To me originality in horror is the most important thing, and this film has it in spades. It gives you all the usual enjoyment of a zombie horror but with a great dynamic, which is used to full effect, to make it much more interesting and compelling.
There is something of the Evil Dead about this movie and I would be surprised if the makers weren't heavily influenced by it. The most important thing to note is that it starts off kind of slow and then steadily gains momentum throughout and never loses steam. There is also a good amount of dark humour scattered throughout which I really enjoyed. As for people's issues with shaky cam, I honestly don't get it. I have seen some horrors with terrible camera work that spoils the movie and I didn't even notice anything wrong here.
Overall I was highly impressed by this movie, thinking it was going to be just another generic slasher from the set up and title, but it was much more. There is a chance that this is done on purpose, along with the title, to mislead its audience since it does spend a lot of time on trying to fool you, but in the end it all works and makes the overall effect better, despite seeming trivial at first.
