The ending is very good, but is it enough to save the film? I would say no. Hopefully some day we will be treated to a real top-drawer movie that takes similar risks with its ending.

Oh, and the film is also of note to gamers, since it was the inspiration for the story of the original Half Life.

While that doesn’t make it a bad movie, it does make those who are au-fait with the source material a little puzzled. The labotomy of the real meat of the book, and the shoe-horning in of Bob Marley references and so on just smack of change for change’s sake.

There’s a moment around the end of the second act, where they manage to ‘trap’ Neville, using ‘Fred’ and the same wire trick as Neville had used to capture one of the ghouls. This was where I thought the film got most unnerving - it implied the ghouls had an intelligence and were perhaps even developing relationships, which would eventually lead to a society, just like in the book. But the filmmakers don’t capitalize on this at all. Which is a shame, because it would have made it a much more interesting film.
