I made it back alive and in one piece. While I really wasn’t gone that long — just two weekends — with everything I did on my trip it feels like I’ve been gone a month. I traveled light and did not take a laptop with me, relying on my iPhone for Internet access, and it worked wonderfully. I had intermittent access in Missouri and my Uncle’s rural home, but other than there where the connection was sluggish, it worked great everywhere I went. Unable to do any work (without tools I couldn’t even feel guilty about not working), I really did end up relaxing. I now feel refreshed and revived, though I am tired and probably behind on my sleep.

I liked the earlier two films, but this one falls short. It has a couple nice moments, but much of the film is routine zombie slashing and not particularly inventive. The film ends awkwardly, grinding to a halt versus soaring to a climax, leaving you with a “That’s it?” feeling. Not terrible, and it actually fit my fatigued mood perfectly as I enjoyed not having to think, but there’s not much here you haven’t seen better before.
