User Reviews
GoreGoblin – 7/10
“I'm a sucker for zombie flicks, and this one had some real teeth. The Calgary setting and the whole zombie-walk backdrop added a fresh twist, and Tyler's comic book knowledge felt like a clever survival guide. It's not perfect – some acting is rough – but the tension in the final act had me on edge. Definitely worth a watch for genre fans.”
ScaryFan88 – 6/10
“I appreciated the practical effects and the gritty atmosphere – you can tell they had a limited budget but made the most of it. The story had a cool concept: real zombies among fake ones. But the pacing dragged in the middle, and I felt the characters could have been sharper. Still, it gave me a few good jump scares.”
MovieMaven – 5/10
“The setup was intriguing – a guy who's read every zombie comic gets thrown into the real thing. But the execution fell a bit flat for me. The dialogue felt forced at times, and the tension never quite peaked. It's decent for a low-budget indie, but don't expect a masterpiece. I'd say it's a mixed bag.”
NightOwl – 8/10
“This one surprised me! I loved the meta angle – using comic book knowledge to survive is genius. The chemistry between Tyler and Krystle felt genuine, and the chaos of the zombie walk made the outbreak feel all too real. Sure, it's not high-budget, but the scares are solid and the story kept me hooked. A hidden gem for zombie purists.”
