43 - The Dead

    I first read about this movie about a year ago, on AICN.  It's a zombie movie set in west Africa.  Two guys try to make their way to a refuge.

    I'm not as overwhelmingly positive about this movie, but there was something I liked about it.  It was a very natural pacing, and it felt less like a movie and more like a document of a person's experience with a zombie problem.

    The dead aren't the same as they are in many other movies.  They seem less motivated to kill the living unless they get very close.  It's also a pretty bleak movie.  It's photographed well.  But I also had some real problems with some of the editing, but that seems to have been limited to the first 20 minutes or so, and was probably done to save time.
