This is a movie I don't know how to rate

I don't know how the official characterizes this film.

If it's a comedy, the comedy might feel bad to you.

If it's a thriller, then the rating would have to be a little lower.

However, the idea of ​​the film is quite new.

=================================

The main plot is as follows:

Meteorite swarms attacked the town, and many people became zombies. Immediately afterwards, the sky was blocked, and there was acid rain that made people smoke, and there was light that sucked people up.

A group of protagonists go to a hooded man's hut to hide.

The zombies caught up, and it seemed that they could not be killed, and a group of people went to hide in the underground secret room.

The man in the hat said it was an alien attack that turned people into zombies. Of course everyone doesn't believe it.

Since one of them was pregnant and was about to give birth, everyone had to go out to the hospital.

In the entanglement with the zombies, everyone found that beating the head can kill the zombies exactly, so the situation began to improve.

Everyone drove out of the town and found that they were blocked by high walls, so they had to find another way.

Under the development of the plot, everyone was turned into a zombie or sucked into the sky, including the heroine.... Only the male lead escaped the high wall by flying a plane.

The male partner landed outside the wall with a parachute, and found that the government personnel had drawn a cordon outside the high wall, and a large number of people marched outside the cordon, questioning the government's secret experiment.

However, in fact, the meteorites brought viruses, and the acid rain from the aliens is a therapeutic agent. After the treatment, people will be sucked into the sky to protect them, and the high wall is to prevent people from taking the virus out of the town.

After purifying the heroine as well, the aliens thought that all the treatment was over, so they removed the high wall, put the remaining living people back on the ground (the ones who were killed can't be saved), and flew away. Crowds began to pour into the town, and government aid workers also entered the town.

The next day, the heroine and the hooded man were talking in the hospital. The heroine said, "We kill zombies, which means we are killing people." The hooded man said, "When the zombies are going to kill us, we have to save them first. Own".

However, you know, didn't the male lead run out, he was not purified, he wanted to see his girlfriend, but fell to the ground in the hospital, the zombie virus broke out, and the infection reappeared.

The ending is actually not bad. The heroine and others have trapped all the zombies in cages, looking forward to the aliens coming back one day.

===============================

The biggest problem may be confusing "brain" and "funny".

There are 6 protagonists, except for the heroine and the man in the hat who barely pass the IQ, the others are simply below 40 points.

I can even clearly feel, "The male policeman asked the female policeman to read out the decree, asking everyone to put down their weapons, which can only be used by police officers, while the female policeman recited the decree seriously, while the other 4 people put down their weapons obediently", this plot It's obviously a joke, but after the plot of "Zombie invasion, everyone shot to stop and escape, and the policeman was rescued by a man in a hat", who would think it was a funny plot? They should all think it's "the screenwriter/director is insane", right?

But one thing to say, the idea is indeed good.

General zombie films describe cruel human nature, fight for antidote, etc., but this one uses the perspective of "one leaf blinds the eye" to explain the story.

It even smells like complaining about the government. People think that the government is conducting secret and dirty experiments. In fact, the government is really protecting the public and taking the blame. Why do you say that? If it wasn't for grievances, the male supporting cast could completely fall outside the town. There was no need to film the protests of the masses outside, and the aliens flew away after killing the virus. There was no need to change anything, and the main plot would not change.

It's a pity, if it's not deliberately engaging in "comedy elements", but serious storytelling, and finally reversed with intention, I think it can be scored 8 points.

Undead quotes

  • Alien #1: [to other Alien without suit] Put you clothes back on.

    Alien #2: I'm comfortable with who I am.

  • Marion: One day you're out on your boat and you get attacked by zombie fish, they munch at your face, like you're the main course at an all you can eat crazy country boy buffet. You walk away, tell the town your story; they think you're mad. Everyone thinks you're mad, you think I'm mad. It happens again, this time it's not zombie fish it's zombie Berkeley. But this time I'm prepared, I'm ready to fight whatever they can throw at me. Still i wasn't strong enough, the strongest ones are always the last ones left; if that's not me, it must be you. If that was the case you wouldn't have battled the undead and lived. You'd be the entree at a smorgasboard of brainfood.
