Pluskylang Great Film overall

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Mikelikesnotlikes I watch everything zombie related which means watching low budget movies in the hope the director/writer will explore old ideas in new ways.SICK had a few good scenes and someone had plotted it out to make the most of the constraints. The cast were enthusiastic but characters weren't developed and the scenes near the end with main characters being killed off in the wrong order did not help. Something was lost in translation from script to production.But it is pretty standard stuff. A couple of funny parts. Passes as entertainment if you wake up at 3 AM and can't get back to sleep like I did.

epiceffectss A zombie film , not a high budget one , I can see a lot of effort went into it for a low budget one , the actors did their best acting. The story was OK, it followed the same stuff which is in all the zombie films. Is it a classic , no. If your into zombie low budget films you may want to watch it. The zombies make up is good and their movements are credible . The main actors were not high end actors like walking dead ones. The cinematography is good, no dodgy camera work, scenery was good , good locations . My last words would be this film would mostly appeal to a zombie fanatic who has watched all the other zombie flicks and just has to watch another one because this genre is his thing. I think if the film could have increased its standards by one third it would've been a decent film and I would have scored it higher , ie. acting a third better , story a third better and it would be getting much higher reviews , good luck to the maker of the film , and hey you have a knack with the whole thing but if the next one just went to being a third better I think you would've pulled of a low fi cult of this genre , but needs fine tuning

ASouthernHorrorFan The story is a somber, monotone one that relies on a lot of dialog. Most of the story is about the human experience and toll the zombie apocalypse has on one psychologically as we battle for a "cure". It is reminiscent of Romero's "Day Of The Dead" in pace and stripped down style. The acting is mediocre, with a lot of the characters feeling contrived. It is a clunky drama that does more peacocking of personalities than the material, or cast can actually account for. There are moments when the story almost becomes thrilling, and a few of the cast really get into their character. It is just not enough to save "Sick: Survive The Night" from being a bit dull. The special effects, for the most part, keep within practical-low budget grade effects that work. I preferred the stripped down zombies that go back to the beginning of this genre. The creature effects are cool enough, however the zombies don't dominate the film with enough force or energy to really kick "Sick: Survive The Night" into thrilling gear. The soundtrack and sound effects are decent enough to give the film atmosphere, some moments do feel creepy and chilling, it just never seems consistent through the whole film. Overall, I found myself wondering why? What was the story that this film was wanting to tell? Most of the components are redundant aspects found in zombie horror. I did appreciate the added mix of these scavenger crews roaming around raping and pillaging. However the story doesn't give enough time for that element to really take off. Most interesting things take place in flashbacks while the main meat of the tale is left to melodrama and mild zombie attacks. "Sick: Survive The Night" isn't a film that you will kick yourself if you miss it. Mostly it is just a boring movie where people talk too much.

dymentintherough Loved the different take on a huge craze! The acting was excellent, they got some very talented people to be in this movie! Don't watch it if you're looking for a lot of action and gore though, it's mostly psychological, a view of life a couple years into a worldwide epidemic. Has some really great plot twists and some interesting characters, even though most of them are very short lived. I would have liked to have seen some plot points elaborated, for example, they mention that there are 'safe zones', and I wondered how that is possible. What made them safe zones? How were they kept safe? Liked that the protagonists were called 'Vultures'. Seemed pretty appropriate, and it was nice to see another set of people with a nickname the way the zombies are called everything except 'zombies' in most films from this genre these days. All in all an excellent independent film, I highly recommend giving it a watch!
