Yesterday (2009)
Yesterday follows the lives of complete strangers in the middle of a zombie outbreak. As each person struggles to survive we find their actions begin to affect the lives of others around the dying city, culminating in a stand off at the local grocery store. There, the remaining survivors decide to band together and flee to the wilderness. Once camp is built however, they find that the living dead are not the only danger as they begin to turn on one another in a struggle for power and control.

Why so much hype?
Pretty Good
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
I screened this film for the Okanagan International Film Fest in kelowna B.c. I also own kelowna's largest Independent video store. When comparing this film to the multitude of Zombie films I have seen over the years it actually fairs pretty well. The story had many original angles and ideas. The acting was not great but good. the writing also good. The gore was reminiscent of classic zombie films, they sometimes did not show the wounds being inflicted but there was plenty of blood and lots of people and zombies die in satisfying ways. the quality of filming was also good. If I compare it the 10-15 zombie films that I have seen from this last years releases there were only 2-3 that were better. So all in all for a $25,000? film it holds up very well. I will be recommending it for our late night feature this year.
