B Tech Pointless Camcorder shorrocks praise be for FFWD

Warning: Spoilers
I am seeing this for the first time in freeview then YouTube which doesn't bode too well, a webcam zombie kitchen sink drama, sans drama that opens up in an unimaginative kitchen.

Scenery looks as if it was managed by an embittered new build showhouse sales rep.

It's all very well having dark and brooding but not featureless

They start by describing a bit about themselves on cam and nobody has saying at all interesting to say.

After Napoleon Dynamite, of course it's always going to be worth giving auditions again to to newcomers, but that depends on a casting manager who knows what they're doing, and how much of interest the actors are.

The first and last impression is that only the dull survive, unconvincing but fairly photogenic, a show case of symmetrical characterless conformity.

As with the script there is more depth in a punctured paddling pool.

Lots of idea you've ever seen in every landmark zombie film is here,.badly executed.

Evacuated, tv on but no news, scouting for food etc etc Think 28 days with zero pace, a slightly duller night of the living dead, Dead Snow with the Salvation Army.

At one point the 12 year old girl has the camcorder, and Adele says to her "What do you want us to do, you're the director". And that is I think is the answer to the many questions of this effort.
