Infection spread everywhere around the city, as most of mankind turned into frantic creatures. Patrick and Jack Loe, a nine-year-old girl, survived those horrific events in a quiet town in the forgotten town of Harmony. Though deep hatred keeps them away, Patrick and Jack will cooperate again and they must leave all hatred to protect the person who means most to them before it is too late when the disease reappears.
Vivas tries to add a family-drama twist to an otherwise standard survival story, but the characters aren't complex enough (and the secrets aren't explosive enough) to elevate this beyond a basic zombie flick.
"Extinction" is far from a horror masterpiece and doesn't really bring anything entirely new to the genre, but it's a solid zombie survival flick that takes its characters seriously and doesn't condescend to the audience.
he thrills are basically relegated to the beginning and the end of the film, but in between, the story manages to craft genuine drama and emotional ties.
It very much feels like it's trying too hard to be a grand and serious work while at the same time using some of the most hoary and overripe tropes of the genre to make its points.
