Rebirth (2020)

Rebirth was written and directed by Roger Conners. I am assuming it is a self funded passion project – but I am totally guessing.

The movie starts with two brothers visiting their family gravesite. We are then quickly introduced to our Zombies. These Zombies have glowing eyes.

There are just so many things that don’t quite work for Rebirth. The dialogue is a little rough around the edges. The special effects are not so great, and the movie forgets that the focus should be on the Zombies. I found the glowing eye effect to be very distracting. It felt like someone with poor CGI experience doing a school project. I’m sorry if you were the CGI coordinator. The special effect were just so poorly done.

All in all Rebirth earned itself a 10/100, making it Just Bad. I challenge you to watch this from start to finish without taking a drink. Yes, this movie made me want to drink. Not only want, but it made me actually drink. There was just no way to power through it otherwise. I’m a week man.

If you are looking for a decent low budget Zombie Movie I recommend The Battery.

Ultimate Zombie Feast (2020)

I’m breaking Ultimate Zombie Feast down into the shorts that it is made up from.

Overall, the total packaged scored a 66/100, which is the average of the nine shorts below. Let me know if you agree with my scores in the comments. This makes Zombie Feast just one point into Worth Your Time territory.





Zombies and Cigarettes

Zombies and Cigarettes begins at 0:00 minutes and ends around 14:30 minutes.

The main character is at the mall, clearly interested in one of his female coworkers when all hell breaks out. The mall is overrun by the undead, and only a small band of survivors are left. They quickly form a plan to try and get to the parking lot and escape, but the Zombies are everywhere.

The filmography is really good, and while the native language is Spanish the text seems well translated and makes sense. (I’ve had some subtitles that were clearly done by a PC. That means they didn’t make any sense with what was going on.)

Zombies and Cigarettes Scoring

As the initial short it was strongly done. At least up till about 7/10ths of the way through when we find out that the Zombies destroyed by perfume? How? We don’t ever get any info on that, which makes the ending seem a little abrupt. I know its a short, but still.

We then get to the other side of this short there is a small twist. This is really a love story about how the main character strikes out. Right up to the end of the short…ouch. Overall I’m giving Zombies and Cigarettes a 66/100.



Bitten

This short begins at 15:20 and and at 21:00 .

Bitten opens with a woman desperately locking herself inside her apartment. Blood splatter is visible on her shirt as she struggles to lock the door. When she turns around we see she’s been bitten, and has a nasty wound on her neck.

Really Painful Hickey?

Inside we see that the apartment is safe. There is evidence of violence on the walls, the mirror, and smeared across the cabinets.

As our victim slowly turns we get flashbacks of what happened. The special effects were really well done. I can see the emotional impact the short is trying for, but for me, it didn’t satisfy that Zombie craving. There was gore, and there was a little bit of violence, but who wants to see mum stab her (presumably infected) family to death?

Bitten scores a 50/100.



Dead Hungry

This begins at 22:00 and ends at 29:45.

Dead Hungry opens with a late middle aged Zombie in coveralls wandering through the woods. The Zombie sadly groans, “Brains,” every so often. Farmer Zombie is of the classic slow variety. Even after he finds two campers trying to get it on, he can’t score a bite.

The next scene has kids retreating to a cabin. The cabin is surrounded by the Undead, and our Farmer Zombie end up losing an arm. There is also a bit of Zombie Love going on? Farmer Zombie seems to recognize one of the lady Zombies?

Zombie Love

In the end, our Farmer Zombie did get a snack, but he didn’t get to keep his love? Unless eating her brains counts?

Dead Hungry was short and overall a little silly. But it is worth watching on a Rainy Day as it scored a 60/100.



The Skin of Your Teeth

This short begins at 30:55 and ends at 44:30.

The Skin of Your Teeth opens with a man putting a few more nails in his boarded up windows. Outside a woman waters their garden. As night falls they take shelter in their little country home while listening to the radio. The broadcast warns them to stay inside.

The morning begins with two men waking in the woods. They look nervous and anxious as they walk their bikes along the woods. At least until they get to the farm house. The group knows each other and the campers are greeted with hugs and smiles.

