Plot
Manel is sheltering from a rabies-like disease which sweeps the planet, until he is forced to leave and meet unlikely but essential traveling companions.
Cast
Not familiar with anyone of the cast but Director Carles Torrens I'm familiar with, though with mix results.
Verdict
As a life long mid 40's horror fanatic by favourite sub-genre has always been zombies. However I'm not as excited booting a new zombie movie up like I used to be as generally they're cliché ridden, trope saturated generic messes and it's rare I come across one I truly enjoy. Part of reason is that they're cheap to make so indie filmmakers with no budget and even less talent are making them and even when the budget is there the originality has waned.
With a generic title like Apocalypse Z which would befit a Scyfy original I went in assuming the absolute worst but found myself engrossed in an entertaining and likeable affair.
Following a single character has been done before but tends to be the setup for rather boring zombie movies this bucks that trend and was very engaging. His tiny travelling companion added both joy and consistent dread throughout the film which I enjoyed but very easily could have not.
The film isn't perfect, it has a mediocre ending and suffers from pacing issues a couple of times but overall this is one of the better zombie movies I've seen in the last 5 years and is well worth a watch for anyone who is a fan of the sub-genre.

I have 6 cats, they're my world. Being a crazy cat dad and generally a person who looks at the world with a animals > people stance made me wince throughout the movie. I had to Google in advance to find out if the pet dies, if the answer had been yes I wouldn't have watched this as that to me is the biggest horror trope that needs to die. What it did bring here though was heart racing dread and genuine concern, I approve! Horror movies simply don't scare me anymore and haven't for 30 odd years but this dread was a surprising and appreciate substitute.
The Good
Solid character development Some original moments The cat element really worked
The Bad
Weak finale Slumps a couple of times.

Spain movie studios have proved themselves with this one; they can perfectly make post-apocalyptic zombie movies just like REC or this one!
It gave me The Last of Us vibes to some extent which allowed me to be on the edge of my seat almost constantly except for the second part of the movie which becomes a bit slow, and they use typical clichés such as X character appearing when you know they are just "disposable", or the protagonist being "miraculously" saved here and there.
However, it's a worth watching movie which leaves the viewers with a cliffhanger so that we eagerly wait for the sequel!
All in all, it's not the best zombie movie out there but accomplishes its task: keep you sitting in front of your TV till the end!

Despite the terrible title, this isn't half bad. It may be the most character driven zombie movie I've seen since the wonderful 28 Days Later. These zombies are created through a virus that first has a long incubation period and is under control until a new variant comes along (sound familiar?) in which that time period is reduced to mere minutes and we are off and running. The film starts out strong establishing the main character and a startling car accident. He is the focal point from there on in along with, honest, his cat. His attachment to this cat is one of the more affecting aspects here, though some of it is a bit preposterous that he could contain this cat through all they go through, but it's a movie and they do plug along. It is a bit distracting though as I found myself worrying if it was eating, wondering how did it go to the bathroom, etc. Lol. There's less action in this than most zombie movies these days as this is more character driven. That works for me as constant action & noise can be monotonous. It's a Spanish film and the lead, Francisco Ortiz, was unknown to me, but I hope to see him again as he's a very strong presence. The ending action was a bit much to me, but the final scene is dark and leaves this open to a sequel. Id so, I hope it has a better title.
What a surprise when I came across this film the other day. I had bought the Kindle book version in 2020, and it was a blast reading, so much that when I finished it I went for the Part 2. The film similarity to the book is huge, with some changes but acceptable, missing the part in which its main Character has to do a mission for the russian sailors downtown, but for the rest is a very easy going film if you accept zombie movies and that not all zombies may die if wounded in the head.
As always there is so much more in a book reading than in its movie recreation. I would recommend the film and so the book.

As a fan of zombie movies, I went into this without knowing the plot or heard anything before for this. I saw it because it was with zombies and I gave it a chance. What a pleasant surprise it was.
The movie managed to deliver the stress of being alone in such situation. At start it is slow but it needed so as to feel the character and to care for him and for his car!
The acting was above par the scenery beautiful, the zombies well done and general the feeling of the movie was excellent.
I would recommend it of course to zombie fans.
It remind me a little of 28 days later mixed with walking dead.
Nice little zombie movie!

- CuriosidadesThe movie is based on a novel by Manel Loureiro. There are two other novels by him continuing the story.
- Erros de gravaçãoThe distance from Vigo to the Canary Islands is 1100 miles or 1680 Kms. That Airbus H160 model helicopter has a range, when fully fueled, of 530 miles. There is no way a fully loaded craft would get that far.
