  Competent cinematography, editing and sound, but without a proper story, dialogue, acting and direction the end result doesn't matter...

• Daddy Dearest

  Dana (Amanda K. Morales) has invited her estranged father (Andrew Hunsicker) to her birthday party with a few close friends, one that is infected. The film tried to be heartfelt a father-daughter relationship film and failed miserably with the worst scene being the daughter writing a letter to dad with sappy background music. It also attempted to be so sort of epidemic, "I see zombies in skin-tight costumes" film. They looked more like Italian zombies than American zombies, but in reality may have just been infected people. The cause is not fully explained other than a spilled bottle. Character development lacked. However, it does reinforce our beliefs that fat guys like cake and can't dress. Low budget and it shows. Guide: F-word. Sex. near nudity.

• There is something good here, but ended up horrible.

  Just another movie while watching u have to keep saying to urself "its just a movie; its just a movie"... Another type of movie that has a good concept plot to it, but really wasn't done right. I really don't understand y the father did what he has done, or any of the others that realize what may have been going on. Now when it was 1st unleashed Y the girl did what she did was beyond me. Y not call the landlord before damaging property just to be curious..... Its just a movie its just a movie....... ITS JUST A LAME MOVIE. Movies now a day SUCK!

• Bland and rather infuriating low-budget indie

  After getting together for a friends' party, a group of friends at a birthday party find that the intentions of her distant father working to reconnect has to be put on hold when a deadly pathogen is introduced to the guests and forces him to try to get her out of the party alive. For the most part, this wasn't that enjoyable an effort. A lot of the film's problems stem from the low-budget nature that runs rampant in the film. The setting of the apartment gives off a rather obvious one-setting feel that really highlights the fact that this stripped-down, minimalist effort won't have a lot to offer. The fact that this barebones setting captures only a few locations without really venturing further or featuring extravagant work in any regard becomes rather obvious in the second half where all the dialog between him and everyone else calling the hotel room to find out what's going on with the out-of-control situation as the small cast also sticks out quite prominently here. There's also the fact that this one doesn't seem to know what it really wants to be. The first half is entirely based around the slow-building drama established with the exploits of the party and the absentee father attempting to reconnect with the family, yet then he manages to pull off the asinine maneuver of removing her from the party against her will inadvertently making the whole scene look like an abduction all without informing the authorities. This comes off as completely irrational, much like the supernatural method of dealing with whatever the things are as the full extent of the virus isn't known so the scenes of the creepy figures stalking around come off as confusing and curious. Along with the easily-spotted finale that's obvious where it's going, these here are the film's flaws. There are a few things to like about this one, mostly centered around the idea of the virus spreading through the friends. After the initial infection and then succumbing to those effects in the middle of the party where she begins to infect others in similarly graphic means, this one really works the idea of the contamination working slowly through the other victim in the motel. Knowing what's going to happen here adds a macabre bent to everything, and when added to the admittedly creepy scenes of the deformed ghost-like beings coming after her which goes hand-in-hand with the few attempted gore effects on the bodies to become the few positives. Still, even with these enjoyable factors, they're not enough to overcome the overwhelming negatives. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
