We are first introduced to recent widow, Karen [Heuring] and her two daughters Sarah [Scout Taylor-Compton of Rob Zombie's Halloween] and Emma [Chloe Moretz]. After her husband's death, Karen has little in way of finances and options, but she does have the deed to an old house from the family he never spoke about.

Old, dark inherited house? Check. Hot chick? Check. Zombies? Check. Sounds familiar. A plus being the zombies are children but they are also just wearing some fancy black attire and white face paint. Although, they do get elbow deep in some raw flesh of the human variety, that's a good sign, right?

There really isn't anything all that new here, but who needs originality anyways? I'm not even sure if the word zombie can even be applied here. They lack the whole aimless wondering for flesh take we see so often. They don't even eat everything in sight, either. Zombies on a mission!

A sweet neat shot was when a few of the still breathing characters are standing on the main floor of a house while a not so fortuante character is upstairs being pulled apart and eaten. As they stand listening to the events above, the blood drips through the old wooden floors covering them. Great shot. And talk about a creepy prank to pull while crashing at an old cottage. Ideas, ideas...

Not recommended.
