Title: I wanted to like this film
Product review: I am a fan of independent film, and a black-and-white zombie film--well, Romero and the originalNight of the Living Deadcertainly come to mind. Unfortunately, I found too little here to like.The film begins with a man named Eric killing a zombie. Soon, Greg and Jesse show up, claiming their car has broken down and asking for shelter. Eric reluctantly takes them into his RV and then begins with a series of statements redolent of macho nonsense. Since he has the gun, it seems Greg and Jesse have no choice but to go along. And yet they don't.The main problem for me with this film was the combination of stilted acting and the characters' ill-considered choices. The 23-minute film is not long enough to explore the claustrophobia that was so effective in Romero's film, and the characters (or actors) are never really free to escape their one-dimensional roles.
