Thoughts on Last Ones Out
Thoughts – Last Ones Out is an African zombie movie, that will follow four people from different backgrounds, needing to work together to survive the outbreak, with limited resources and never knowing if they can trust each other. When it comes to the zombie movie genre, it is always nice to see a fresh attempt to build a movie, with this one trying to use a more barren location, which shows both the limited number of resources, but more of the weakness in this film, comes from the fact this will give us a lack of potential zombies, with most just being the odd one, that is easy to escape from. Last Ones Out does lack the intensity most zombies film have because of this, which will hold it back from reaching the best levels it could. The performances are solid enough, with the distant relationship needed to show the human impact of what is going on. Last Ones Out is an easy to watch zombie film, but it doesn’t bring enough freshness to the sub-genre.
Final Thoughts – Last Ones Out is an easy to watch zombie film, that lacks the intensity it could have achieved.
