I think this movie was based on one of the best ideas I've ever seen for a zombie film. You feel so sorry for this guy who has been bitten and infected and who is turning to a zombie. Suddenly he starts craving for human flesh. He doesn't want to kill but he realizes he has to in order to survive. So you end up with a body in a living room, on a plastic sheet, and this guy kneeling over him and eating him with a very normal, serious looking face; as if he's having leftovers from thanksgiving dinner. He had a girlfriend but he has to leave her, even though he loves her very much. The following might be a spoiler!: And all he can do is masturbate by looking at her photo (which seems to be a very natural behavior under such circumstances). Slowly slowly he begins to rott like a corpse. And we have a beautiful scene in which he is again masturbating looking at his girlfriend's photo and what happens?! His dick falls off into his hand!! And we, the audience, can feel his pain and misery! And thank god that we aren't in his place.
This movie looks like its made on an extremely low budget. Lighting and acting looks pretty amateur. However the lighting in particular gives a very natural and realistic feel to the film; almost as if it was shot with a home camcorder. But simply the idea and the slowly paced degeneration makes this movie a delightful treat. We become so attached to this character that we hate to see him just fade off like that. I would recommend this film for people who would want to see what it would be like if a real person was infected with this "zombie-virus" and was slowly turning into a zombie.
But don't expect people walking around, yelling "brain, Brain!"
