OK, I feel bad for just branding a film as rubbish and not giving more of an explanation. The film starts with the terrorist attack, and at this early stage of the movie I was interested but made aware there was a very small if non-existent budget for this movie. We then cut to an off duty ambulance driver rushing a critically injured man and his daughter to receive medical attention for what looked like a bite, but could have due to the attack that sets up the film. I was at this point that the level of acting that was to follow became apparent. The constant barrage of "we will be there soon" and "hang on a few more minutes" were not convincing in the least however, I can forgive one bad actor so happily went along with the story. They arrive at the place where the father can recieve treatment (I dont know if this was an emergancy medical facility set up due to the terrorist attack or wether they just couldnt get exterior shots of a hospital but the place they go to was a large house that from the outside looked like it only had a few floors but once inside we were made to believe that the place was far bigger and required lifts). Our main protagonist faints while her father is receiving treatment and hits her head on the tiled floor, once she comes to, everyone is gone and the place is a wreck. The main character was obviously moved whilst unconscious and therefore survived the chaos that occurred . As she wonders around the facility looking for her father she runs into a rather poorly made up zombie and during this attack another character appears and kills the zombie. She freaks out about this as at this point she is unaware that they are ravenous monsters and believes that the man who saved her has killed someone. We are then treated to a strange conversation about what has happened and it was at this moment that I lost all interest in this movie. The character that saves her is beyond terrible, he did not deliver a single line in a believable way and really shouldn't have been in the film. The film just deteriorates from there, the sets looked like they were hastily constructed and many were built using unfinished wood that they didn't even bother to paint, or shots of the same corridor over and over. The zombies themselves were also badly done and in more than one shot several zombies are dressed identically and standing next to each other.
The story was decent enough but the quality of the rest of the movie ruined any chance this had from the get go. Avoid this film, its not worth your time.
