So in the end (SPOILERS)


They all die?

reply

Maybe. Maybe not...

reply

I'd say so. The island was swarmed with zombies and the only alternative was jumping into the ocean. No way they'd survive.

reply

Lake Michigan, not the ocean. But I agree, they all died.

reply

Lake Michigan. My bad.

reply

Yes they died. No way out.

The island was overrun with zombies and they were already off the boat when the zombies started to charge. And it looked like there were hundreds of them. Probably included some other survivors who had gone to the island too and were turned into zombies.

I guess the dog survived though.

reply

CHIPS ..!!

reply

I'm on the side of them not surviving but this brings me back to the IMDB board days where there would be detailed threads dedicated to this sort of debate and how they did in fact get off the island. Good times...

reply

IMDB removed one of its best features. Crazy. At least MovieChat came to the rescue.

reply

Mind boggling tbh. MovieChat doesn't hit the same and Reddit sure as hell ain't cuttin it.

reply

IMDb was a good time. I'm glad we have Moviechat, but it doesn't get the same traffic. Websites turned to crap all in an effort to stick it to Trump.

reply

It's definitely a political shit show. Also doesn't help that there seems to be bare-minimum maintenance too. Adopting features from say a Reddit to increase engagement would definitely liven this place up.

reply

I have to join in. I will forever fucking hate IMDB for shutting down their boards. It was the ONLY highly trafficked place to go to discuss any movie. Moviechat is ok and I'm glad we have an alternative but it's not the same. Even the most obscure films would have at least a few comments on the old IMDB boards but here they're empty and, due to the low traffic this place gets, they're going to stay that way. Fuck IMDB.

reply

They weren’t interested in random opinions, except for reviews.
It was never a discussion board, but more like a Wikipedia for movies.

reply

Yep. If the zombies on the island didn't get them, there wasn't hope on Lake Michigan. Thanks Stu. You run a really tight ship.

reply

The question is, SHOULD the movie showed their deaths before the credits rolled?

reply

No because we wouldn't be here today discussing it 😄!

reply

Haha. I guess it leaves us debating....

reply

It's a fun scenario to imagine. You just had everyone killed again and you're stuck on Stu's boat in Lake Michigan. The engine is dead and the only lure you have is leftover adult film props. How long do you have?

reply

I see what you did there.

reply

I was left with the impression that they all died.

reply

Did the original theatrical show them on the island full of zombies?
I remember the director’s cut had extra footage of that.

reply

SPOILER! I never saw this in the theater but have seen it many times streaming and on DVD. All I can say is that I have only seen the one ending consistently, the one where they arrive at an island that is overrun with zombies. It leaves you with the feeling they all perished.

reply

According to this website everyone died.

There’s no question they did, making it far bleaker than the original.
A true horror film leaves no hope.
