Musings:
It was very British, yeah, you can certainly see where something is made. Even the music was very British, but then it was because I heard it in another creepy show.
A friend was all you must watch it! Oh...there are zombies. Dang, zombies give me nightmares.
It started a bit slow, and I did wonder if I would even bother. But it picks up, in this slow creepy way. And that end. Chilling.
The kid does a great job as this weird zombie hybrid. She does steal the show. And that end, damn. I can not get away from that.
So I would recommend it for it being different, fine for being British. They do make different zombies movies. But then it is based on a book, and even if I have not read it, well there are awlays different ways to adapt something and I liked the bleakness of it all.
But the cat, the cat! I wanted to cry.
Anyhow, good movie.

Movies like that give me bad dreams.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both
DeleteI wouldnt dream of even watching! but thanks for the review.
ReplyDelete;)
DeleteI didn't know about this one
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI loved this one. It was really different. My husband makes me watch all the zombie movies so I'm happy to find one we both like with a new spin on the genre.
ReplyDeleteAnd that ending! lol
For What It's Worth
I was bored at first but then it got good
DeleteThat sounds interesting. I'm not big on zombie movies but it does sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt was done differently
DeleteI still need to watch this! I really enjoyed the book and I'm curious about the adaptation. I think I can stream it from Netflix or Amazon, so I should really do that soon.

I should try something by him
DeleteI really enjoyed the movie adaptation. I also loved the book. ;)
ReplyDeleteI should try it
DeleteThis is not for me but I know a few people who would love it!
ReplyDeleteI loved the book so I was pleased to find I liked the movie as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI really must try something by the author
DeleteI don't usually do zombies but this one was okay. The ending didn't make much sense for me. Maybe if I was in the character's head to understand her reasoning.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big zombie fan either and still I watch the movies
DeleteI'm not sure I'd like this one.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not for you
DeleteI don't think I'd heard of this. The cat? I don't think I want to know :(
ReplyDeleteYou do not want to no, it was sad
DeleteI really need to read this book. I might squeeze in the audio soon.
ReplyDeleteCool :D
DeleteThis movie looks tripped out. I thought about getting it but just haven't been sure. And nothing better happen to a cat!
ReplyDeleteI was bored but...it got better as it progressed
Delete.....*silence*
