    The dangers of a lonely white guy. (Okay, Jack Quaid has some range. Okay, Sophie Thatcher is a hot robot.)

    To me, it's a step in the right direction for Philippine cinema. Intrernational audiences will get to see it. Cinematography was good, the sequences were well-executed, the zombies and the setting looked great. At least, they tried to say something,

    Of course, I see it already that our very own Filipino film buffs will nitpick and point out the lack of exploration of the main story: childhood trauma and its manifestation as abuse in adult life. Yes, the zombie flick…

    I loved the way it looked - the stark distinction of the artsy, pretentious, and dark reality versus the bright, bland, desert country of the novel. Every actor was great, especially Michael Shannon, and surprisingly, Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Leaves some space to think, not an annoying cliff-hanger. Amy Adams was great, and Jake was even better.
