- Sensibility: A picturesque grocery store, bizarre romantic moment following extreme violence, and a car in reverse to a zombie are the only things in a wild movie that feel a bit off
- Cinematography: The film is shot with a very low resolution film which gives the film a camcorder vibe which enhances the post-apocalyptic feel dramatically. Additionally, the production design
is perfect, costuming is excellent, and the film is full of shots and frames that are unforgettable.
- Energy: This film grabs on and doesn't let go. There is almost never a moment of peace, and even those few peaceful moments have great dialogue and interesting character dynamics to keep things moving.
- Narrative: The story is not afraid to go to dark places, and it does so masterfully. It's rare to have such strong, flawed characters in a zombie film. The nature of the disease is a bit simple and some of the
romance feels a bit forced, but otherwise this film is probably the best zombie film narrative ever.
- T-Points: The film received three bonus points: one for an insane transition from a skyline with a bleed of a sleeping man, one for a blurry, almost Monet, shot of flowers, and one for a delirious montage
with a quick glimpse of "HELL"
It's rare to have a zombie film, or horror-thriller for that matter, that is this beautiful and visually interesting. A strong artistic vision portrayed throughout and a story that doesn't make you groan
are more than enough to make this one of the best zombie films ever made.
