Crappy film
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
It's truly pathetic. I watched In The Flesh years ago. In the Flesh was about the Zombie outbreak being cured, but you had to take medication constantly. Supplies started to get low and a very interesting effect of people basically being racist against infected ensued. They didn't tout themselves as being so original as this DIRECT and INFERIOR ripoff does.And gosh look at how the false claims works! Half the reviews are about how breathtakingly original it is...it's as interesting an effect on the masses as either. People don't bother to look into claims these days, choosing instead to believe things as they're presented. In this case they believe the PR press, so they actually promote it.These people are the real Zombies.Go find the original it's called In The Flesh.
This is a post-post zombie apocalypse film that takes place in Ireland. Good news. There is a cure for the zombie/Maze virus. Bad news is it doesn't cure everyone and no one wants a reformed cannibal in their neighborhood, especially one that killed a loved one. The ex-zombies remember what they did. They are treated as third class citizens only allowed to perform menial tasks. Now what make the film interesting is we discover the infected have a "group think" among themselves and can conspire to kill or change people. And it is Ireland where the Molotov Cocktail is the second most popular drink. Interesting, but slow moving. Looks at society's prejudices. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
The cast in this post-apocalyptic fare are brilliant... the story itself has so many opportunities to bring itself out of its very mundane direction, but very few are ever exploited.There are themes of Irish history, innate violence, self destructiveness, delusion, illusion and brutality etc etc, the elemental fibres that channel and should give momentum to the narrative of this 'not-so-genre' piece. They are there, but seem to be more a part of the everyday townscape rather than a juxtaposition against it.Ellen page is always worth watching (despite comments elsewhere), and it is her work, along with Sam Keeley's, that just pushes this film over the line. They and the rest of this fine cast, work to bring characterisation and depth to a script and direction that is lacking in both.The slow pace and melancholic palette are not out of place. The rural suburban set is also suitably shambolic, but interesting nonetheless. The costuming and make-up are well crafted, with just enough gore, veins and brains splattered about.Ultimately the film is not just about zombies and politics, but wants to ask questions about the human condition. But for this to be successful, it needed to have dynamics, it needed to have a directors bag with more experience in it, better production and editing, and above all, an understanding of how to approach and successfully create a narrative that is succinct, self aware and to the subject.Not an amorphous ball of ideas and body parts rolling aimlessly down the cobble-stones of a provincial Irish road.The film does work on some levels but not on the ones it needs to. Nevertheless I hope more of this slow-cooking narrative, not served up on a trowel fare, is coming our way...
About 40 minutes passed and i was like "WTF, i gonna sleep here", the movie is slow, boring, isn't a good horror movie, and neither a good "zombie movie". Maybe it has some good acting, but... Oh, i almost forgot, the hand shaky camera sometimes is annoying too
