There are CGI scorpions and sandstorms, which are used to heighten tension, but really just speak to the level of writing where they're clearly running out of ideas on how to make a desert chase zombie film interesting. Despite the film not being comical or tense enough to really land a noteworthy impression, it is watchable up until about the midway point.

Right smack dab in the middle of this film comes a very unnecessary rape scene, which ends in bloodshed as the zombie devours the accosting male. I use the word unnecessary because such a vile act doesn't need to be included unless it services the narrative, which this scene does not. If the filmmakers were going to run with the concept that men are monsters, and they were trying to make a statement on the male/female relationship, I could see the inclusion of this scene as potentially warranted, but it's only used for shock value and to include some more humans for there to be some gore. It also reinforces the claim that the writers were clearly running out of ways to make their one-on-one apocalypse chase film interesting.
