  I thought this was <b>excellent.</b> The lighting and camerawork are near on par and seemed very natural. The story is believable and the soundtrack is very nice! The dialog is clear and understandable, I love the story, and the acting is fantastic! I even like &quot;the monster.&quot; All in all, this <b>turned out really good, especially given your budget!</b> I was completely entertained and did not, but once, think about anything other than what you had intended the audience to see - like many mistakes in some productions that take you outside the story, even for a brief moment - removing you from being a witness to the story and into being critic. There are things that can remind a viewer that there are cameras and a crew there, that it&apos;s not real - whether because of bad acting, camera work, editing...or special effects, there things that remind you that you are just watching a movie/story, rather than just being 100% immersed in it. I was well, maybe 98% immersed - the blood and gore scene was not quite right; it did not seem to flow as well as the rest of the story and effects, and was the only real distraction for me. @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLay9Cu1680&amp;t=944">15:44</a> The blood spray was just off, for some reason looking more like someone threw a bucket of blood and gore onto the wall, rather than it spraying/splattering from the attack. Do a little more work/research on real blood pattern/splatter and spray, for your next bloodbath - I think it&apos;s almost all in the &quot;launching&quot; technique. Haha! <br>Over-all - A huge <b>Thumb&apos;s Up</b> here... * Maybe 8.5 of 10. I really liked The Cold Dark!*

  So sad but so true... Even if some of us survive the apocalypse, if the monsters don&apos;t kill survivors - we&apos;ll kill each other :&apos;(

  At first I wondered why the blond woman used an old Lee-Enfield SMLE rifle with a .303-British chambering. Then I heard a bunch of British, Scottish and Irish accents.<br> &nbsp; The Lee-Enfield is a fantastic rifle. But using a bolt action rifle in a modern situation with multiple targets. You got a recipe for disaster.

  I have heard lightning in the winter in Finland. It sounds much louder, and it makes a sharper crack sound. It takes your breath away.

  the times Jessica spent as a bar bouncer really paid off in the fight scenes here - no stunt people this was all straight up <br>actor on actor - Jessica is also a certified gun safety instructor. I asked Jessica out once but she just laughed and when I went to pat her hand she started beating me with a lead filled end of a pool stick - but after I got the cast off my arm and leg I was okay - but I didn&apos;t go back to that bar - but I am happy Jessica has found something she is good at - well I mean on camera.

  Humanity&apos;s greatest enemy is itself, no matter what goes bump in the night.

  She certainly has nice new shoes for the apocalypse.

  Not a very maneuverable rifle for this timing, Lee Enfield in .303 caliber I believe. &nbsp;Not a universal caliber for the apocalypse, but it&apos;s better than nothing. &nbsp;Very good and accurate.

  I really like the vfx and at the start the bullet shot in the left shoulder looks very nice 👍
