Generally im a sucker for zombie films and here its no exception.
Its script isn't good with a character like "citizen" making it almost 75% of the film before dying and conflict just ending but I do like the idea that these people are like ants even without being mutated. Its not a strong metaphore but it is there.
I think most of the characters are forgettable but the central conflict is decent enough.My love for zombie films and the actual film are in conflict, I would say I liked it more enough but there are great ideas here which, if the script was better, it would've been even better.