The next day we see our first Zombie. The group quickly takes it out before dragging the body to the pile. Apparently our farmers have been taking care of business.

Body Pile

Why did they cover the pile with a tarp? Why not make a burn pit or just dump them? While two of the men are distracted with the bodies, another Zombie almost gets to the woman as she’s farming.

Someplace Safer?

The farming couple wants to find someplace safer. The two who came from the city seem to think the farm is a good place to stay. They have food, and lots of open ground to see the Zombies coming.

The group is woken in the morning by a Zombie banging at their boarded up window. This Zombie is quickly shot, and drug to the pile. As they are are placing the latest Zombie on the pile we see a horde come over the hill. This was an awesome scene:

The Horde Cometh

Sadly, one of the campers doesn’t make it back as the group flees to the farmhouse which is quickly overrun. The surviving men get quickly pulled down and the woman is forced to flee. She makes it to a grain silo where she is trapped, holding off the horde with a piece of plywood.

And thus ends The Skin of Your Teeth.

The Skin of Your Teeth Scoring

There was so much potential with this short. Even if the Zombie effects were really basic, the scene where they come over the hill was just epic. The ending on the other hand was a bit weak in my opinion. Which cost The Skin of Your Teeth some points.

The Skin of Your Teeth just squeaked by into Worth Your Time territory with a score of 70/100.



Arise

Arise begins at 46:00 and ends at 1:01.

There is not a lot going on for XXX. The audio quality is pretty bad, and for a Zombie short, the action takes forever to get started.

The dialogue is C+ at best. The whole short should have started when the main character, Dan got back from his food run. Everything before that is basically just filler.

There is a good bit of gore though, so I’m giving the gore a B+. But the special effects are a solid C.

Drill Press Kill

I did like the ending, but the overall production values are a bit lacking, so Arise is getting a 63/100.



Zomblies

This short begins at 1:03:30 and ends at 1:47:50.

Zomblies begins with a man an camo running through the forest. He is shooting Zombies as he comes across them while screaming for Porosa. Porosa is nowhere to be found, but he does find one of his buddies who’s been gutted. He briefly tries to help, but runs when its clear the wounded man isn’t going to make it. The wounded man turns quickly and appears to hunt down his buddy. We then cut over to a woman calling for help on a radio. A group of government and military leaders listen to her from around a boardroom table. Whatever is going on, no one at the table seems surprised.

When we cut back to the wilderness. There is a small caption telling us we are 15 miles west of “The Wall” before seeing a squad of soldiers come up out of the water in classic action movie style.

Water Entrance

The soldiers quickly encounter a swarm of fast moving Zombies and run for the high ground. The soldiers enjoy some target practice as they search for the signal of the last team who’d been sent in.

For a group of elite soldiers, they seem undisciplined. Their most critical piece of gear, their radio, rapidly breaks, forcing the group to go find the radio from the first team who they’ve lost contact with.

The team is quickly overrun as they move north, but it does lead to some nice Zombie Violence.

Zombie Kills

Run & Gun

There are lots of Zombies in the woods, and the team is forced to run and gun as they flee. They don’t seem overly burdened with gear, at least not visibly. They are apparently carrying a ton of ammo, because they are blowing through it really quick.

We then see a montage of soldiers running across fields. The control center tracks them via satellite before the rangers find themselves in what looks like an abandoned industrial complex. For some reason they take a sample from a Zombie. This is done with no gloves, and no face shield. Which of course means the Zombie the soldier is collecting a sample from coughs blood into his face and eyes.

We then get to meet Porosa, who rapidly gets bit, and hides it from the team. We get introduced to one more survivor before the soldier who caught the blood spit in his eyes blows his head off, apparently realizing he’s been infected.

The group is then overrun and forced to flee but the control center wants them to bring back samples – which happen to be with the soldier who blew his head off.

There is a lot of Zombie action, hordes of undead, a bombing run by jets, a motorcycle escape with lots of explosions, and then the team reaches The Wall, were the auto turrets are quickly turned on them. Luckily for the sole survivor, the guns can’t point down right at the base of the wall.

