I'm a zombie/post apocalypse genre fan, so perhaps my opinion is biased but at least it's an informed once considering I've seen at least 75% of all the zombie movies and TV shows out there.

This one is focused on the dynamics of the 4 survivors along their journey to a childhood beach vacation spot. We get a break from all the hyper active zombies or even the ones that can barely put one foot in front of the other and cripple-walk their victims down. Lol. We never see any infected people do anything really, except slowly die. I'm ok with this especially because the 4 main characters were interesting enough to watch.

All the acting was pretty good too. Although, there are a couple of scenes that the lead may have overreacted but I've seen real teens/young adults flip their lids out of proportion to what's actually happening. Given the backstory of the lead having to work in the stadium full of the infected and burying people alive, I'd say he's within his character arc to be highly unstable and aggressive when faced with conflict. Lol

I also like that eventually we get to see the codependencies between the brothers, and even some really touching scenes with the little girl and her dad. I almost teared up during the scene where the lead character abandons the father and daughter. That scene was well done.

Overall I think it was a pretty decent B movie.
