Daylight's End (2016)

Ok, it's a dumb zombie movie where a lot of people repeatedly make stupid decisions and predictably get eaten. The dialogue is cheesy more often than not. I'm not sure anyone on the set other than Yeager has actually handled a gun. The plot is suspect at times. Some of the characters are behind stereotypical. But there's a lot of shooting, the zombies eat people and there's a lot of action. And it's better than most zombie movies out there and it didn't quite end like I thought it would.

Though it's clear that this zombie movie (or any other zombie movie for that matter) got some inspiration from George A. Romero's "Living Dead" movies, there is also a sizable dash of "The Road Warrior" mixed in here. Actually, the movie doesn't take TOO much from those two sources, and manages for much of the running time to do its own thing... and not too badly, I must add. While the script does have a few flaws - like the underwritten alpha zombie character, which could have used more explanation - the script does manage to engage thanks to some competent characters and a few developments in the story that you may not be expecting. While the direction and the editing does occasionally confuse, the action (which keeps coming at a regular clip) does manage to stir the blood and be exciting at times. The movie also looks pretty good for what was a low budget, with some well chosen locations as well as some good set design and decoration. And it's always nice to see Lance Henriksen, even if by now he is looking quite old and weathered. What we end up with is a solid zombie movie. It's no classic, but it does manage to stand out from a genre that for the most part has become now really tired and familiar for the most part.

It's on a budget and cinematography is fine. They chose a style for photography, camera work is good so you can watch this flick and not feel it low budget actually.However, characters are one dimensional and stereotypical. You won't feel attached to any of them which in a zombie movie can be good, people die, but you won't care much neither.The plot isn't smart, it borrows the two main ideas from two other famous movies in this genre you most certainly have already seen. It also suffer probably by some cuts that left out some scenes that might have helped understand more. Sometimes you wonder a little what's happening. The movie also doesn't offer any background on what kind of apocalypse is and what are these human creatures that drop if shot in the chest not like zombies and burn in daylight like vampires. ???.All in all there's a lot of good action and we don't need a lot of plot to make a watchable genre's movie, but bad characters and boring although scarce dialogues make this movie a little uninteresting and 20 minutes too long.

the best thing about the movie ... that the zombies are fast and working like species ..and moving in hordes ..which make them dangerous not like the slow zombies like the ones in the walking dead.. but what makes TWD great is the acting and the writer who put himself in every situation .. and make you engage in the movie ... and gives you much things to think about .. and this didn't happen in daylight end we will know that the main character wont die and wont face any problem he like terminator or something .. and this what make this movie weak ..i wont talk about his acting it was too bad no feelings no nothing .. and he was the worst actor of the whole cast .. now we come to the story ... the first and the second scene were great until they got inside the prison or whatever .the girl said that she found a plan and it was working ..she cant know , because she doesn't know anything about planes ? ... OK now they put him in a cell OK thats good . what happened in the morning what made this movie so cheap ... the zombies or whatever just attacked them without any introduction just like that they decided to attack and they some how entered the secured building .. at least add some details ..how did they got in .after they killed them all .. they decided to make a plan to get out of the building .. they were searching for a solution and the best solution they come up with was so stupid and irrelevant the solution was to kill the boss (alpha) , they shouldn't have a boss but the point is , how killing him will help them to get out ? or slow zombies down ? .. now they went to kill the ( alpha ) ... but their plan failed of course it will ,, all the three guys were killed but superman .. now the other people were searching for cars to transport people to the plan and they found a bus so superman solution was stupid and the whole horde followed him to the building and he ruined the whole thing .. after they went back to the building they finally decided to fight them .., so they killed them all and most of them died ( as long as superman lives no problem at all ) and this what will make any movie fails ..the direction was so bad like old action movies ...the story was so naive and not deep . so my vote will be 2 out of 10