Wall Turrets

Zomblies Scoring

Zomblies is by far the longest episode so far, and it clearly had a much larger budget than the other shorts so far. There are good special effects, tons of Zombies and fighting, but, it only scored a 71/100.

Why? The plot is pretty bad, the dialogue is horrible, and people yell and scream for no reason that makes any sense. With a better story, better dialogue, and some slightly better directed actors, this could have been an awesome short, instead of being at the lower end of the Worth Your Time scale.



Fear of the Living Dead

This short begins at 1:50:30 and ends at 2:06:00.

Fear of the Living Dead opens with a young woman walking down the street, an axe in hand. The infection is two weeks old. She enters a home, her ax at the ready as she searches the home. In the back she finds a Zombie having some dinner, and does a little bit of Zombie whacking.

Time To Swing That Ax

With the house cleared she raids the cupboards for some supplies before heading out into the woods where she encounters a few more hungry undead which she quickly dispatches.

After finding a cabin to sleep in our heroine gets disturbed midway through the night be a female Zombie which she destroys quickly. Apparently she’s not so good about clearing spaces she’s going to be sleeping in?

Bitten!

The next day she finds another survivor who is alarmed by the bitemarks on her arm. She has been bitten, multiple times, but she thinks she is immune.

She wants to keep moving, but the male survivor wants to stay put. In the end the pull of company makes him follow her back out into the Zombie infested streets.

After entering a random home to find supplies, the male survivor uses his pistol to kill a Zombie inside the house, which brings all the local Zombies in to investigate.

Surrounded

Thanks to some luck and a few pistol shots the pair escapes, but not before our female survivor gets a few fingers bitten off. They find a vehicle and flee to a safe place.

This is when things take a turn. There is a nice little twist. It’s not overall original, but it was a surprise, which earned Fear of the Living Dead a 75/100. There isn’t much dialogue, and there is a “College Project” feel to Fear of the Living Dead, but it is Worth Your Time.



Not Even Death

Not Even Death begins at 2:07:00 and ends at 2:12:00.

The final short opens with a man slowly going into his shed to fed his now Zombie girl. Jackie has clearly seen better days.

Jackie

After making his wife angry because he only has one cow brain, Jackie gets pissed. She clearly doesn’t remember her husband, and him yelling at her about their daughter doesn’t seem to do much.

Angered, Jackie escapes just as her husband trips, which results in him getting bitten. As she’s tearing into dinner, who comes to the stop of the steps but the daughter, and thus this very short short, ends.

Not Even Death has some good subtle backstory that was put in as the husband is talking about getting brains for Jackie, but the overall content isn’t anything new, which is why Not Even Death scored a 60/100.



Paris By Night Of The Living Dead

Paris By Night Of The Living Dead begins at 2:13:00 and ends at 2:25:00.

This French short begins with a couple getting married, which includes a promise to send the other to heaven if they turn into one of the undead before jumping right into the action.

Zombie Killing Action

There is fairly nonstop, over the top Zombie killing action which culminates in the wife having to uphold her vows after her husband gets bitten. She uses a rocket on him and somehow gets bitten when his head lands on her leg.

The short ends with the two of them kidding, surrounded by other Zombies.

As silly as it was, I’m giving this episode an 80/100 as it jumped right into the action and didn’t let up.

Deadlocked (2020)

Deadlocked is a movie that takes almost entirely in elevator. A small group is stranded in an elevator just as the Zombie Apocalypse starts. It is an interesting idea but there were clearly limitations on what the production team was able to pull off.

Deadlocked Score

Deadlocked is a low budget movie. If you are expecting a ton of action and CGI, this might not be the flick for you. If this were a college project I’d likely give it an 85, but as a commercial Zombie Movie I’m giving it a 35/100, putting it just a single point into Rainy Day Movie territory. Just a few points lower and it would have been a “Just Bad” movie.

The good news is that the movie did get better as it went along. It starts really slow, but does pick up during the last 20 minutes or so. My advice is to have a few drinks, and save Deadlocked for a really rainy, dreary day.

