And that takes a lot to make me come to tears. I haven't wrote a review on IMDb in awhile and there is some movies deserving of one that I should review it but this one... man it hurt me, in a good way sort of speak. This is a story of a man that simply is trying to do his role as a husband and father by making sure his family is taken care of. He comes from a background that I'm sure those from the Philippines will relate to and decides that life in the big city will give his family a change of pace. He instead finds that the city is full of betrayal and lies with the people he meets. Not to say everyone there is out to hurt someone but it shows the realism of what some people go through simply trusting in someone they don't know. This is not a action movie but a movie that is sort of a thriller and moving like... sorry, my terminology isn't there for movies.
The movie is a tearjerker as they say and I'm a black man who actually don't mind movies like that. This movie I didn't expect to be tearjerkish and I really don't go looking for those type movies. I'm not trying to say that this movie should be watched to feel bad for someone but that it is a movie centered on trying to capture how things can really get rough for families trying to start out in Manila.
Every time "Oscar" the main character had something happen to him, it affected me and that goes to show how EXCELLENT a job Jake did in this role. Everyone played their parts right even down to the adorable daughter of his. At times I was concerned his wife would leave him... just had me that in tuned.
Everything about the movie is gritty and surreal that you feel as if this is really happening; someone just taped it all somehow. What happens in the end brought me to tears because I am a human that sympathize and understand a bold move people will take for their family. It just pains me that I can only wish I could tell folks I know about this movie but they won't give it a try because it is a foreign movie and don't want to read subtitles.

This zombie made all zombies a joke. Of course Hollywood approved this trash but nevertheless here it is on IMDb with a rating of 7.3. Simply amazing that this movie has garnished such reviews and ratings. What were people thinking when they seen this? Cute? Heart-warming? Loving? I mean this movie wasn't realistic in any sense even for a Zombie movie. Zombies uniting together and having hearts of a human??? Original in a bad way people but because the people of today are very much simple minded and perhaps there are many women rating this or something is beyond my understanding. Movies that really deserve a 7 or higher get rated 4's and 5's but this one has changed my mind on folk who do rate low.
Production value is not bad, acting not bad, Ponies not bad, lol and idea wasn't bad but this movie had a strong way of annoyance with the humans and zombies working together due to a couple comprising of a boy zombie and a girl. Talking Zombies is not bad but those that feel... can love... can become human again is not something that should have ever been done. Kissing the dead... BIG NO! What perverted person could ever get away with away with that? Let it been a woman zombie kissing a man and this be on the cover of Newsweekly for a sham.
This is a movie for a group of illiterate high school minded folk who get kicks of this mess. Pure calamity of the horror genre. Waste of my time after watching another waste of my time watching Jack the Giant Slayer. Hollywood could only be the one to get away of Zombies becoming Human. Disaster from the beginning to the end.
