. The emotions this movie evokes were surprising for me. Again I expected this to be Predator's DUTCH Vs. ZOMBIES, in a small was I was kinda hoping it was, but this is much much better.

Similar in feel to The Crazies (especially the re-made version) and The Road in it's darkened visual approach, the performances from the entire cast were dead on perfect. Too bad awards shows don't have the guts to acknowledge great films from these genres, this one is worthy of a few.
