A lot of movies have stupid people as characters, but this one may claim the title. Could barely stand to watch these amazingly stupid people with no common sense whatsoever. Just terrible characters that all deserved to be killed.
Seriously, how can anyone be into this, calling it better, original, a nice surprise? It has the same moves, gestures, look like any other zombie movie done with a smaller budget.
I got bored out of my mind waiting for something to happen, hoping for a twist, a better ending, anything that would remotely make me feel better about spending time in front of What We Become, but nothing came. The movie is as predictable as possible, from head to toes, bringing nothing new whatsoever, and don't tell me it focuses more on the reactions of the people and not so much on zombies, cause I've seen that too, and way better also.
I won't recommend this one, tho I usually like the non Hollywood productions, as I find them bold, cruel and raw. But here I kinda knew nothing would develop and all it takes is around 30 min for you to realize it too. So if you wanna drop an eye on this one, do it at your own peril.
Cheers!

I a massive fan of the Z genre, this at best mediocre. But be honest nothing new to the genre. The story( was there even a story )? lacks build up. Some decisions that just werent logical. However it wasnt crazy bad. I reccomend watching, just dont expect a revelotionary zombie movie.
Sorgenfri took me by surprise - in the best possible way. I walked in with relatively low expectations, but left thinking that this might be THE zombie movie I have always waited for. It might be my favourite to date.
It's definitely up to par with The Walking Dead in many ways, just more thrilling and horror-like. It really got under my skin and made me feel very... alive!
The special effects were great. The locations, settings and moods felt very realistic. Character development and dialogue was satisfying. The sounds were oh-so creepy.
All in all this is a very well made movie. Which happens to be a zombie movie set in a small town in Denmark. I never in my life thought I would see those two sentences in the same paragraph, but here we are.
Big kudos for having the vision and will to make this happen. I highly salute the team behind this effort and recommend it to all zombie fans. Count me in for Sorgenfri 2.

Don't trust the negative reviews. This is a well written, nicely shot and well directed indie horror movie. It has an engaging story ("It's about family, and that's what's important."), it doesn't waste time on unnecessary events or dialogue. The fat has been trimmed and it's a slick zombie flick.
The only reason it's not as famous as Pedo-Wood's big budget flicks is that the entire budget was used to make it look good and not on advertising. It's also a lot smarter than most US horror flicks. And if you watch this in 2020, you will laugh at all the coincidences and the pure irony because it's almost prophetic.
