1. Low-cost movies shot by newcomers or amateur directors are basically not released directly on DVD. Most of them can't be seen, this category accounts for more than 90% of all zombie films.
2. A large-cost commercial film shot by a famous director, the rhythm is intense and exciting, even non-zombie fans can watch it very enjoyable. But very rarely, one will only appear in a few years, and you can count it with your fingers.
Obviously, this film cannot belong to the above two categories, because it was made for the zombie film lovers who read countless corpses.
I have to affirm that zombie films are really unnutritive, because there are so few topics that can be unearthed. It's nothing more than a virus outbreak, doomsday survival, and at most squeeze some humanity discussions. Today, several decades after the birth of the zombie film, these elements have been excavated, and there are too few new things that attract attention. There is no large-scale production and high cost, no CG shot worth millions of dollars to create a group of corpses attacking footage, and no blond beauty holding a zombie film equipped with a zombie dance among the group of corpses will certainly not be popular with the public. Because everyone is accustomed to the pattern of the protagonist in the zombie apocalypse using all kinds of weapons in the big city with a group of survivors and walking towards the sunset after fighting with zombies on all sides. In this kind of zombie movie, you only need to sacrifice a dragon sleeve to enter the supermarket to get food when you are hungry; if you have no bullets, sacrifice a dragon sleeve and go to the police station or weapon shop to get a pile of heavy firepower; if you want to escape, you can sacrifice two or three. Long Tao drove all the way to the sunset in a modified armored vehicle. After watching it, it makes people feel like they quit the pistol for a few months and then slap again.
These elements of pleasure that are liked by the general audience are not available in this zombie film. It's not low cost, but obviously the budget is not higher than low cost; the little-known director, but obviously still has a certain degree of filmmaking skills; although the actors have certain acting skills, they are not well-known actors, but they are neither good-looking nor muscular. Developed; the most important thing is that apart from the reminiscences of a few aunt-shaped women and the male number one who died at the beginning, there are no women in this movie!
These factors are obviously the biggest reason for the unpopularity of this movie, because it offends the biggest crowd of zombie movies, and the masses like fast food. There are no beautiful women, no zombies flying over, no CG special effects, to be stimulating but not irritating but not funny, yet so depressing, what's so good about it? "bad movie"!
But for fans who have watched countless zombie films, this film is quite a pure MAN film. The shooting mode of the documentary moved the plague-stricken location from the urban ruins to the African grasslands. There are no more galloping zombies and protagonists who surpass the peak of humanity and their exaggerated actions. There are only two trying to find a man and one of them in the doomsday. Brotherhood between. There are slow-moving zombies everywhere. Although they don't seem to be fatal and do not attack, they can end the story with a single bite. There is no heavy firepower here, only a pistol and AK, the bullets will be exhausted at any time, as at the beginning, I would rather go around.
Many people may not have noticed that the zombie who bit the black man actually helped them in the middle of the film, but finally decided to stay with the elder in the village. If you just stay trapped, you have to sit still, and the only way to survive is to keep advancing until you die. This is the close-to-true story of the rest of the apocalypse, two men who have experienced vicissitudes of life want to reunite with their respective families and struggle together. This slow-paced repressive plot, desperate to hope to desperate reincarnation, finally ignited the only flame of hope in the immense despair, no matter where the ending goes, it doesn’t matter, all this has to be said. A zombie literary film.
