“Escape To The Cove” (*1/2 out of four) was a banal horror thriller set in the not-too-distant future in which a pandemic has ravaged Earth and it has become overtaken by assorted criminals and zombies; one survivor (Garrett Barghash) meets another woman (Elisa Jannelle Alpizar) who vows to lead him to safety and serenity in a place called The Cove which has been untouched by this disturbia. Yet another movie set in the future that only rehashes ingredients from past movies. Film looks chintzy and lumbers and plods through all-too-familiar terrain. Eric Roberts has a minor throwaway role as a sleazy businessman; it’s about time he “escaped” from drivel like this and actually started rebuilding his career.
