Discuss It Stains the Sands Red

I was getting ready to praise this up until the final 20 minutes or so. The acting from the lead girl was ok, but for the most part this was a little different; Castaway with Wilson being replaced by a zombie (called Smalls). It has some nice touches, a little comedy here and there a couple of gory moments and a very good character development played out between the two leads (yes, the zombie developed some personality) and all was fine... But then for some reason the writers seemed to run out of steam, the originality and characters they had set up are purged for the last 20 minutes and it becomes a very weak sub-plot from a very weak episode of The Walking Dead.

I really didn't have any expectations going in with this, but for a film like this to build itself up to something so good (ok, it wasn't faultless throughout) and falter at the final gate was a disappointment.

IMO, a movie like that is a "keeper."

I'll take three-quarters of smart stuff and a quarter of shlock, any day.
