These guys (FlawlessFilms) are really good at anything video and are some good YouTube friends of mine. So I thought I would throw them some views on there new zombie short and let you guys review it and give any constructive criticism that you think they need to hear!

Its ok
'S got a lot of serious tonal disonance and pacing issues. That dude looks like he barely cares as the zombies eat that girl alive for an akward 30 seconds. That sequence made me think it was going to be a comedy horror movie a la Brain Dead and I was like "Aw ye" but then it took itself too seriously for what it is, like all too many short films do. This repeats itself through the whole thing; for instance, the weapons dude shoots himself and Mr. Protagonist is all like "Aw goshdarnit". But that's okay! See, your friends have the basic know-how, equipment and probably money to keep making shorts. They just need to watch more low budget movies and practice their writing and stop hiring models as actors. They'll get there.
not as flawless as their name implies, but nevertheless it's okay.
Decent, but yeah, the guy just looking at the girl while she was getting eaten was sort of really weird, and the girl just moaning please didn't seem realistic or believable at best. I didn't finish watching so I can't say much more
Questions and statements for your friends: 1. Your friends could've thought of a more creative way for somebody to stumble besides tripping on their own two feet? 2. A person getting their guts devoured would not be regularly asking for help. They would be in a terrible state of shock. 3. A man just saw his gf get eaten alive. Wouldn't adrenaline keep him mindlessly running for some type of safety? (The staring was a bit strange, too prolonged.) 4. Why would the man care for or even look at a random gunman in the middle of a zombie invasion? 5. (PERSONAL OPINION) The hammer-stick seems like a badly-made Dead Rising reference. And it looks stupid in general. 6. I don't know how long Iphone batteries last, but that Iphone seems to have an extraordinary battery lifespan. 7. Where the hell did that woman come from!? Why did she invite the random dude into her car? 8. Why did that woman just leave the door open? To get some fresh air? 9. Once again, a person being devoured would barely be able to form coherent words, even less the ability to sweetly ask for euthanasia. 10. That was a very awkward, nonsensical and cheap ending. What were those men, zombie spec-ops?
