Plot: a reporter and her cameraman record an outbreak that turns people into zombies when they become trapped in an apartment building.
Angela (Velasco) and her cameraman, Pablo (Rosso), are working with a fire department to make a documentary when they get a call to come to an apartment building because an elderly woman is freaking out. Once they and the police get there, they approach the woman and she bites one of the officers setting off a severely uneasy chain of events.
I was glued to the edge of my seat nearly the whole time. It’s disturbing and gross, but the effects were ridiculously well done. And it’s also very well acted. Not everyone in the movie is likable, but other things made you see past that. There was a good motive, it followed rules, had a great story and was pretty realistic.
At only 78 minutes, it’s a really short movie to watch. It’d be easier if it wasn’t in Spanish, but we’ve never minded subtitles. If you do, I suppose you could watch it dubbed, but I think it takes something away from it myself. In any case though, we do recommend you watch it.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
