Smart, timeless, and well-directed humor, elevated by memorable performances, sharp writing, and a confident visual style. The film entertains audiences across generations, keeping its charm alive through the years and proving the enduring strength of a classic that remains relevant today. Very Good!

"28 Days Later 3" is such a good "zombie" film it almost hurts - although the creatures aren't necessarily zombies, they are terrifying. The first act, as a whole, is a beautiful example of how horror should be done and, even better, it's absurdly auteur-driven, with frantic cuts and edits that both contextualize the viewer and create historical correlations with the people of the United Kingdom. It's a brilliant opening: the feeling of being in an unsafe place, with little ammunition, unknown creatures, night approaching, the possibility of escape slipping away - and on top of that, knowing that beyond the creatures, there are also humans and hidden mysteries. All of this builds a unique and tense atmosphere.

The opening is truly excellent. The film develops some family subplots that, admittedly, are the weakest points of the story; however, without them, the film simply wouldn't exist, so we accept them. The franchise has always had a touch of humor - almost terrifyingly funny - and this entry follows suit: the director crafts a horror film with comedic undertones, though at times it feels like he wants to flip the formula, especially with the final scene, which could easily have worked better as a post-credits moment rather than undermining the impact of the whole.

The ending, in fact, is a problem. But once you understand how auteur-driven this film is, those details become forgivable. It's a movie that embraces classic horror while building a new story that works extremely well - and clearly has the potential to expand this universe further. 8/10.

The film is surprisingly stylish, well-directed, and well-acted, creating an almost unique dynamic and blending various cultural influences to portray a one-of-a-kind vampire. With the opening acts that don't directly connect to the final outcome, it toys with the viewer in every scene. We start off in the best western style, with harmonica music, wide shots, stylish outfits, guns at the hip, and intense stares, which then fade into a drama and later into a horror film, very much in the spirit of From Dusk Till Dawn. The Sinners is born a classic - except for its terrible title - yet here we have an authentic horror movie that embraces its roots and dares to be different, with striking scenes and a beautiful soundtrack. Not to mention the solid script construction; there may be some narrative threads that don't fully connect, but as a whole, everything works. 9/10.
