Country number 33 for us is Mexico for the 2022 Some Be. This survival story is on Amazon for free (thank God, as I wouldn't pay for it) and the blurb is that Sarah and Esteban will try to survive amid a post apocalyptic society collapsed by the appearance of an unknown virus that overrides human will and consciousness. Ok, sounds familiar.
Sarah and Esteban somehow survive long enough to find each other, and then somehow survive numerous scrapes with the undead hordes that just appear our of thin air. For a very annoying 86 minutes they do not scavenge, they do not pick up water, food, weapons, medical supplies, a change of clothes, or even a bag to put it in. Sarah leaves her front door open AFTER seeing a zombie outside. Esteban does not treat the huge open wounds on his leg and head. They do not barricade where they sleep. They sleep at one point right next to glass doors AFTER they didn't close the gate behind them.
As zombie survival movies are my thing- see Among the Living, State of Emergency, Here Alone, The Battery, Rammbock: Siege of the Dead, Night Eats the World, Final Days, #Alive etc - this just annoyed me. They didn't scavenge in buildings or cars, they didn't have a bag. They dropped a weapons once used. In fact only 2 zombies are killed, both by Sarah, both with bits of wood.
It could have been better as it was well acted and filmed. It did look desolate but... I can only score it 3.5/10 and it is marked down because of their poor survival skills, inconsistency, Esteban's narration and the stupid title
