This is not the best zombie movie by a long shot, but it is highly original and shot on the supposed budget it was, it is a fascinating piece of film making. The story throws you in at the deep end and comes full circle to give you more insight into Colin's demise and is definitely the best thing about this movie.
We follow Colin's transformation and take in other pieces of his and the city's story as we go. The madness and the carnage all come together with lashings of blood and gore and little humorous pieces (leg snapping goodness and the spine removal) which make this simply a little gem. You follow Colin along, even feeling sympathy for his plight as his story fleshes out, but are kept wondering, what next? Not everything makes sense ... robbing a zombie for his shoes seems HIGHLY unlikely. Having a house party for zombies with you as the buffet food is not a sensible plan when the only weapons available are a concrete block, an umbrella and some saucepans ... such things distract from a decent sense of realism.
The camera work and lighting, as you will read, is not great, but hey, you work with what you have and you improvise, and much of this has worked out fine.
All in all, a great statement to other aspiring film makers that such things can be done on a miniscule budget
