That was pretty fun
The Layout of this movie feels very western in a good way. The cinematography is reminiscent of 28 days later and the walking dead. I thought it had a better feel then most zombie movies from Japan. This one felt like it was playing homage in a way. From the sweeping high angle shots to the chaotic cuts, I liked the way the film was edited. There was some great pull out sequences and the sets were well designed. Zombie movies can pull off some amazing shots when it comes to desolate building areas to convey scope of the devastation.
The acting was great for Hideo. He felt like he was really a guy who didn't have any direction. Kasumi was super wasted lol. I wonder if they meant to have her in a sequel. I don't know anything about the manga so I'm not sure how emotional Hiromi becomes later. The other characters were like sped up tropes you usually see on this type of movie. The heel, the egotistical leader, the pleasant old man, the girl who is unconfident. It's all there. I can tell there's definitely a bunch of things missing but that's mainly due to the format. The important thing is being entertained for this one.
The movie doesn't shy away from the blood and gore. I enjoyed the practical makeup and also amazing body choreography. Hideo's girlfriend did some seriously crazy body stuff. The types of zombies were also incredibly varied which was a plus. The final scenes felt like a video game lol.
It was highly enjoyable, I wonder if they plan to continue? If not then I'm sure you can just read the manga probably to fill in the gaps.
