An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie and, in fact, it was for the very first time that I watched a movie that I first discovered here, on Listal. It shows how influential this website had become to me at that point. Anyway, since Nick, my step-son, has always been a huge fan of zombie movies, we ended up watching this flick together and I’m pretty sure he had a blast watching the damned thing. Eventually, I have to admit that, even though the concept was really preposterous, the movie was in fact not bad at all. As expected, they went for  a combination of horror and comedy but it worked rather well. First of all, I have to congratulate the make-up artist(s) as there were some really gruesome scenes but they were extremely well done. However, I'm not sure if the comic aspect worked for me. Indeed, as a result, I felt detached during the whole thing and didn't care much about the characters and what they were going through. Concerning Tommy Wirkola, this movie definitely got him noticed and he would then go to Hollywood to direct ‘Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters’ which was another horror feature with a presposterous concept but it turned out to be rather underwhelming. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, it was a very original zombie flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like this genre.
