Forgive Us All

This was dreadful. Why even bother with the zombie genre when it's been milked dry a thousand times over? Especially after genuinely strong entries in recent years like The Last of Us. This felt amateur at best-absolutely awful. The zombies were ripped straight from World War Z in how they moved, sounded, and acted. At least try to be original. There wasn't a single new idea here, just a dull, lifeless rehash.

Honestly, stop making films-this isn't for you. Critics will tear this apart. I heard it was self-funded, which makes sense-if they'd pitched this to a studio they would've been laughed out of the room. Maybe a producer could've at least salvaged the story.

Zombie movies now come with a bar of expectation, and this failed in every single respect. I can easily see this sinking below 20% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Perhaps watch this as a nature show, with some great locations and great beauty (although the sepia filtering made it look like a 50s spaghetti western.

But the storyline is extremely weak, there's no buildup of characters, it struggles to provide continuity of the story, and indeed didn't even explain what the premise of the story was for a long way into the movie.

Perhaps it was trying to be a slow burn - but scenes that appeared to add nothing to the story dragged on for ages.

Most of the cast appear to be very early in their careers, and did reasonably given the material they had to work with. But no outstanding acting even by the more seasoned actors.

I'd strongly recommend not wasting your time with this.

This could actually have been really good. Some great actors and stunning scenery. Richard Roxburgh is as per always brilliant.

BUT an overriding yellow,or sometimes green, tint and that poor horse stabled with its bridle on (that's just lazy). Bombastic music seems to be a thing at the moment. Overall it fees like an overfunded student film.

Better luck next time.
