Lame! Predictable! Overrated! SPOILERS

The pregnant woman and the little girl surviving? Who would've guessed? Because in the real world the people most likely to survive in a train during the zombie apocalypse would be a pregnant woman and the little girl right?

They would have been one of the first to go!

In the end this movie was crap and predictable and you could tell the director was too scared to take any risks of offending the public so he went with the safe and predictable option of the guilty father sacrifice instead.

Will we ever get another decent zombie movie that isn't stereotypical and dare I say it.. SHOCK the viewers?? Probably not..

I agree that the whole script, apart from the superb zombie action, was horrible generic over the top melodrama, from start to finish. I was disappointed - and I didn't want to be disappointed, the zombie part was great!

I'm surprised that people complain about some scenes with the girl, or some scenes with the BAD guy etc, when THE WHOLE movie is full of stereotypes and cliches. Starting with the un-dead reindeer on the road and ending with the singing girl, yikes. That's such bad taste through and through. And it stood in the way of the overall GREAT idea (zombie-wise), for me at least. I would've enjoyed this movie if it wasn't for literally EVERYTHING else, apart from the zombies.

The reason people use a crucifix against vampires is that vampires are allergic to bull$hit.

Yes!!!!

Besides the stereotypes and cliches, there were countless inconsistencies and plot holes that were simply brushed aside to serve the script's purpose of portraying a really generic melodrama. But I guess running zombies is enough for people 

But the point is that the father and the blue-collar husband did everything they could to keep their daughter and pregnant wife, respectively, alive. And ultimately what got many of the characters killed was their selfishness and stupidity.

Don't agree at all. Read the reply about the father and the husband. Great flick!
