As for the plot, it is a very conventional zombie movie: infection, blockade, more people are infected, one by one becomes zombies, and finally it is the protagonist's turn. Due to the different shooting techniques and angles, the old story has a new meaning.
The shooter is the TV crew who recorded the show, which gives the camera a reasonable reason to document the entire process from beginning to end, at least more convincing than the slutty amateur guy with a DV in The Cloverfield File.
Fear always comes from the unknown, especially when watching a movie. The audience can only see what the director wants to show, and even the timing of seeing it is determined by the director, so when watching the movie, there is always a heart hanging over it, not knowing what will appear in the next shot. This hand-held method of shooting further strengthens this feeling, because the photographer's own emotions are also added, adding fuel to the audience's sense of fear.
At the beginning, the female reporter's contrivance made people smile, but her performance after the accident was still good. The performance of people's fears is very real, and the film also touches on the problems of estrangement and suspicion between foreigners and natives in reality.
