“Being so pretty, it’s a curse.”
For his debut feature, director Cédric Jouarie swore he would not tone down anything and instead focus on making a truthful, if not painful work. Considering “The Very Last Day” is mainly about the violation of trust, abuse and exploitation, his thoughts, as expressed in his foreword to the film, certainly hint at an authentic first film.

A sequel to Joe Chien’s zombie horror-cum-torture porn flick, Zombie 108, Zombie Fight Club sees Andy (Andy On) and Jessica (Jessica Cambensy) – real originality in naming your characters there – escaping a zombie overrun apartment block in the corner of near-future devastated Taipei city (as seen in the original film). In the midst of this zombie holocaust, with all social structures on the brink of collapse, contaminated drugs cause hordes of rappers and strippers to become infected and join the aggressive flesheaters. When a Swat team arrives on the scene, it seems the cavalry have arrived, but they only want the stash of drug cash…
