Considering this was my first Malaysian zombie movie, not a bad experience. It concerns a zombie outbreak in Kuala Lampur, and there are three intertwining stories that finally mesh into a (sort of) cohesive whole.

While some may carp about this being more of a family drama than a zombie horror flick, I found the cultural differences interesting. The acting was okay. Not great, but okay, mainly by the actor playing the grandfather, and the actress playing the human rights lawyer.

It was a black comedy, to be sure, but it blended horror and pathos fairly well. On a side note, if Malaysian people code-switch from English to Malay and back again, well, let's hear it for communication!

As for the pacing, while it is a little dull in stretches, the action picks up in the last thirty minutes and the ending is solid. I won't go so far as to say this is the best zombie flick around, but it isn't the worst, either.

The acting is pretty bad. Sad that the side characters speak English and act better than the main characters. The pacing is just awful. More time spent on family drama than anything else. Barely any scenes with zombies. I would have given it 1 star but I did chuckle at one part in the office.

Do you like seeing eccentric people being forced to deal with zombies in a way that brings out all their quirks? This movie may be for you.

This movie had no problem with making fun of different religious that make up Malaysia's population. Some people might see the scene where the sister-wives of the Muslim man are discussing their relationship now that he has married a 4th (much, much younger) woman as a waste of time, or a straw man argument, but the key factor is that this scene is absolutely realistic, and more importantly, it shows that these three actually like and care for each other, even though the only thing they really have in common is that they are married to the same odious male.

Lots of other zombie moving and video game cliche's abound.

If you enjoyed Shaun of the Dead, give this a try.
