Extinction (2015)
6/10
MY FRIEND FLICKA
28 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
After an unnamed disaster there is an apparent viral infection that creates zombies and most likely is associated with the prolonged "nuclear?" style winter (Comet with alien infection?) After a brief "I don't think that's a good idea" we end up 9 years later with prudish Jack (Jeffrey Donovan) and young Lu (Quinn McColgan) living in one house while his ex-friend Patrick (Matthew Fox) lives across the street, each one surviving on their own.

Eventually we get to the spoiler on the DVD cover when evolved zombies attack. Not only do we never find out caused the event, the film is a little fuzzy on the event with Emma (Valeria Vereau) the dead wife and the apparent episode that lead to 9 years of separation of the two friends. I was expecting one more flashback to make thing crystal clear, but it never happened.

I liked the idea that it broke the zombie mode. I didn't like the lack of characters at the end of the world. Jack and Patrick lacked charisma and I would have never created a story around such dry characters.

Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
