Don't Kill Me: Italian Zombie film. Mirta takes drugs with her boyfriend, Robin,she comes back, smashing her way out of her crypt but is heart broken to find that Robin hasn't risen. This isn't your usual type of Zombie, They are like a Zombie/Vampire hybrid, gaining immortality and retaining their mortal appearance provided they feed on humans. There are Zombie hunters, the Benandanti, a centuries old organisation who pursue Mirta. She is "adopted" by an experienced zombie who instructs Mirta on the lore of the Overdead. The struggle between the Zombies and the Hunters take up the rest of the film. Some horrific scenes of people being eaten alive, their throats bitten out by Mirta before she learns the etiquette of fine dining. The strength of the Zombies is awesome but they can be overpowered after multiple gunshot wounds. Also a few well choreographed fight scenes. Not a great film and at times style outshines substance as the narrative unfolds but I found it to be an enjoyable Zombie tale. Directed & Co-Written by Andrea De Sica. On Netflix. 7/10.