Strain 100 (2020)

For fans of Demolition Ranch/Off The Ranch, you are going to recognize Matt and Hickock45. They had teased this zombie movie some time ago, and now it is out. Strain 100 has a simple, straight forward premise. A woman is in a car accident and when she wakes up, people are snacking on people.

My first thought as I watched the first few minutes was surprise. I was honestly not expecting the level of cinematography. A part of me was assuming this was going to be college movie project quality. So it was a pleasant surprise how good the cinematography was. Unfortunately, the professional quality of the cinematography didn’t carry over to the special effects. They might have had a high quality camera but that didn’t leave much money left over for special effects. The blood squirts are B- to straight B quality at best.

Time to Run

After a brief into where a scientist panics and tells her daughter Jesse to get someplace safe and hold up. The next thing we see is how Jesse ends up on the side of the road. Literally, we see her in her car which is on its side, on the road.

Jesse’s girlfriend, who she was trying to save after the girl was bitten at camp, has turned. This leads to a nice bit of gore in the car as Jesse is forced to kill her first Zombie. I guess her friend was still “fresh” enough to have a lot of liquid blood on board.

Jesse Gets her First Zombie Kill

As she runs, we get the obligatory, kid zombie scene as well. It is just a random scene inserted for fun before Jesse finds her way into a strangers house.

Zombie Piñata Party

Inside the house Jesse listens to a stranger’s voicemails? This made me think it was her house at first – because why else listen to them? But it turns out its just the first house she found with an unlocked door.

After Jesse listens to the voicemails she wanders deeper into the house. She slips on a massive puddle of blood which leads us to Jesse’s second zombie kill. It was an over the top, covered in blood kill.

Bloody Business

Emma

With the Zombie killed, Emma, who has been hiding in the closet, decides to pop out now that its safe. Emma is apparently a combination waitress and EMT. She challenges Jesse about her bite wound. Emma doesn’t understand how Jesse has been bitten, and not showing signs of turning.

Bitten

This leads to a common trope in Zombie Movies. Let’s not tell anyone else about the bite! I’m sorry, if I see people eating people and your bitten, I might let you live, but your going to have handcuffs on and a hockey mask/motorcycle helmet until I’m 100% sure your not going to turn.

With questionable decisions made Emma leads Jesse to the diner, and the small group of survivors holed up there. The survivors are the classic mix of individuals. We have the bossy gun toting owner of the diner, the old male chauvinist and his wife, the trash talker, and the nice guy.

When the generator at the diner goes out we see Roy, the owner with his back to the dark, talking loudly as he’s trying to get the generator going, which predictable results. The remaining survivors split up, with Jesse driving away with the group who wants to live while the old man and his wife decide to end things. It’s not super clear if the younger girl who stayed behind also did herself? There were three of them, and only two bullets after all.

Atlanta

On the way to Atlanta, Emma finds her sister, and her niece, but her niece didn’t make it, which results in Emma and her Sister giving up. I get what they were going for, showing how brutal live would be, but at the same time, these scenes felt a little forced.

This leads the dwindling group to seek supplies at a quickie mart, where Brandon quickly gets overrun. Again, I think I know what they were going for, but I felt like Brandon was smart enough to tap on the windows before going into the store?

On the way to the brother and sister’s family the car dies, which leads to an act of bravery as the sister’s brother makes a run for it to distract the zombies. Thankfully the older brother is fast and makes it to a truck that luckily has the keys in the ignition. This leads to a ridiculous bit of redneck shooting as a father and his two grown children decide they have to save the truck by shooting at it?

In the Uncle’s barn, we find that he’s maybe not the nice guy the survivors were hoping as he tells Jesse and the little girl that its time to receive “The Blessing”.

The Blessing

Following another played out trope, the Uncle isn’t really the Uncle, and he’s not interested in helping the girls. As he’s prepping what looks like a bomb the little girl’s brother creates a distraction by driving over mines? Why the hell does the vehicle got explosions around it?

The brother rescues the girls, but he’s been shot and dies along with the truck. No, it’s not really explained why the girls end up walking after he bites the big one.

Hickock45

As the girls are walking along the road they are swarmed by Zombies, which is when Hickock45 shows up to the save the day. I feel like the directors at this point knew this was a dud, and tried to leverage a few YouTube stars to try and guarantee that at least their viewers would buy/rent the movie.

