I rented this movie hoping to find a low-budget gem. Instead, I watched one of the lamest films I've ever seen. This one ranks up there with "Howling: New Moon Rising" in total ineptness.
The storyline has much promise: a young couple on a drive through the woods stumble upon a "body", they come into contact with the "body" and are infected with a disease that starts to turn them into zombies, they find a cabin and proceed to act like total morons while they rot. As you can see, this is where the storyline takes a dive.
Nobody would handle this situation like they way these two do. Here are some major flaws: 1. A flat tire means that the vehicle will not start. The girl asks the guy to turn the headlights on and he doesn't want to because the battery will drain. Turn the damn thing on! 2. A flat tire means that the vehicle will not move. Your lives are in danger, do you run through the woods or drive away on a flat? Heaven forbid you drive on the rim. That could damage your vehicle. Running through the woods is the obvious choice.
3. The girl wants the guy to check on things that don't need to be checked on. Go see if that's a body; the bodies gone, go check things out, here's a shovel. Are you kidding me? 4. Getting help is instantly out of the question. Why? What are they hiding? Are they fugitives? 5. The cabin becomes their safe-home. Where were they coming from? Where were they going? Do they have friends or family? None of this seems to matter. Even the girl, who isn't infected for a while, doesn't seem to want to do anything but sit around the cabin. There's a hospital around the corner!!! There's more to write but I've realized I'm wasting my time. No more time needs to be wasted on this movie.
