Descanse em Paz

Disappointed by many of the reviews that don't give enough credit for the inventive twist in the zombie genre, and the subsequent emotional heft of Handing the Undead. Granted, the film does move at a glacial pace, and the entire screenplay was probably under 3 pages. A very quiet and somber drama, and other than a couple of forays into common zombie territory towards the end, this is a study in grief, loss, loneliness and hope. The story - as the rest of the film - unfolds slowly, but it reveals emotional depth I wasn't expecting. Expectations are tricky and in this case, I think the movie will be enjoyed by those approaching with an open mind and patience.
