Almost...but no

This entire movie was made for the ending, a pointless movie, with zero character and plot development. The entire movie i don't think the zombies made 1 single kill, usually in other zombies movies they come in hordes, the horde in this movie is like 9 zombies. All that followed by subpar acting from nonbelieveable characters, blah blah blah.....then the last 10 minutes of the movie it happens and honestly makes the train wreck you just watched almost worth it, in a weird way. I didn't see it coming, I enjoyed it, the movie was god awful but the ending was pretty solid. What they did perfectly? The music, lol the music really helped carry the movie. I'm not a huge fan on running zombies but they did an alright job, most gore looked real, I appreciate that.

Not your average zombie movie...

With the 2024 movie "Outbreak" being a zombie movie, of course I had to watch it. I am a huge fan of all things zombie. In fact, I had never actually heard about this movie from director Jeff Wolfe prior to sitting down to watch it.The storyline in the movie is actually good. Writers Erik Aude, Lance Ochsner and Jeff Wolfe managed to set up a narrative where the audience are thrown into the distress of Neil and Abby Morris, played by Billy Burke and Alyshia Ochse respectively, whom are mourning the loss of their son. And with the introduction of a rabid dog, you're sort of given a hint that something is amiss. But then when Neil is at the lake, the movie takes a drastic turn and director Jeff Wolfe really amps up the narrative.The acting performances in "Outbreak" were good. Of the entire cast ensemble, then I was only familiar with leading actor Billy Burke.I was really impressed with the zombie make-up and prosthetics, as they looked very interesting. Sure, I didn't get the black eyes and black teeth thing they had going on, but other than that, then the effects were good. For some reason, the zombies seemed more interesting in either physically jumping unto the living or dragging them away, more than they did in actually biting and eating the living. And I can't claim to be a fan of the sounds that the zombies made.Personally, I didn't care much for the last 10 minutes or so of the movie, as it felt like a really lousy plot twist and ending. But of course, that is a matter of personal preference.If nothing else, then "Outbreak" is a different take on a genre that tends to be rather formulaic. Yeah, I love all things zombie, but many zombie movies tend to be rather generic, formulaic and essentially being copy and paste jobs of the classics.My rating of director Jeff Wolfe's 2024 movie "Outbreak" lands on a five out of ten stars.

Outbreak: A Missed Opportunity in Mystery and Suspense

Outbreak attempts a pioneering approach to the zombie-infection-survival genre, drawing inspiration from films like Sweet Girl (2021) and The Others (2001). While the plot isn't identical, it clearly strives for a similar impact-unfolding as a psychological thriller with a twist that turns everything on its head. In both Sweet Girl and The Others, I left in suspense until the final moments, when a shocking revelation completely alters mi perception of the story. Outbreak seems to follow this formula but falters by revealing too much too soon. The core issue lies in the execution of its mystery; by the midway point, it becomes apparent that something is off with the protagonist. The realization that he is, in fact, the "monster" occurs far earlier than it should, undermining the intended twist and robbing the finale of its full impact. Despite this misstep, the film does offer a fresh take on the genre and may appeal to fans of psychological thrillers with unconventional ending. However, for those expecting a gripping mystery that keeps them guessing until the very end, this film may feel underwhelming.
