This had a sale sticker previously removed on the front, under the shrink wrap. When I removed the shrink wrap it was sticking to where the sticker was. BS if you're buying "new".

I first watched this on the Syfy Channel so I knew exactly what I was getting, a passable zombie flick that follows the usual plot devices. Three friends leave the relative safety of their remote cabin for supplies in a nearby town. They are immediately beset by voracious zombies lurking in the area. As luck would have it, two of them are saved by a roving band of survivors on their way to Catalina. Soon enough, they are also joined by another small band of survivors. The bulk of the movie concerns their `adventures' with zombies as they make their way to a supposed survivor camp out west. Their number increases and decreases when necessary to add an "ah" factor when one of their rank and file bites it. Unfortunately, few of the characters are around long enough to acquire personalities. Most maintain a `body count' only status throughout. This aspect didn't bother me as I wasn't expecting anything that would require great thespian talent amongst the mostly unknown actors involved.

I liked this movie because everything in it was predictable (okay, the CGI zombie tigers were another matter altogether). It's basically just a time waster and when paired with a much better zombie flick would serve as a decent appetizer to get you in the mood for a second or third feature. It's definitely going in the collection with no allusions that it's anything other than what it is.

One of the better zombie movies as far as zombie movies go. This one gets a five because though all zombie movies are a little ridiculous in the very idea of it ever happening in real life this one is a better made one. But enough! Zombie movies are getting out of hand. Like shark movies did after Jaws. Then snakes, alligators, etc. Very few zombie movies are made now that are not totally stupid and a waste of time. But a few are, like this one, Daylight's End, and a few more.

I watched this movie at my daughter's insistence because she's a huge zombie fan and will watch just about anything zombie related. My hopes were not high, since this is from Syfy, but even with low expectations (really, REALLY low expectations) this somehow managed to be worse than I thought it would. Everything about this movie is bad. Even my daughter was mocking it by the end. The characters are two dimensional, you don't get attached to any of them, the plot is pointless and just moves from one zombie encounter to the other, the dialogue is AWFUL, the CGI was laughable, as were the special effects, make-up, zombie movements, even the music. You could tell some of the zombies were wearing masks, it was just...oh my word, it was so bad. I cannot say enough how bad this was. The production values were worse than college films where the students had to go to the Goodwill for costumes. It was so bad. Find ANYTHING else to watch than this disaster. If I were one of the actors in this, I would not put it on my resume. I would be too embarrassed. If I could give this zero stars, I would.

As many have already mentioned, this is a SyFy made movie. I know SyFy wouldn't give them a budget to rival the bigger studios like Paramount, for example, but I'm sure they had a decent enough budget. With that said, the CGI stuff SHOULD have been better. It's the work of amateurs. No excuse. Another thing that bothered me was the make-up and how it looked on the zombies. No effort to even make the zombies remotely believable. There's hundreds of videos on YouTube that teach you how to make realistic zombies. EVEN with store bought make-up. This movie's approach is "slap some blood on their face, no one will notice". The plot was kind of generic but not horrible. The acting was good except for the zombies. These were one of the worst zombies I've seen so far. Overall, I don't regret watching it but wouldn't watch it again.

It is a story of survival. A band of humans battling zombies to get to Caladonia Island, CA. There is violence and blood, typical of this genre. In the process, a few died; but the remaining survivors were picked up by ferry. They were the last group to be rescued.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not good .... But I watched it anyway

Poorly written. I will watch just about any zombie flick and I have really enjoyed plenty of low budget films.

As always in movies like these there are moments that you get annoyed with the decisions the characters make. So that was to be expected. But this was just so terribly written that it was impossible to enjoy.

Inconsistencies galore.
In planning their mission to their destination, they had said how important it was to retrieve any arrows that were easy to grab. Yet after shooting down three zombies they walk right over them without grabbing the arrows. They were not an imminent danger during this time and that really stuck out to me.

Also there's a scene where they're being chased by a ton of zombies but they end up only fighting the biggest baddest dude and then all the others were magically no longer chasing them.

I could list more but that'll do. :)

I bought this when I was watching it on SyFy. I am a huge zombie fan and thought this was a real cheesy movie. But how cheesy and horrible it is, is what makes it that good to me. If you expect a 10 million dollar movie, then do not get it. But if your just wanting to relax and laugh a little, then buy it. Most of the people who give it a bad review are the ones who take life too seriously. If it was on the SyFy network, you can't expect it to be the best movie. Enjoy.

During the opening credits we get the back story of what happened. Then it's straight into the action as 3 survivors are attacked by a group of zombies. Things aren't looking very good but some more uninfected turn up and the zombies get blown away, but there's a casuality who got bit and very quickly he turns into a zombie and must be dispatched. We see very strong CGI violence of heads exploding, blood spurting and shooting. Then with the 6 folks who are alive we learn they are heading for an area that might be safe. Catalina. So it's a journey to safety and on the way it's more zombie attacks and a meeting with other survivors who use bow and arrow to take out the flesh munchers. The undead are a mix of slow and fast and some show signs of an intelligence of a sort.
A lot of thought went into making this with things we've not seen before in a zombie flick. I thought it was well written, acting was good, effects were excellent and the zombie make-up was very good. I also don't think there was any bad language, just the odd mild cuss words. They must have had a decent budget for this and a lot more money than many of the other zombie flicks that have hit the screens recently. Personally I found no similarities in this with the Walking Dead show except for empty towns full of zombies and that has been seen in many others anyway. I liked this film a lot. The lack of decent extras was a bit disappointing but still gets my 5star for the entertainment value. A must for any zombies fans who can ignore some of the defects that yanks find in this like poor CGI, acting and story plot holes such as a machine gun not being secured when it fired. My argument would be 1. What was the last big budget zombie movie? Ans. Hasn't been one. 2. In the best zombie film ever, DAWN OF THE DEAD the guy in the truck is splashed with blood but in the next scene the blood is absent. 3. Who really cares that a machine weapon killing zombies is not quite secure. They're being blown away and is exactly what we want to see. 4. Everyone can find faults in any low budget movie like this one. The secret is to ignore them and enjoy what's an entertainment piece. I certainly did and rate this film highly.
Extras making of 5 mins, gag reel of 1 min and trailers. USA Release but plays Region zero.
