Emotional Story About Father's Devotion To His Child During The Zombie Apocalypse
Contains spoilers, click to show
I like this movie. I mean an emotional journey of a father trying to find a safe place and people to take care of his baby daughter before he turns into a zombie is a great premise. Martin Freeman also puts on quite a good performance as he portrays the character Andy on this journey. The backdrop of Australia was beautiful as the setting in this movie too. This film has a well written plot and tense atmosphere but for me personally didn't quite reach fare enough into the horror genre to scare you and not enough zombie action. What it did have was added tension from the characters of other survivors and not knowing how they would deal with Andy being infected. I really liked some of the small details like how the little girl Thoomi made modifications to her shoes so her mother couldn't find her tracks or how she painted her face with stuff to hide her smell from the zombies. I even liked the villain's motivations and reasoning because they seemed realistic and very believable. Still it has me on the fence a bit because it feels like it was missing something when being considered a zombie movie. I wanted to rate it higher but personally feel like it deserves the score of 7/10.

"I’d known nothing of Serge Gainsbourg until I was co-producing an album by a French group called Louise Attaque. Their first album ended up being the biggest rock album in France, which was an amazing thing. Being with these French people and making this album, myself and my co-producer asked, ‘Well, what music would you recommend for us to listen to, things that we might not know that you could tell us about. What do you like? Because we like your music and what you do, so what is it that you like?’ This was the first thing that somebody there said, ‘This is what you have to hear, this is great,’ and it just struck me that way. We went to a big record store and said to everybody in the band, ‘Why don’t you pick out music for us? What’s the two or three CDs that are the best, or that you think we need to hear?’ We wouldn’t know a lot of this or maybe any of it, and one of them recommended this and everybody agreed, ‘This is something you need to hear.’ It didn’t sound like anything I’d heard before and I immediately liked it very much, the whole album. And then I found out about Serge Gainsbourg and all the things he did for decades, all different kinds of music. I think he’s really one of the great ones"

"On Xbox you could burn CD’s and some in games you could play the music in it, so Boy in Da Corner, Songs in A Minor and Speakerboxx/The Love Below were on my hard drive on my Xbox and would get played in any game that could do it in. So as much as this record is culturally significant, I just always had it on and I can just remember vividly it being a part of my teenage years. I think this track in particular because it’s got Wiley as well has that perfect energy, even if I wasn't from here I could tell that Dizzee is from East. It just feels like London, it just feels grey, someone’s pissed off, I don’t even know why or who’s pushed him too far but that could be anything, you know TfL, someone’s stepped on your trainers, someone’s chose not to sit next to you on the bus, you know, it could be anything. It's so angsty. I love music that can make you feel like that. Not that I’m trying to get people to go and moshpit or anything but music’s powerful. I like being able to tap into those things - you were fine before you came to my show and now you're hyped to do whatever, even to this day if I hear ‘2 Far’ I’m in the mode like ‘What! What! Who wants it!’"

Men are shit and teenagers are psychopaths. Point-blank absurd, pure trash, and an outright blast - 𝘓𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢 as one of the goofier and more fun beat-for-beat 𝘍𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 clones out there. What more of any value can I even say? This is exactly as advertised - checks off every bulletpoint for stalker flicks of the era but does so with a sublime verve and hearty layer of blunt sleaze. Alicia Silverstone is phenomenal, and the whole thing just looks fantastic, I mean really it's shot perfectly and has a real dope soundtrack to it as well. But apparently the director based the lead on a real girl he knew and just didn't change the name so he was legally forced to alter it; then he just swapped the place of one letter after it was completed and every time she's mentioned it's switched with some of the most hilariously shoddy dubbing since... damn, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘮𝘢𝘯? Lmao, love it. Also the carousel is just as hilarious and out-of-place as everyone has mentioned. Features no shortage of delightfully raucous segments but imo the best way to frame this is as a sick man being forced to be haunted by his own pedophilic tendencies over and over again, an endless cycle of pathetic men being rightfully tortured by the girls they (and society) prey upon. Helps that all these characters except for Silverstone are dumb as rocks. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘋𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳.
