A fairly short German offering, but it's really pretty good. For a limited budget production, the story is ideal. The setting is restricted to one primary location, and I wouldn't be surprised if they filmed in a mostly-abandoned building.
I think what's nice is that so many zombie movies focus on the threat that other survivors pose, and has people being more willing to turn on each other. This one keeps people mostly pretty helpful. The main character makes the effort to break into the adjacent apartment to acquire some sedatives to help another captive out. He doesn't turn on the plumber's assistant as soon as things start to look desperate. In fact, he makes an effort to ensure that the others can survive.
In some ways, it's easy to say that the characters aren't reacting as extremely as we expect them to. No one seems to flip out. But that's a nice change of pace.
I have one little problem with this movie, and that the tool that they find for keeping the infected away. The Simpsons already did it.
