QUESTIONS: Help a Sistah out...
This film has VERY poor production quality. I get the whole Blair Witch, shaky camera indie bit, but it gets lost in translation when the music and fake a$$ sound effects are sky-high loud and the dialog is barely audible. LOVE the Scottish brogue, watch a ton of foreign films and can understand it just fine, but with such poor sound, subtitles are necessary. Most films with poor sound, what's happening on-screen can carry you past the dialog at times, but this was shot so poorly.
Could have very well become a cult classic if executed better in terms of technical presentation. The classic Night of the Living dead was seemingly "poorly shot", but that was part of the charm because everything else came together. This film just stepped all over itself. Watch parts several times to no avail...
I see from other posts that the filmmakers are in on the discussion (lame). But since you're here - Help a Sistah out...
1. What's implied with her family?
Some became infected, she killed them - infected and non-infected - hard to know what an "infected" actually is in this film. April was then was locked up? Broke out/let go, came back home, set up the old constantine perimeter and began target practice with an extended case of PMS?
2. Are we to understand that April is apparently immune, but wants no one to know? Is not "used" to other people? It's only been 6 months since the breakout, not enough time to become 100% hermit/a-social.
3. Kate, the chick that shows up. What was she trying to accomplish? Was she trying to take April somewhere to produce a vaccine, knowing April is immune? Or was she just trying to do away with April and take her place on the farm? If this is the case, just drug her and lay her out in the field for the zombies.
4. Are we to assume that Kate was infected from the start, but able to act normal or was she just crazy? Or, was she infected after she crashed and wandered off?
5. Where was the dog in the end? Did they just leave him tied up? He wasn't in the car. The last we see him, he's tied up and barking as Kate drives away with April only to crash. A good ending ALWAYS saves the dog at the end. I may have rated it higher had they saved the pooch - hee-hee-hee...
Rename the film to: "What they say?!" (strains to hear, frowns with nose scrunched, mouth opens by default)
UPDATE: 11/6/2013: I failed to give KUDOS to the film makers for a new take on the genre. I liked the twist on the form of zombie.
