I finally saw the latest zombie flick. Thumbs up! As a commentary on the human condition it is merely mediocre, but I give it an A+ for being vivid and pretty. Shiny, even. The primary thing that makes it cool is that it has speed-zombies. Not like the lumbering, brain-eating zombies of yester-year. Now we have gritty, 16mm footage of droplets of zombie blood and zombie sweat flying in perfect spheres away from the furrowed brows of the many mindless, engraged antagonists of the film as they flail and twitch their way toward our heros. Just lovely. Plus, lots and lots of Britons die, and the female lead has extremely cute hair. You love that. |
