Disappointing thing to watch after All of Us Are Dead
I was looking for the same sort of high stakes, action focused drama as All of Us Are Dead and since this is also a zombie school drama, it seemed an obvious choice.I was unfortunately very disappointed. Whereas All of Us Are Dead (AOUAD) is moved forward by tense and dynamic emotional connections and the unknown of who will survive if anyone, Zomivor lacked the same appeals.
Zomivor starts seemingly in the hours following the initial outbreak and through flashbacks reveals what happened over the past year or so. This leads you right into the tension but with no emotional attachment to any characters to care for their success. Due to the fact that this takes place at a college campus across two separate schools and about 3-4 separate groups, the relationships are unclear and this downplays the tension between characters as drama is introduced as it’s hard to tell who is an acquaintance or a friend.
I think this production was overall very weak and the directing choices poorly made. However, the acting was fine and the special effects/zombies were appropriately creepy.
I find myself confused by the high ratings of this, and would love to know if it was as successful domestically as internationally. From the other reviews and comments I’ve seen online, I do think a large portion of people went into this because of a favorite actor.
Was this review helpful to you?
