It's a mediocre horror flick with a lot of bloody action, and it's the kind of film where it's easy to know how everything's going to end even before the movie starts.

3/5

McIntyre is adept at delivering the goods in the action scenes, rendered in intense fashion by first-time director David Matalon.

2.5/5

The Clearing is a contained "infected" flick that suffers from its lack of world-building; a case of what is never cinematically acknowledged somehow becoming more interesting than the presented horrors at hand.

To enjoy watching this film you must first assume that none of the characters have ever watched a zombie film themselves, or have even heard of zombies. Otherwise, nothing they do makes any sense. Liam McIntyre's character, Tom, is amazingly lucky to survive one idiotic stunt after the next. At times it was difficult to watch as he blundered about and did such stupid things. Actually painful.

Dad single handedly kills 200 zombies while film is just one long overdone action scene.

The characters are pretty orly written. It’s hard to root for the kid or the dad really. The child is insufferable though.

Another stupid zombie movie where some idiot all of a sudden turns into Jean Claude Van Dam. Don't bother.
