First, the positives: I thought visually, the film did a good job of portraying a bleak America gradually succumbing to a zombie outbreak. The make-up was also reasonably well done given the film's small budget. The acting by the two leads was also decent with Schwarzenegger in particular showing a vulnerable side that is usually not present in his movies.
Sadly, the film is let down by an extremely weak script and some massive pacing issues. Simply put, nothing happens during the bulk of the movie. The director seems more worried about the mood of the film than actually developing any sort of engaging story. Basically, a father is trying to come to terms with the imminent death of his daughter - it's a story that has been told countless times in other, superior films and this movie doesn't really bring anything new to the table in that regard.
If you enjoy movies with a depressing atmosphere you might get something out of this, however anyone looking for an entertaining or engaging film should, in my opinion, look elsewhere.
