7/10
Was worth Seeing

Warning: Spoilers
Good concept and pulls you in quickly. There was no explanation of what caused people to disappear, why the shadows were hunting those left alive and the end left no conclusions. To me this is a great way to tell the story because you can relate and feel what the characters in the movie felt, they didn't know why it happened or have any explanation and we as the audience were able to take a walk in their shoes, not all mysteries can be explained.

The musical score in the background was repetitive and after a few times of it looping it lost it's spooky factor. I think the main thing that baffled me was the fact that they did not use fire more. Your in a bar with wood furniture and gallons of flammable materials, get a fire going not to mention all the gasoline left in the thousands of abandoned cars. The used one torch and a few candles when they could have kept a bonfire going pretty much indefinitely.

Overall not a bad movie and as a fan of the apocalyptic style movies I enjoyed it. Gave it a 7/10
