Agreed. This film was very effective. The novel African setting in particular was quite inspired and ingenious.

I very much liked the look of the zombies, and agree that this was quite a good film.

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

Liked everything about it. Still, I argued with the tv screen in a few spots, but that's what you do to the really good ones. The bad ones, you laugh at.

Great flick, fellers! Gave it a seven!

I just saw it.

At first it was just kind of on in the background, but it drew me in. Great performances, loved the minimal dialogue and subtle soundtrack, gorgeous setting in spectacular contrast to the uncomplicatedly ugly zombies... you ask me, this is how to make a zombie/survival movie.

I found it extremely moving and powerfully done, almost in Kubrick fashion, with so little necessary to convey the emotion inherent to the extreme situations.

Beautiful, tense, and intense. It also managed several times to scare the hell out of me.

Thumbs up. I'll watch it again in order to get the full effect from the beginning. Its sheer clarity alone is something very special.

Ha, so true!

The kids are a mess! You brought them home exhausted and pretentious!

I agree-very good--tense and suspenseful with great scenery. I usually hate this type of movie, but this one is different.
