Well, granted with the low rating this movie have harvested on IMDb, I can't really claim that I had much of any hopes or expectations to it. So why watch it? Well, solely for the reason of it being a zombie movie.
And this 2018 movie "Epidemic" from writers Stephen Michael Giglio and Adam Romanchik wasn't exactly your average zombie movie. That would either work out in a good or bad way, now wouldn't it? Well, I can't say that what director Stephen Michael Giglio did with the script was working well in favor of the movie.
There was just too many random elements in the movie, and characters that had little or no impact on the storyline. It just felt a bit too random. Sure, the heart and spirit was there, and it showed, but the movie just wasn't a great movie.
Storywise then I wasn't impressed. Sure, I managed to sit through the entire movie to the very end. But I can't claim to be particularly entertained, nor enjoying what transpired on the screen.
The acting in the movie was mediocre, adequate for the movie in a way I would say.
What did work for "Epidemic" was actually the cosmetics and make-up. They managed to do some rather good make-up and special effects in terms of the wounds and injuries. Some of the zombies, however, well, not so great. But again, the effort and the love for the project was definitely showing.
Ultimately I found "Epidemic" to be a boring movie that offered no enjoyment and offered nothing interesting to the zombie genre at large. I am rating it a mere two out of ten stars. There was just too much of nothing going on, well aside from a lot of retching white goo from the cast.
