    An interesting take on the zombie model. No cannibalism, but plenty of scenes that will remind the astute zombie viewer of many classic shots.

    I adored the storyline, but it has to be one of the most boring films ever made. Now, I like slow paced films, but this is just ridiculous! I have limits!

    Great Zombie Flick

    A fascinating reimagination of the zombie genre. One that takes away the violence and gore and rather chooses to consider the social, emotional, and political ramifications that would come with the return of the dead to life. Slow and quiet in pacing, but never boring.

    A sort of touching zombie-esque movie. The acting is fairly good, just don't expect a concise ending.
