I enjoyed this zombie flick for several reasons.
Firstly, the scenery in this part of China is breathtaking and it makes a nice change to see such countryside in this kind of movie.
The story is not particularly original but it moves along at a nice pace.
A young man is looking for food in what looks like an abandoned house. He soon hears the sound of a woman being attacked by her father and witnesses her being attacked as he hides under the bed. In an attempt to escape the crazed zombie he is rescued by a beautiful young woman who shoots his pursuer with an arrow. The woman is accompanied by other men and they all band together to find safety.
I don't want to elaborate any further as I have already included enough spoilers.
The language is in Chinese and the version I watched had dreadful English subtitles that flashed by far too quickly to be fully read. However, the dialogue is not the most important thing in this movie. I thought the acting was strong and I felt empathy for the main characters. Well worth watching and better than I expected. It's not just another zombie flick as it has plenty of atmosphere and not very much gore. For me gratuitous gore ruins a good film.
