Reviews:
“Sadly, writer-director Sean Cain undoes any of his good work by using a zombie outbreak to frame an uninteresting and melodramatic love triangle. It’s as if a bunch of zombies just wandered into the middle of a series of As The World Turns. Cain throws in some decent special effects now and again, there’s a fun (though far too obvious) homage to Reservoir Dogs within the first 5-10 minutes…” For It Is Man’s Number
“I’ll give writer-director Sean Cain decent marks for his attempts to do something a little bit different with the film. The theme of people struggling with personal problems during mass chaos extends from Romero’s efforts, but I don’t think we’ve ever seen a full-blown love triangle in Romero’s zombielands. I liked that Cain focused on the emotional elements, although some viewers might find it a bit soap opera-like.” Video Junkie
“The characters are well-written and three-dimensional, and the character development is strong. That is not to say that this doesn’t have zombie survival thrills and action. It’s only a little movie and nothing you’d write home about, but it’s an enjoyable one.” The Worldwide Celluloid Massacre
