It's amazing who pop's up in these movies when you watch them again! Anyway, I was actually disappointed in this one, very slow for such a big star like Will Smith. Can't believe I'm watching zombie movies all in a row like this (wasn't planned). Nice to see the different ideas though. Liked the idea that they could only come out in the dark but that was about as interesting as it got, yikes!

Awesome movie! See kind of what life would be if you were the last one on it. The problem is battling the evil that took over.

Oh this one just hurts. I mean, shout out to Will Smith. In 2022 he might be a beta fool, but he was still charming as all get out in this movie. It just wasn't what it was supposed to be.
