Written and directed by David Freyne. Starring Sam Keeley, Ellen Page, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, Stuart Graham and Paula Malcomson.
Plot: after years of a zombie infection in Ireland, humanity grapples with reintegrating the cured back into society.
Another IFC film, another waste of time. Maybe it’s just us, but IFC does not make the kind of horror movies we typically enjoy. This film is less horror and more drama. It centers around Senan (Keeley) who was infected for four years, but is now cured. He returns home to live with his sister-in-law, Abbie (Page), but she has no idea that while he was a zombie, he killed her husband, his brother, Luke.
The people who were not infected are not nice to the cured. No one but Abbie’s son is truly likable. Abbie has her moments, but even she’s a moron. Everyone in this movie is a moron or a monster. So much so that it’s a bit unrealistic.
The zombies have a pack mentality for some reason, but you never find out why. They never explore it in the movie. DJ felt like it changed the rules whenever it wanted to do so. Aside from the specials and the acting, it was a shit movie with a shit ending that was depressing for depressing’s sake. It was not terrifying, tense or captivating. We’re still wondering what the point of all of it was.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