Hickock45 Teaching Jesse To Shoot

The whole Hickock45 and Matt from Demo Ranch felt completely shoehorned into the movie, and while fans of their channels might want to see Strain 100 just for that reason, I have to be honest with you that it’s a little painful to watch. I love Hickock45 and Matt, but their scenes in Strain 100 didn’t really add anything to the story and felt very forced.

As Jesse and her ward go to leave Hickock45s house, we find out that Grace, the kid, was bitten. This leads to the obligatory scene where Jesse has to put the kid down and bury her by the side of the road, complete with a little stick cross.

Strain 100 ends with Jesse reaching Atlanta, where she meets up with a gun toting security guard badass. The security guard apparently brings Jesse inside to watch her moms final recording. Her mom has known her daughter has some super human immunity, and with the package she gave Tory, the security guard, she believes there might be hope for humanity.

The movie just kind of suddenly ends with Tori driving Jesse away on a motorcycle as she blasts away at Zombies, taking Jesse to another lab in Washington which leads to a WTF ending where Skynet is distributing the cure made from Jesse’s blood.

WTF?

Strain 100 Score

Strain 100 earned a score of 42/100, putting it in the Rainy Day Movie Category. The first thirty minutes of Strain 100 were on track to earn a score in the low 70’s but the scenes at the diner cost the movie a few points and then things quickly went downhill from there. The other issue with the movie is the general atmosphere. The acting was B+ but the dialogue was often a little hokey and peoples reactions didn’t quite fit the gravity of the situation. Everyone seems a little too relaxed after having seen multiple people get attacked, eaten, and bitten. The other issue I had was the whole religion/reason for the Zombie Apocalypse. It’s been done in a ton of other movies, and quite frankly, done better.

In the end Strain 100 doesn’t really break any new ground. It suffers from feeling like someone watched a bunch of other zombie movies and tried to write a movie script using what they thought were the best parts of those movies, but everything doesn’t quite feel like it fits together smoothly, or at all. There are a lot of jagged edges to the story, and the atmosphere never quite feels right for the Apocalypse. If your going to watch Strain 100, save it for a rainy day when your having a few drinks.

Alone (2020)

Tyler Posey, the star of Teen Wolf, plays Aidan, the main character in Alone. The movie starts fast. Aidan wakes up and the news immediately declarers an emergency. Bites, scratches, the virus easily infects anyone it comes into contact with, turning them into hungry animals.

Aidan watches from his balcony as fighters fly overhead, and then watches the walkway below as a little girl turns. As he goes back into his apartment he finds his neighbor in his living room. His neighbors been bitten, but stays himself just long enough to leave, mostly of his own accord. We do get a brief glimpse of what being infected means though…

Aiden barricades himself in his apartment, but it’s not long before he comes face to face with his first Zombie. Lucky for Aiden, it’s a female. So body mass and muscle is less than what he might have faced if it were a male. He takes her out with a single swing of his bat he takes care of the problem. He then uses a surf board to close up the access panel in the ceiling the female zombie came from.

We then get a short montage of Aiden losing his shit before his mom calls him. He then gets to hear a voicemail that ends with his mom and dad being attacked and killed.

Face To Face With A Horde

This drives Aiden to leave his apartment. Why? I have no idea, but it does. He quickly comes face to face with a small hoard, and only escapes because he’s nimble enough to avoid them. There is a brief chase before Aiden makes it back into his apartment. Once inside a Zombie keeps saying, “Here” and then banging against the door. Very creepy.

The scene cuts to some point in the future when Aiden looks out his window and watches the power fail. The city has gone dark.

The Girl Across The Way

Cut to further in the future. Aiden now sports a beard and looks much rougher around the edges. A message on his laptop says its day 42. He apologizes to the air before climbing on a chair to put a noose around his neck. He looks out his window, about to kill himself when he sees another survivor across the way. Seeing another person gives him hope.

Seeing another person gives Aiden everything he needs. A reason to survive, a reason to try and help someone. Summer Spiro plays Eva, the girl across the way, and Aiden is overjoyed when she finally sees him. The two communicate with notes pressed against the windows. This leads to a cute moment where she asks if he pre wrote all his messages. He asks in return if that is awkward?

