Don T Feb 23 Absolutely awful. One of the worst ever and I watch A LOT OF MOVIES. Ten minutes in and I am done. See more Bret M. @BretM-3 Feb 22 SPOILER ALERT!!! This is an interesting film. I really enjoyed the fact that the characters were stuck in a grocery store. That was cool. This movie also kind of explores the same themes that the book “Lord of the Flies” does: the decent of man into savagery and primitive state when resources are taken and humans live without the natures of everyday life. It worked there, and it works here. Seeing some of the stuff that the people in the store do to other people is wild! But possibly the best part of this movie is the end. Man, that ending is traumatizing!! The worst part of the movie to me is that the VFX feels very outdated and look pretty bad. But that’s a minor complaint. Overall, this movie is pretty good. It’s not absolute cinema, but it’s not necessarily bad either. It’s still worth watching though! See more Dallas H @FozzieMcFly Feb 22 I remember the first time I ever watched this movie, it was at a theater during its original theatrical run. At the time, I was thinking the entire movie was campy as hell, but then it breaks out with that intense ending, like a sledgehammer. With each viewing since, I have more and more respect for the storytelling, which keeps the dynamics of personality conflicts among an ensemble cast from becoming a chaotic mess. There is a remastered black-and-white version of this movie that I recommend to anyone who can grab a copy. See more Tyson D. @Spudsprout Feb 18 (Overall Rating: 2.08/5) (Bad) ----- (Cinematography/Atmosphere: 2.5/5) I should have felt more claustrophobic, but I didn't. The effects were ok. Overall it felt very average. --- (Storyline/Plot: 2/5) There were a lot of unanswered questions. The ending could have been great. I do love a good gut punch but this one felt lazy so it did not have the intended effect. --- (Acting: 1.5/5) There were no stand outs at all and unfortunately the main characters were acted the most poorly. --- (Character Quality: 2/5) All of the characters were very cliche, some of them were dynamic and changed throughout but overall the characters were annoyingly unrealistic and dense. --- (Entertainment Value: 2/5) This movie did not need to be as long as it was. The pandemonium chaos scenes were ok but otherwise a slow, boring movie. --- (Expectations vs. Reality: 2.5/5) This movie has been out for almost two decades and this is my first viewing. I knew the ending so I wasn't shocked. The movie is what I expected it to be, no more, no less. See more Merrill J @NoZombeez Feb 2 I am an agreeable person. I make an effort to like the movies I watch. Especially movies I paid money to see. Even movies I don’t really get into, I try. It takes a lot to make me hate a movie. I hate this movie with the intensity of a magnesium fire. I looked over the cliche cardboard cutout characters. The cringy special effects. The bland not very likable main character. The inane love story that had no business in the film. I tried really really hard to root for these characters in spite of the slow pacing and the ridiculous unresolved plot. I kept thinking the end would have to pay off since they’re not going to explain why. Did it pay off? No. The end was a BAG OVER THE HEAD AND SHOVEL TO THE FACE! The movie mocked these characters for making the only correct choice earlier in the film, and thus mocked these characters audience for being stupid enough to root for them. I hate movies that actively mock me no. See more Graham B @Ilikemovies154 Jan 9 Lots of people think this movie is just okay and I watched it and I was absolutely blown away. The storytelling and atmosphere is absolutely fantastic, the characters are great, But what makes this movie with my favorite horror films of all time is the amazing depiction of how humans can be scarier than monsters if they are desperate enough. Absolute must watch 10 out of 10. See more Read all reviews
