Very good film, though I felt it was crying out to be a series. There are three distinct 'movements' in the film - the initial apocalypse, the fortress and the collapse, which are pretty standard zombie movie fare, though realised here with gusto. I'd have loved to see the apocalypse section extended more - I really liked the characters and the sense of a small community slowly being engulfed in something terrible . . . and I would have loved to see the point where the Red Crow realise they are immune, and have to come to terms with the implications of this.
I liked that the story took its time go get going, I know there's meant to be a golden rule of a zombie death/take over in the first 90 seconds - and you sort of get that. The acting is first rate, the story line great, and the nod to Quinton superb. I'm not going to hunt down other movies by this director...
Was captivated by the SL of only certain people being immune and thought it was shot well and had great characters but it fell into the typical zombie movie style and at times seemed a bit comical. Overall worth a watch but won’t see myself watching it again
This movie is something that is beyond words but I'll try my best: The animated segments are absolutely beautiful. The story is something you will have to experience. You end up feeling the rawness of the open wounds on display here. I started this thinking it would just be a fun Zombie movie, but I won't lie this film moved me in a way I haven't felt in years.
Nice take on the Zombie movie