Aiden has a ton of bottled water. Eva lets him know that’s bad for the environment, but in a sweet way.

Bad for the Environment

She then very suspiciously closes the blinds, but agrees with a thumbs up to talk to him tomorrow.

Eva, Thumbs Up

What is Eva hiding? Why is she looking into her apartment as she agrees to talk to Aiden again?

The next day Aiden doesn’t see Eva.

The Rain

That night the rain comes. Aiden gets to fill some pots and pans on his balcony while he bathes. Eva gets a free show as he showers naked on his balcony.

Naked Rain Showering

The next morning they greet each other on their balconies and Aiden asks her what happened. Why didn’t she show up? She explains in paper messages that she has someone clawing at her wall from the next door apartment.

Due to the Zombies, the two of them are being very careful about making any noise. Aiden uses a baseball to get a line to her. He then uses the line to send her some supplies. Unfortunately in the process the business Zombie realizes she’s there and begins to climb the balconies. Aiden throws supplies at the Zombie to keep him from attacking Eva. The intervention came at a cost. Aiden is now faced with threats on two fronts. The Zombies in the hallway attack his front door, and the Businessman zombie attacks from his balcony.

Zombie Attack

Aiden kills the Zombie on his balcony with his trusty bat. We then cut to the next act. Aiden has a plan, and goes out into the hall to recover his neighbors keys. He just barely makes it into his neighbors apartment. The walls are covered in blood smears. Then he finds a dead girl. I loved how he was smart enough to confirm she’s dead by throwing something at her where she lies. He also finds some much needed supplies like peanut butter. As he searches the apartment he also finds a ton of climbing gear, including a climbing pick.

There is a brief moment of violence and then Aiden escapes with his loot. This includes a set of walkie talkies, which brings Aiden to tears. Now he has a way to talk to Eva.

For some reason Aiden thinks the best way to get the walkie talkies to her is to climb down to the ground, then throw it up to her, putting him in danger from the roving horde of biters the whole time.

With the package delivered, Aiden climbs back to his own apartment, confirming to himself that he is indeed a ninja. With the mission accomplished he rewards himself with some peanut butter.

The next morning Eva finds her walkie talkie and reaches out, surprising Aiden who is still sleeping.

Aiden and his walkie talkie

Aiden and Eva share a spiritual moment, each of them overjoyed to talk to another human being. They pretend for a little while that the world isn’t full of Zombies, and just chat, each of them overjoyed to talk to another, live human being.

We then cut to Aiden deciding to explore the ductwork which introduced him to the undead. He’s crawling along, and can smell the decay, and is surprised to find a dead body? Aiden then escapes into another apartment, appearing in the bathroom only to find a tub with blood stains in it.

Lucky for Aiden the apartment appears empty, and the pantry is full of supplies. Aiden calls Eva, and tells her its safe. Because the fridge is pushed up against the door, and doesn’t’ think about who pushed it there? At least Eva has a brain, and asks him who moved the fridge, but its too late, Aiden already left his bat in the kitchen.

Donald Sutherland!

Holy sh*t, Donald Sutherland is in this!!!

Aiden meets Edward, played by Donald Sutherland. Edward has a homemade spear, and offers to give Aiden another bag to carry food. Edward seems off though, bringing a plate of suspicious food to Aiden before asking him if there are any other survivors.

Edwards pretends to be a helpless old man before clocking Aiden in the back of the head, briefly knocking him out. Edward has brought Aiden back to his elderly wife who’s already turned. Lucy, Edward’s wife wouldn’t eat Aiden because he was unconscious, but now that he’s awake she’s hungry and just wants to eat.

Hungry Lucy

Aiden just barely escapes when Eva calls him on the walkie talkie and tells him the biters are in her apartment. What else can Aiden do? he has to save her.

Shotgun

Aiden makes it to the ground, and is lucky enough to find a loaded shotgun just in time to defend himself from a biter. The bad news is that the sound draws every biter around, and it becomes a race for Aiden to climb to Eva’s balcony before the biters can follow him.

