Documentary-format movie about British men slowly turning into “zombies” via some unknown disease.
Centers on one man (Harold) and a woman that takes care of him. She looks a bit like a young Dawn French, if that holds any interest for you.
I can’t call it moving or funny or scary, because every time it seems to be edging towards one of those it just moves back to slow and deliberate. Not boring, just slowly moving along, going nowhere in particular, in no hurry – sort of like the disease itself.
It’s a bit frustrating, actually, because it’s fairly clever and never embarrassing, but it just never seems to even TRY to go anywhere beyond its initial borders. It’s like watching a slow-moving stream and wondering when it’s going to overflow or change direction. Certainly not unpleasant, but if you’re expecting anything else, somewhat disappointing.
Very few players, very little “action”. Weird…and by far the most tranquil zombie movie I’ve ever seen.
Grade: C-
