Tender, terrifying, ingenious, and intense. Nanua stands out amid crack casting: gifted, indeed.
The best zombie-ish apocalypse in years. Sennia Nanua is a major discovery, but it’s the dense social commentary and moral dilemmas that will haunt you.
It is a movie that asks big questions – what does it mean to be human? – and its answers will haunt you. It is a movie that is everything we go to the movies for. Do not miss it.
The film falls far short thanks to some pretty ropey writing, undistinguished direction and variable performances.
Even as it seeks to shock audiences, the film for some reason wants to console them too.
Gemma Arterton and Glenn Close grace the cast in this post-apocalyptic horror, but its atmosphere is punctured by stock cliches and am-dram gurning.
Young ‘hungries’ are humanity’s best hope of survival in this smart twist on the zombie movie starring Glenn Close and Gemma Arterton.
