Spoiler!

is not what people will expect but I liked it a lot. Half of it is in line with the '28' franchise and then it progresses into an A24-esque drama with a post-apocalyptic rage virus backdrop.

Super weird, visually engrossing (the initial mainland shots are eerily stunning with the silhouettes of the infected), and stylistically very British (which like the first kind of sets it apart).

Thematically it's really beautiful with a touching story at its core.

This one is going to be divisive with audiences. The nitpicking will be insufferable because of how it creatively deviates from the stereotypical zombie fare and tropes to forge a meaningful story that isn't solely based around surviving the infected.

Its also funny and I can see the TWD mindhive not liking that.

Fiennes is great in it.

The cliffhanger set up for The Bone Temple was goofy and dumb but its only 5 minutes of the movie.

Holy crap that was maybe the best movie I have ever watched. I think it was made for me. I wish I didn't watch it alone so I could talk about it.

Danny Boyle must have been on acid like Stone on Natural Born Killers. It was like Fury Road, Natural Born Killers, About a Boy, Trainspotting and Fangoria Magazine with giant zombie dicks everywhere. Five minutes in and I knew I am watching it again, soon.

I have never felt so physically uncomfortable watching a movie in my life so I could understand how people wouldn't like it but those people are weak. I walked out after pumping my fist like Judd Nelson in the end of Breakfast Club. I am giddy now.

Such a bizarre zombie aftermath world he built compared to Walking Dead. Every image evoked more depth to it. It was so desolate and depressing but by the end its hopeful somehow. Makes me happy there are so many creative awesome humans in the world that can make me feel that roller coaster with pictures an sounds. The world is in a good place.
