Slow burn character study
6 November 2021
This is really a character study and friendship between a zombie girl and abused kidnapped boy. It's less horror and more drama and looks at their budding friendship thru the lens of damaged innocence. It was an interesting watch but the script needs sharpening and the ending is unclear. Key plot points were not explained like how she became a zombie and how she later becomes human again. Guess it doesn't really matter as the zombie aspect is downplayed and feels forced into a story that doesn't need a zombie aspect. Still you have to appreciate the effort put into a mish mash genre story which isn't easy to do. Still an enjoyable watch with a fresh take on a well trodden genre. A bit of fast forwarding will help get thru the slow placing.
