Reception
[edit]Gareth Jones of Dread Central rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that the film "winds up being a solid, undemanding watch for fans of the genre."[1]
Cleaver Patterson of Scream rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that while the film is "unlikely to bring much in the way of lasting life to the zombie movie sub-genre", as a "satirical take on the corruption of American politics and big business, coloured with a heavy dose of blood red horror, the result should get the popular vote amongst horror fans everywhere."[2]
Film critic Kim Newman wrote that the film is mostly an "essay in the Cabin Fever cycle in which shallow, pretty folks tear into each other – their great faces, neato hair and trim bods are established lovingly early on, all the better to contrast with the way they look after they’ve had chunks bitten out of their faces, been set on fire, suffered scratching and clawing and generally abused themselves and each other."[3]
