Tedious, amateurish and annoying

It looks like an amateurish (wannabe) horror-flick from the seventies: the pace is extremely slow, the score is an irritating sound-drone, the setting is somewhere in the bushes, and the scares are non-existent. The acting is abominable: uptight and wooden, so the lack of any substantial dialogue has probably been a big relief for the actors (and for us). The story leans almost entirely on a radio news-broadcast that keeps on talking in the background, in the process more or less functioning as a narrator of what is going on.Well, what seems to be going on is a vicious, human flesh-eating fungus that spreads like crazy and turns bodies, after they are eaten away to the bone, into zombies. So what we get to see (at an annoying snails pace) is an endless series of gnawed skeletons, with sudden spasms of life, while not yet infected people, who incidentally stumble over these skeletons, try desperately (and incessantly screaming) to escape. The make-up department did give it their best, and at times the skeletons look seriously creepy. But that's about it at the tiny positive side.Exasperated I threw in the towel after 45 minutes of constantly having to see the same lame goings-on, being especially angry with myself for spending 5,99 euro to stream this nonsense!

Great concept wasted.

Loved the concept & use of practical effects. Unfortunately that's where it ends. The editing, effects & cinematography are solid, but everything else was poorly executed.Script, dialogue, acting, directing, all very poor indeed. It's just one stupid character decision, & horror cliche, after another with a massive mound of awful acting on top. The synthesizer soundtrack doesn't do it any favors either. I really wanted to like this movie due to its overall concept, & I was drawn into the beginning moments, but it went downhill so quickly & never recovered. If you like practical effects & body horror then give it a go, but you've been warned.
