Plot

During the pandemic, the present camp owner is forced to entertain the new buyer then learns of his evil intentions towards the land. In order to stop the sale he has tricks up his sleeve but a zombie uprising was never one of them.

Cast

Not familiar with anyone involved and nobody stood out.

Verdict

I was alarmed at the low rating before I even pressed play, I've had a lot of instances of this recently and to be fair to the IMDB community there tended to be a reason! But what could it be here? I assumed it was another instance of the spoiled viewers expecting a blockbuster and being frustrated with a low budget effort, that may be partially true.

You see straight away you notice everything looks fine, everything is competent, it develops very slowly but that's okay and I was engaged with the film and the story they were trying to tell. I scratched my head confused at the low rating and then it happened, the first "Action" sequence. You see when the zombie appear (No spoilers here it's a zombie movie!) there are two major problems. First of all the zombies look naff, visually everything in film looks great but the zombies are simply not on the same level so that's a real shame. Second, whenever action occurs they implement a filter that I can only describe as 5fps where everything slows, gets jittery and just looks positively awful.

So I found myself dreading the zombie sequences because they ruined what was otherwise a passable enough film, yes it's slow but it was competent. The rest of the film once everything goes to hell, is cliched, generic and ugly and that's such as shame because I found myself really wanting to like it.

Rants

What were they thinking with that filter/effect? It really is the absolute pits. I'm sure they felt like they had to counter the lack of budget but ironically it made the movie look and feel even more cheap. Night filters are common and dreadful, this right here SO much worse. Without that the zombies still would have looked terrible, but the film would have been a lot more tolerable!

The Good

Surprisingly well made initially Passable cast

The Bad

Zombies are very cheaply made That darn filter!

Very slow burner Falls on too many uninspired cliches.

Who tied 1 guy up? Zombies, where? The whole movie led nowhere. Acting was okay but their characters were terrible. Why even bring wendigo into it?? I think if they had stuck to one premise it may have been better. For me it was a waste of time. Scenery was nice and the campground was one i would definitely stay at but thats about it. Find a better movie to watch ??. I thought it would have more zombies in it then the few at the end. The lead up was good but the movie had no real direction. I'm still curious to how he got tied up. So they were going to mine the land? What did that have to do with anything?

I could barely make it through this movie because despite the plot (middling), the actors were SO BAD. I'm literally typing in other words just so that IMDB will let me tell you how bad the acting was.
