People Pulling Together Amidst Conflict
I thought that it was a compelling story of totally unrelated people working together for a common purpose - survival. A sad note is when the pregnant woman got infected and turned into a zombie as well as her child and then her husband got killed as well. Special effects were great. The ending was totally miserable for the participants who thought that they were escaping to freedom, but instead found that the infection had spread, including to their bait box on the boat. Ugh. The part about the sporting goods store guy looking over old movies of his wife and child was especially sad considering that they probably had gotten infected and came after him, whereupon he killed them. The remorse and grief with which he was stricken must have been unbearable. Yes, this is a fiction movie just the same. I felt empathy with the characters who would normally have gone about their regular business.
