As this film opens sisters Hailey and Sienna, along with their friend Josh head off for a weekend camping in the woods. Hailey hopes this will help her sister get over her drug problems. It turns out that is the least of their worries. Shortly after arriving they see what appears to be a giant UFO hovering in the distance. There is a flash of light and the next thing they know it is night time. People who approach them are behaving like zombies. Shortly afterwards they meet Liam, a shady character who has a campsite in the woods. They get away to this camp but how long can they stay safe... especially when one of the group is starting to show signs of infection.
I didn't think this was terrible. It may be obviously low budget and feature a cast of people who I don't recall seeing in anything else but it managed to be suitably tense at times. I quite liked the fact that certain details aren't explained... the campers have no idea what the UFO did to make many people behave like zombies or why it was done so why should we... I'd rather an unexplained mystery than a pretentious explanation. The zombies, or as the credits call them 'the altered', are suitably creepy without being as scary as they are in some classic examples of the genre. The woodland location is atmospheric and serves to keep the budget low. I thought the cast did a pretty solid job; I've certainly seen far worse performances from well-known actors. Overall it may not be a must watch but I'd still recommend it to fans of low budget horror.
