I'm sorry, but 17-18 year olds don't act that stupid

One guy acts smart then stupid then smart. The Indian girl fills in for the cliched sassy black girl. We get two sibling(by marriage)decide to fight one another in the middle of a zombie outbreak. All of them act like 5 year old's, while their entire families and friends are dead.

Yawn of the dead

I made it half way through this WB teen drama with zombie sounds before o turned it off. I want zombies eating people not high school kids arguing in my zombie flick.

Wake me up when it's over...

I don't have a lot to say about this movie. The acting is OK, the production quality is poor, there is no real story...

But more than anything it is B-O-R-I-N-G!

I found myself trying to identify as many Breakfast Club ripoffs as I could just to stay engaged. Maybe this would make a good drinking game, and create SOME value for this 'movie'.

Otherwise, I recommend that watch something else...anything else. Just not this.

Slightly annoying

Warning: Spoilers
I think the main boy, "sophomore," annoyed me the most. Every time he was asked a question, he would just clam up like a scared little girl. Clearly he knew these people. Everything else about the movie is WB teen drama. Many questions go unanswered, like what happened and how are people getting infected. One of the group gets infected, but he wasn't bitten or had blood on him so how? The real question I have, tho, is how the hell Juliet Landau (drusilla from Buffy) got roped into this cheap production!

Breakfast Club but with (some) zombies

If you're looking for a classic zombie flick - rife with flying bullets and red-tinted corn syrup - then look elsewhere. This is less of a horror movie and more of a teen drama, and in my mind that's a good thing.

The characters are interesting and well-rounded, and their dialogue is funny and feels natural. Unlike many zombie films, where there's some undeveloped redshirt character(s) you know is/are gonna end up being zombie chow, I was genuinely loathing the loss of any one of the cast once the zombie shenanigans started in earnest.

I'm sure there's people who will deride this movie's lack of special effects, gore, or hordes of the shambling undead, but honestly there's literally hundreds of zombie flicks that fit this bill. Fairfield was relieving in not necessarily following the zombie movie formula, and while some of the characters do make your classic don't-open-that-door horror movie mistakes, their motivations and decisions overall make sense and serve the development of the story, rather than being used as a segue to the next jump scare or high-budget fight scene.
