Stop me if you've heard this one before ...

"Can you stop right there Theo I've heard it before umpteen times"

Okay fair enough. There's not much to add to SOUND OF NOTHING. To be blunt there's little originality on show here. That said director Chris Grega does at least concentrate on the human elements of the story involving character dynamics. Also to be fair the story isn't overdone with zombie action and if anything it's humans with no recourse to the law any prospective survivors have to worry about. He also makes the best of desolate urban landscapes which is no mean feat considering the budget is minimal

The downside is that you're constantly reminded of every single zombie ilk horror film ever made with a climax ripped off from 28 DAYS LATER without the style of Boyle. There's another spanner in the works and that is the cast are no more than adequate , but the pivotal role of Megan is played by an actress called Melissa Jordan whose only credited role according to the IMDb is in this film. She gives a dreadfully wooden performance and it's no surprise she didn't get offered anymore roles.

I liked this film, and the acting of the lead characters wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be given the budget. Even the zombie effects and makeup were not totally horrible, I've seen much worse. The locations were interesting and appropriate. The biggest production aspect I felt could have benefitted from improvement was the audio. I felt the dialogue mix left some to be desired and I could be wrong but my gut feel is that it comes from on location sound, it sounds like they were not using any wireless mics on the actors and only boom / shotgun mics because there is a LOT of room ambience and no direct dialogue sound. Looking at the locations, they are probably quite ambient. Also no ADR, many dialogue intelligibility issues could have potentially been addressed with ADR. As a result the dialogue is at times very quiet and sometimes not intelligible and I found myself bringing the volume up and down and even missed some lines. Anyway, I consider it a solid effort in the genre'. I look forward to the next release from this director, again a solid effort, it's not easy to make a movie and this was not bad at all!

Please...I'm begging you...learn how to focus the camera. this movie is giving me a headache. fitting that I saw an advertisement for migraines while watching this.

Better named script of nothing. Don't bother, waste of your time. Bad acting , writing etc
