culturalfatwa's rating
Came to this film with a bit of time to kill looking for Zombie style gore but pleasantly surprised. Quite a thoughtful film and with a heartfelt anti war / anti authoritarian message somewhere in the schlock horror. I didn't know any of the cast but some decent acting and non cardboard characters..low budget doesn't really show. Definitely deserves better than it's mostly got on here .. I see it even took some prizes at the 2017 Vienna Film Festival and this doesn't surprise me. Also a good few twists on the 'zombie style' film ..not exactly a zombie movie at all. I would definitely recommend to any body into war or horror. Very watchable.
9 for absolute stellar entertainment value
3 for the actual cinematic experience
It's very hard to believe Aliens 2 came just after this in terms of effects and atmosphere.
Where to start ..a huge special effects budget with the end result of effects and prosthetics that often look worse then plan 9 form outer space.
Acting Oh dear lord The true star unfortunately but truthfully one woman's naked body (Mathilda May) Special mention Patrick Stewart ..how did he ever get another acting gig after that mad screaming and sort of kicking spider act!
Very very special Will bring a smile to your face Spoilers..you couldn't sum up the plot on 2000 words Over long well look yes and no.

Nice coming of age movie. Possibly too much faith in the power of literature to renew and redeem but it's heart very much in the right place.
