Disaster L.A. (2014)
4/10
Not the WORST I've seen

Warning: Spoilers
First thing you should know about this movie is it is a one/two man outfit, a guy named Tyler and a guy named John, also the name of the main characters. Now you know the above, the movie gains an extra point for that, so in my eyes it goes from a 3 to a 4 purely because its been made on a low budget and by one/two people only. I'm a bit of a fan of B-movies, as generally, they try harder than the Hollywood classic-rip offs we have all grown used to.

The effects are minimal, there is a small amount of blood, the plot/storyline makes little sense considering this is a zombie film. These are running zombies too which have the ability to open door knobs when it suits them but apparently cannot push open a shower door?

The action is slow paced and dull, the characters are honestly misfits you wouldn't want around you during a zombie apocalypse. There is no character build up, characters die and I find myself not caring one bit because I could hardly remember their names.

Decisions made by the characters seem stupid and not very well thought out, nothing is explained and the ending was abysmal, perhaps a small after credit scene showing survivors on the coast or a rebuild going on, the meteors taken away under cloth or something by the army?

There was a lot of potential for this movie, and if this is the directors first movie making attempt I feel it is good in its own right, but it wouldn't be something you'd spend a good bit of money on.
