This is a zombie movie different to any other zombie movies. A group of zombies have been cured and released back into society, much to the annoyance of those who were never zombies. Anyone who has watched anything to do with zombies will know that in order to become a zombie you have to be bitten or scratched by one, which then kills you and you become one of them. So the idea that you can be cured to become a living breathing human again does seem far fetched, especially as they can remember being a zombie so essentially they can remember being dead!?! Anyway not every zombie is cured as a small percentage are resistant to the cure but are still being quarantined until a cure for them is found. Because of the call for the resistances to be terminated and the way the cured are treated by society, the cured form an alliance to be treated fairly and get their voices heard.
Personally I got bored of the film rather quickly, some parts were entertaining but for the most part I couldn't wait for the movie to end. The shoddy camera work didn't help and by the end the Constant camera shake gave me a headache. It's a shame really as most films with Ellen paige I have liked, but this one was just disappointing.

Haunted Thanksgiving

It’s Thanksgiving, and Emma and her new husband, Phil, are planning a quiet holiday with their friend Jeremiah and his friend Rose. Like Emma, Jeremiah is also a medium who has solved mysteries with Granny, the ghost of Emma’s great-great-great grandmother. That’s going to come in handy with Granny shows up. It seems that one of the ghosts in Julian’s Pioneer Cemetery is more upset than usual. It sounds like she thinks someone is about to die. Is she right? Can Emma and Jeremiah stop it from happening?

It’s been a couple of years since we got a new Granny Apples story, so it is wonderful to get to visit some of the characters again with this short story. The story is a bit simple, even for a short story, but it serves as a great excuse to spend time with these characters again. While we don’t see everyone in Emma’s orbit, I was glad to get the update on the characters who are here. All of them, living and dead, are wonderful. We even get a glimpse of what might be coming for another character this author writes about. This is a story for fans, and they will be happy. If you haven’t met the characters, don’t jump in here, but do start this fun paranormal series.
