Wonderfully entertaining cineliterate conversion of the zombie horror into metatextual infotainment.
By way of spoilers; the first 25 minutes, the film within the film is super gory hyper realised cliched nonsense but still more entertaining than anything with Milla Jovavich. Only once we rewind to the birth of the project do things make sense, but technical marvels like how they filmmakers stayed out of shot originally unless it was filmed in multiple takes but even then continuity would be challenged.
What remains is a remarkably entertaining and smart film about filmmakers getting their souls back.
