While there is a lot to love about Warning Signs, the scriptwriters take a few too many say routes in regards to the story, some of which are too hard to ignore. For instance, the door of an old boarded-up house (a house filled to the brim with walkers) just happens to collapse at the exact moment that Sydney gets trapped on the other side. Presuming this house was boarded up quite some time ago, why would the door randomly cave in when she was nearby?

Perhaps the most unbelievable thing about Warning Signs, however, is the revelation that Gabriel followed Anne all the way from their camp to her former home - the garbage heap. We're assuming that this location isn't just around the corner, and yet we're expected to believe that someone as street-smart as Anne failed to notice that she was being tracked - let alone by someone with as little experience out in the wild as Gabriel.

Not to mention he's partially blind, which would've made following someone in the dark a lot more difficult. What's more, did they not encounter any walkers along the way? Too many questions.
