I tried to like this movie, i did.
But from the get-go, there was a big problem with the "hero." Dude has zero personality at best, and is a compete a**hole at the worst.
First off, he sits for hours sulking at an ex-girlfriends party, expecting her to drop everything to give him his lame tapes. Like, COME BACK ANOTHER TIME, GUY. TAKE A HINT.
Plus the idiotic percussion. Again, you'd have to be a total moron to launch into drum solos (while making stupid, stupid faces) during a zombie apocalypse. Everyone knows that zombies come crawling out the woodwork (literally) at the drop of a pin.
And, more importantly, what kind of a protagonist shoots a cat for NO REASON, other than the fact that the cat wanted nothing to do with him. Sam is so unlikable that even a cat prefers zombies to him! They clearly had more personality.
Oh, and speaking of shooting things, he's a shoot-first, ask questions later kind of guy. Probably not the best tactic when you're going mad from loneliness.
I rarely root for the zombies to win, but in this case, I was Team Undead all the way. Do yourself a favor and watch something where the leads are actually likeable. This one...not so much.
