I recently saw this movie that I hoped would ring true of the likes of "Shawn of The Dead"- but it was not even close. Really a let down.
The Story
A small Town is overrun by the undead due to global axis tilt due to Fraking. The Characters introduced- The Sheriff's Department, a Couple of Store Owners, and other working Joes and such are introduced in a horribly boring way; Even Bill Murray's Character is a snooze. Ugh that was a shame. The Atory follows standard Zombie parlance- slowly the undead take over with the main Charaters running and surviving with foreshadow, action and charater growth.
However, none of these things happen.
The foreshadowing goes nowhere, perhaps on purpose as it may be "artsy", as the Director is known for it. I mean, one Character, The Town Mortician is shown to be an expert swords-woman and slowly fights her way (to help the main characters, perhaps?) No. The Woman is taken up in a frekin alien Flying Saucer. No reason for it. A Hermit who the sheriff Characters seem to have a respectful relationship doesn't' save then at the end even when he could have. A group of 20-somethings are introduced and they all die half-wat through. No reason or story to it. We assume the will team-up some of the other Characters.
I mean no one survives. Silly ego and a waste of Film.
