There were a lot of positive reviews of this film, but unfortunately, I was left deeply unimpressed.

It started off good, but then descended into boredom. It's basically a really boring version of Zombie Land with all the humour mercilessly removed.

It's also dumb as hell. There's this nun, who was hysterically crazy when she was introduced. In this post-apocolyptic environment, where crazy people are often lethally dangerous, it seems stupid that not only did they let her live, but they let her travel in the car with them.

The same crazy woman couldn't stand the 2 lead characters killing a vampire, as well. Strange.

The 2 lead characters were also completely flummoxed by a radiator problem in their car and got outsmarted pretty easily towards the end.

They even killed off the black guy in classic '80s style.

How anyone could enjoy that film is beyond me.

The old lady playing the nun was Kelly McGillis from Top Gun! yikes

ETA - Another new zombie film (with slow moving zombies this time), which isn't bad at all is The Dead - although the ending's crap...
