Directed by Nick Lyon. Written by Keith Allan and Delondra Williams. Starring Mariel Hemingway, LeVar Burton, French Stewart, Ethan Suplee, Chad Lindberg, Heather Hemmens and Danny Trejo.
Plot: it’s your basic survive the zombie apocalypse movie.
SPOILER ALERT: If you’re looking for a Danny Trejo movie, go somewhere else. This is not the movie for you. Hint: he doesn’t last all that long.
The movie isn’t horrible. It has it’s fun moments. And there’s a dog the doesn’t die. But most of it was just terrible. There’s a lot of good actors and not one of them could save the ridiculous script. The effects were sloppy. The story was weak. I suggest you stay away.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.

This was pretty dreadful and I thought if nothing else Danny Trejo is always fun to watch. As your spoiler alert mentions he wasn’t in it long, which was a huge disappointment. But it was fitting with the movie. Good review and a great warning to others.

Thank you so much. We were pretty disappointed with the Trejo thing too.
