About
If you like Dawn of the Dead or World War Z, this delivers a grim, tense survival story with a haunting empty-city mood; Not for you if you dislike rough-looking, frantic horror or slower character-focused stretches.
Pros: eerie empty-city atmosphere; fast terrifying infected; tense survival story | Cons: rough dated visuals; chaotic action at times; uneven later stretch
