Gut wrenching effects. Eerie, mood setting interiors and exteriors works well for subject matter. Reminded me very much of the original "Night of the Living Dead" in all respects (except being in color); story, editing, camera usage, effects, sound, etc. Scary.

Another film thats fallen deep into the Uncanny Valley. Its so much like a bad parody of itself that it could deliberately, in which case its good. But on the other hand it could be meant to be good, in which case its bad.
There seems to be some Bad Taste and some Resident Evil in this (is the R of RPD for 'Racoon City'?). The soundscape is pretty damned eerie and unrelenting, but is about the best part of this film. Given that its meant to all be a dream, I suppose the vignette, grain and ghosting effects are ok (although very much over-done), but the rest of it is nothing to write home about.
Given the comedy outro dub, I'm pretty sure this is meant to be a dark humoured bad parody, in which case I have to give you a break. However the bottom line is that you've delivered neither parody, nor genuine horror well enough to make it clear what we're viewing. While watching it I found myself confused by the production rather than the plot. That isn't a good thing, whether its a parody or not.