Thanks to Aiden’s quick thinking he’s able to cut the sheet rope and they are finally together for the first time.

There is a mad run to Aiden’s apartment, and they make it, but Aiden is bitten. He tell s her to go to his neighbors apartment where there is food before pulling off his last shirt, and there is no bite!!!

The movie ends with Aiden and Eva hugging on the floor, their back to the fridge to hold the door shut.

First, I’m a huge fan of Tyler Pose’s work in Teen Wolf and was saddened to hear about his struggles with addiction. He’s said he’s working on his sobriety, and i hope that Alone gives him the funds he needs to stay on that journey. I’m sorry for whatever demons your fighting Tyler, and was glad to see you in a feature film.

Alone Scoring

I would describe Alone as a popcorn movie. It was fun, fast paced, and Worth Your Time. It wasn’t anything new or innovative, but it was fun and had some great moments, which is why it scored a 73/100.

Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula (2020)

I’m just going to start by saying that Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula has some big shoes to fill. Train to Busan scored a 100/100, putting it in an elite group of Zombie Movies.

Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula takes place four years after the Korean Peninsula has been completely overrun by the undead. The nations around Korea have cordoned it off to try and contain the virus. As always, criminals will find a way to make money. An Organized syndicate has a plan to do just that.

There is a lot of cash on the peninsula. The mob has bribed the coast guard to let a small team enter. Why?So they can get to a truck full of money and get it out.

Our two main characters are a brother and brother in law who survived. There family didn’t. The memory of their wife/sister and son/nephew dying haunts them. Dying by Zombie is not pretty.

Going Back

The brothers make their way to the Peninsula with a small team. They find the truck full of money fairly easily. Things appear to be going well. At least until the undead swarm, taking out everyone on the team save for the brothers.

This is where things take a hard left turn. One brother ends up stuck in the truck. The other is saved by two young sisters in a car. It feels like the writers of Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula watched one too many Fast & The Furious movies after this. Lots of cool car action. It’s just a bit of a genre blender.

The kids take the brother in law to meet the family. The kids live with their mom and her crazy dad. Meanwhile the other brother end up at a survivor stronghold. New survivors are not welcome. They are used to entertain the masses. He’s forced to participate in a barbaric live game show. The captured are forced to fight the undead. It’s not a pretty way to go.

It’s now up to the free brother in law to convince a mother to risk her life to get the truck back. In exchange he promises she can rescue her kids from the horrors of the island.

Thus kicks off the next act of the movie. It is a combination rescue mission as well as truck heist. This in turn leads to a long vehicle chase as the good guys make their way to the port, and their hopeful escape.

Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula Scoring

Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula scored an 84/100. That is a great score for any other Zombie Movie but represents a big drop from the original.

What cost it points? The first was the fact that the mom would let her two young daughters take joy rides in a city infested with the undead.

The second was the vehicle scenes. They were fun and interesting, but they don’t generate the same tension as people fleeing on foot would. One of the things that made the Train to Busan so powerful was that you felt the survivors fear and anxiety as the undead swarmed, and the situation grew increasingly more desperate. It’s an energy that Peninsula does its best to recreate, but not quote as good as the original.

By Day’s End (2020)

By Day’s End is a story about two woman who’s relationship is just about to implode when the Zombie Apocalypse starts. The movie takes place in the confines of a low rent apartment block.

The acting is hit or miss. The two main female leads are both good actresses, but some of the supporting cast overacts pretty badly.

The movie starts off pretty slow. It continues to move slowly. The end is also a slow burn without any real bang. This isn’t so much a sad romance that uses zombies as the foil for love and loss.

By Day’s End Scoring

If your looking for zombie action, or action in general, By Day’s End is not the movie for you, which is why it scored a 31/100, putting it in the Just Bad range. If you are looking for a relationship based drama that uses Zombies as the pressure cooker this may be for you.

If you are looking for a relationship movie that uses the friendship between two people as a major plot point – but also has some action, I’ve got a better option for you. I’d suggest The Battery. It is a great example of a buddy/conflict movie. It is also a great example of what can be done one a small budget.
