The best zombie movies – and TV shows, in the case of The Walking Dead – understand that the most interesting thing about the arrival of flesh-eaters isn’t the monsters themselves, but rather the very human drama that they bring to the surface of any given situation. They were once us, and one wrong move can turn us into them, and if that’s not the recipe for a horror story loaded with all kinds of drama, I’m not sure what is. Though not nearly on the level of either George Romero’s classics or AMC’s hit series, Denmark’s very first zombie film at least seems to have some understanding of what makes them so good.

Out now, Scream Factory's new release for the Danish horror film What We Become tells the story of a small neighborhood in chaos as a viral outbreak happens. Whatever the sickness is, isn't revealed, but that's not what matters here. Writer-director Bo Mikkelsen revels in the overall picture, not minute details. That's not to say that What We Become isn't good; it's quite enjoyable. It just means that he chooses to focus on the more human aspects of the story and its characters rather than any technical science behind such an outbreak. Unless you've got a vast army of advisors in any given field, focusing on action and emotion rather than the nitty gritty (unless you're Stanley Kubrick) is the way to go. The story follows the...

The most deadly part of a zombie apocalypse might not be the undead after all. It might be the part where you’re boarded up in a house with your family. That’s what the new Danish film What We Become argues. Playing out primarily in the confines of one terrified nuclear family’s home, writer/director Bo Mikkelsen’s […]...

While What We Become might be Denmark’s first post-apocalyptic zombie thriller, horror fans are quite familiar with the overplayed subgenre. Think of Bo Mikkelsen’s feature debut as a shrunken-down, more contained version of The Walking Dead, as viewers helplessly watch humanity devolve into chaos and destruction (once again). The Crazies, 28 Days Later, Romero’s Dead series – Mikkelsen charts doomsday waters that have been previously explored by many films before, which audiences will immediately recognize. With every horror director and their mother trying to navigate the zombie apocalypse, you need a differentiating “Wow” factor to stand apart from the pack. Mikkelsen tries, and proves to run a tight narrative, but it’s everything we’ve seen before, except for a new, peachy locale.

Another zombie thriller is coming out by way of Denmark. The film is called What We Become and this is the debut feature from director Bo Mikkelsen. The film will have its World Premiere at Fantastic Fest, later this month. And, the film's first trailer shows an urban setting under siege. Slightly similar to Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza's Rec (2007), government forces put a family under quarantine. Fast zombie fans can see more of the film here. From an extended synopsis at the Fantastic Fest website, the Johansson family is at home in the countryside. But then, a virus is spread quickly from person to person, driving most mad. An unprecedented quarantine takes place. Now, the Johanssons must find a way to survive both government forces and the infected. The popularity of zombie films and television continues to spread. With the AMC delivering several zombified television seasons from Robert Kirkman's novels,...

And while the trailer will no doubt trigger the requisite 'are they or aren't they zombies' conversation, what is very clear is that whatever we become, it's not pleasant. Here's how the festival described the film:The summer is shaping up to be perfect for the Johansson family. The weather is gorgeous, and the community warm and friendly. Even teenaged Gustav is feeling good about life in general, thanks to the new girl who has just moved in across the street.

What We Become is the latest entry in new Nordic Twilight movement which includes a wave of intelligent, character driven genre pictures such as Let the Right One In and When Animals Dream.
What We Become tells the story of a family whose perfect suburban life is abruptly shattered by the arrival of a mysterious virus and later forced into quarantine.

However, the family soon realizes that what's killing their neighbors is not the flu and that help is not going to come if they remain inside. The film will screen at Fantastic Fest on September 27, with additional screenings planned at the BFI and Sitges film festivals. Watch the trailer above.

Of all the films playing at this year's Fantastic Fest, What We Become ranks as my most anticipated. The film about a family forced to take desperate measures when they are quarantined in the midst of a strange viral outbreak sounds right up my alley.
Add to that the fact that people are saying the film is "a gorgeously executed picture that prizes its characters as much as the elements of genre film... it exemplifies the new Nordic Twilight movement – a wave of intelligent, character driven genre pictures including the likes of Let The Right One In and When Animals Dream."

It is time for me to make my peace with the fact that I will not be at Fantastic Fest this year. Last year's fest was one of my favorites ever, fitting for a tenth anniversary, and I would love to go this year. It's just not in the cards, though. It guts me, too. The event continues to grow and change and evolve, and it features one of the greatest programming teams in the business right now. There are films playing at the festival that I'll see in Toronto, and I'm sure I'll catch up with others, but that's not the point. Fantastic Fest is an experience, and an amazing one.

Below are 35 more films to add to the 23 already announced in the first wave. They include Ridley Scott’s The Martian, Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster, Ben Wheatley’s adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s High-Rise and Jeremy Saulnier’s follow up to Blue Ruin, The Green Room. In addition to the films, Fantastic Fest is also delivering something special this year with a performance from Itchy-o – “a blazing, 32-member aural assault from the darkest depths of Colorado.” Fantastic Fest will also host the World Premiere of Lazer Team, the first feature film from web series gods Rooster Teeth. “This is a big year for genre cinema.

It’s hard to believe that we are a month away from what is possibly the best genre film festival in North America! After announcing a Kurt Russell included first wave, we get a wave that probably includes all the films I have the most interest in. The French remake of what I consider is one of Mario Bava’s best films, Rabid Dogs is included. Along with Jeremy Saulnier’s follow up from Blue Ruin, Green Room where Patrick Stewart plays a Neo-Nazi club owner, Ridley Scott’s The Martian, Ben Wheatley’s adaptation of High-Rise and the horror film that has some chilling buzz, The Witch, are all included. Check out the full listing below and wait with anticipation for our coverage of the festival!

Intrigued by the current turn towards genre cinema throughout Scandinavia? Well, then, remember the name of Danish writer-director Bo Mikkelsen and his feature debut, What We Become. Because you'll be hearing a lot about this one.Though the film has just wrapped principal photography I had the chance to see Mikkelsen's earlier short film Tabu some time ago along with a test reel for this film while also having the chance to read the script and it's an absolute stunner, filled to the brim with that potent blend of rich characters and a sense of realism that keeps things rooted firmly to the ground no matter how dark they get.
