Another zombie movie from Canal+ which also produced Inside, so I'm expecting there will be blood everywhere. And yes, there is blood everywhere and it's quite gore. I don't recommend this film for the people who have a weak heart, because it's quite brutal (though it's quite tame compared with Inside). Well, about the story, it's quite different than the other zombie movies. While the usual zombie movies usually began with the story of infection or how the people turned into zombies; the plot began with the story of a revenge, that a family wants to take revenge to another family because the member of the family is being killed. While it's a new way to open a zombie story's plot, I find it a bit confusing and it's rather a forced situation. I mean, you're on your way to take revenge, but then you find out that the world changing into a mess, that everybody turns into zombies and you don't know it can be happened. But, it's a movie, the writer can do anything with the story and we, the audience, just can shut up and enjoy it. Well, try to enjoy it, I mean.
Then, after the casts in the story realized that they are in a zombie situation, all the things to do is just to survive. Survival, this is the reason why I'd love zombie movies. I love see how the people in the movies can survive from the zombies, either being eaten or being infected. Yet, I don't see the survival in this movie quite appealing. Yes, the movie presents me with amazing brutal scene, but it's not that interesting. In the opposite way, it makes me a bit frustating as the casts tried to kill the zombies by attacking the body, not the head. I don't know if it's done on purpose, but the casts seemed too dumb to see that the head is the zombie's weakness. But, there is a thing that I can enjoy in the movie and surprisingly, it's not the zombies, but the disputes within the family. Each family has their own problems and that's what makes the movie a bit interesting. Well, if there's no zombie, I'd like to categorize this movie as a family drama since the drama is a bit strong in here.
For the last paragraph, I don't really know what should I discuss about this movie. But, the thing is I'm a bit disappointed with the movie because it's not suitable with my taste of zombie movies. Yet, I know there will some zombie-addicts who will love this movie.
