Virus kills off all but turns healthy women in to well dressed zombies. Apocalypse, Russian style where the bad guys are bad, the good guys are good and grey is the time between night and day and the colour of a city deserted by all but zombies. Landscape is a character of wide open spaces where mostly one can see the zombies coming. Traditional pillars of the apocalypse, violence and sex are there, but pleasingly muted to let character development and the story proceed.
Good guys tend to have no fashion sense while the bad guys wear the worst of the corporate world.
As for the zombies they were all the dressed in their finest clothes before they turned. I come home a slob after an average day, but they are still dressed in the height of fashion after weeks. Dark eyes, the way they walk and their banshee cries give them a few chilling scenes but otherwise is more about the terror of who would do this and keep on doing this to people. Horror is downplayed to the terror of why people do bad things.
Subtitles were poorly done otherwise my rating would be an 8.
