Great setup, mediocre execution


i really liked the setup and the first half of the movie is pretty solid (aside from cringy dialogue, but that's to be expected in a B grade horror movie) but once the monster/zombie shows up the movie just falls apart. There is constant jump cuts/shaky camera in an extremely obviously attempt to hide the low budget effects and it hurts the move tremendously. Pretty disappointing since I heard this was supposedly one of the most underrated/overlooked horror movies of all time.
