Production quality inconsistency is where this one falls apart. Some of the Make-Up and Effects work is good, a lot of it is very bad. Same goes with the location sound, first scene in the diner is all over the place, as is the audio in the Caprice, where the window is wide open and there's no atmos track for the air rushing past. Shots within the same scene have widely different exposure and grade, and as for the script, there's dialog in the car scenes that adds nothing to the plot, just an excuse for the writers personal diatribe. A bigger budget wouldn't save this one, but a good production designer and 1AD could have turned it in to a good low budget or Indie monster flick.

Standard Low Budget Zombie Flick.
Have you been bit?
Just another low budget zombie film. Jesse (Jemma Dallender ) travels to Atlanta CDC to find her mom, meeting and killing folks along the way. The infection was caused by a virus vaccine, which apparently wasn't tested and something that was rolled out in just a few days given to most of the world. CDC doctors do not wear any masks either. If you are paranoid about vaccines, then you might buy into the gaping plot holes. Roy was a guy I loved to hate. They could have extended the diner scene a few minutes. Nothing special. Snarling aggressive fast moving zombie types.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
Zombie
This film tries and fails to be the contemporary Dawn of Dead. The problem I have with this film is that all the side characters are throw-aways in that you only get to know them superficially before they are inevitably killed. Without the emotional investment with those characters it makes for a poor viewing that plays out like a poorly pov computer game.
Strain 100 is like a mirage as from a distance it may look like a "real" film but on closer inspection it is nothing but a worn out storyline that may have been flogged to death.
