Yup, it's a zombie movie.
Really it's so much more. When was the last time a zombie movie made you cry? This one probably will.
The performances are compelling, most especially that of the little girl. She is completely captivating.
Then too there's the writing. Rarely am I ever surprised by a plot twist. Never ever am I surprised by a zombie movie. This one took me by surprise over and over right up to the final scene.
Then there's the direction. Scene after scene of cinematic glory. Really! I was blown away by the realism and humanity and beauty of the film. All that and it's a zombie movie. Imagine how hard it is to lull that off.
I gave this film a 9 but expect in future, after it's become a classic, I will need to elevate it to a 10.
