Ever After

The problem with going back to plant based nature as a solution to human based destruction, is that plant warfare is a thing. So this film suffers from a serious logical fallacy.

The zombie virus is clearly a plant based doomsday device, and plants kill each other all the time, it's not like plant life is any different from that of any other living organism. Plants, fight to death over Earth's limited resources, like any other form of life.

But I get the charm of the concept of an egalitarian mother nature, and the idea of a nurturing female energy. Unfortunately, reality doesn't car what the screenplay writers wish to be the case.

Either way, I love it when art has something to say about existence and human nature, wrong or not. At least "Ever After" tried to participate in an important discussion, so the film isn't a complete failure.

I really liked this movie. It was filmed beautifully and the acting was very good. It's atmospheric, with the almost droning music. It reminds me of Annihilation. I love the twist in the zombie movie story.

I hated the main character and hoped she'd get killed but I think that's what kept me watching.

I agree with some reviewers that some scenes didn't make perfect sense but it didn't ruin the movie for me.

I've seen terrible movies that deserved bad scores but this is not one of them.

I like watching those borderline rated movies. I feel like I can really decide for myself whether or not I really liked it.

I think you should give this one a chance.

World premiere at the 43rd Toronto International Film Festival - TIFF18.

This is the second feature film by Swedish director Carolina Hellsgård, working in Germany. The post-apocalyptic zombie setting benefits from some impressive production design and the existentialism embedded adds some layers to the story.

Pout, brood, sulk, zombie, repeat. If you like watching a sad girl wander around the beautiful countryside and occasionally hang out with another sad girl then you will enjoy this movie. The zombies are fast, everything else is in slow motion.

A german horror/zombie movie - and a low budget one. So maybe do not expect a Zack Snyder type of action galore. It would help with enjoying the movie if you don't.

So low budget, character driven (no pun intended) zombie road movie then. Well I have seen worse and less innovative (horror) movies. Depending on your ability to suspend your disbelief and give this movie some slack, the level of enjoyment will vary.
