Just got back from seeing this. I saw the 2 previous movies yesterday and today before seeing this. I don't see any trailers for this one. I went in blind and left out thoroughly impressed. There was some avant garde imagery throughout. I had no idea my boy Volde was in here. He always steals the show.

The main character Spike actually conveyed emotion really well. There were some pretty good acting throughout. There could have been more action but I still enjoyed it. The infected gave me Attack on Titan vibes. I like that it was weird.

Yup. This is like a big budget art house film especially in the first half of the film. The style of the arrow kills were sick as hell and the camera he used during the early bed scenes with the mother looked like it was shot on a shaky camera from 2003. It’s subtle but you can tell, it’s really dope how he mixed that in with the camera techniques, it was sublime. The second half rolls in and it’s like the studio said Iite we gave you 30 mins now cut all that artsy shyt out and shoot it like we gave you $60 million :dead: :russ:

The pacing in that 2nd half also was a direct successor to 28 Days Later, the deliberate slowed pacing, the focus on human interaction, It takes a lot of balls to do that when marketing suggests a pacing in mind of 28 Weeks Later. I would watch it again honestly.

No spoilers.

The first 25 minutes of the film? Great.

The rest of the film until the last two minutes? Terrible.

The last two minutes of the film? I'm not exaggerating—dead serious—when I say this is probably one of the worst endings of any film of all time. I mean it. The shift in tone during those last two minutes, relative to the rest of the movie, is truly unbelievable. I don't understand what they were thinking. It literally felt like a completely different movie.

I really wanted to like this.
