Emotional Story About Father's Devotion To His Child During The Zombie Apocalypse
Contains spoilers, click to show
I like this movie. I mean an emotional journey of a father trying to find a safe place and people to take care of his baby daughter before he turns into a zombie is a great premise. Martin Freeman also puts on quite a good performance as he portrays the character Andy on this journey. The backdrop of Australia was beautiful as the setting in this movie too. This film has a well written plot and tense atmosphere but for me personally didn't quite reach fare enough into the horror genre to scare you and not enough zombie action. What it did have was added tension from the characters of other survivors and not knowing how they would deal with Andy being infected. I really liked some of the small details like how the little girl Thoomi made modifications to her shoes so her mother couldn't find her tracks or how she painted her face with stuff to hide her smell from the zombies. I even liked the villain's motivations and reasoning because they seemed realistic and very believable. Still it has me on the fence a bit because it feels like it was missing something when being considered a zombie movie. I wanted to rate it higher but personally feel like it deserves the score of 7/10.

Eli is a young boy with a life threatening condition. He can't be exposed to any contaniments whatsoever. He has to live in a plastic bubble in his bedroom and wear full protective gear when outside. Hoping for a miracle cure, his parents drive him to a secluded facility to see a doctor where him and his parents would stay whilst he received treatment. The facility has been completely decontaminated and is deemed safe for Eli to step out of his suit and live a relitavely normal life whilst there. However, life is normal. Eli begins to see various ghosts and spirits who seem to be trying to tell him something and getting him to leave.
The first hour of the movie I did enjoy and the boy who played Eli played him very well and was very realistic, which is more than I can say for his the adults at times. The ending was completely bizarre and unexpected. Not being a fan of possession movies it wasn't for me and I just found it ridiculous. Saying that though, the visuals were excellent. For example showing Eli with destruction behind him was spot on in showing what he was capable of. The ending felt like there could have been a sequel, but it there was I can't see me watching it.

This book Legacy of Honor was fantastic. I read it in one sitting because I could not put it down. Renae Brumbaugh Green did a great job with the lay out and characters in this book. It is the first book in her Stratton Legacy Series, and boy am I looking forward to reading more books from her!

Emma Monroe was a strong female character that was easy to like, she showed good growth through the book, and I loved her caring nature. She shows the true light of Christ to those around her even during her own sorrows. The other main character Riley Stratton was a good example of the prodigal son. I also enjoyed the banter between Riley and Emma as well as the sweet edition of Skye.

The plot was very engaging and had ups and downs that kept me interested and eager to see what would happen next. What I really enjoyed though was Renae Brumbaugh Green’s consistent pointing towards God being the answer to our problems and that we need a personal relationship with Him. It was realistic and a great addition that was weaved seamlessly into the story.

Overall, I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the smile worthy movements, the well written characters plots, and for pointing us all back to Jesus.
