1/2 old horror flick +1/2 new treatment = Rodriguez style!

Rating: 6/10 (27 April 2012)

Are you a guy who likes old school horror movie and want to take out a girl who likes the over-the-top-close-to-comedy horror? Well, if so, you got a date!
If at the beginning we're not sure about the mix of old fashion and the «modern-and-digital» touch, the outcome is good enough to support expectations.
Somehow in the spirit of reality show (I could not stop myself thinking about Truman show all the movie long), the least we can say is this is in the taste of the day. The old horror elements are well done despite the fact that some of the intense scenes (the fights with the zombies, for instance) are a bit too shaky (read here : we don't see clearly and the sound is in a «patchingwork» use).
The last third of the movie takes a surprising turn and the refreshing effect of all of it worth the time if not the patience (I say that because after a while in the wood, you may feel that the movie tramples but what happen next makes you forgot (and forgive) about). And what to say about the orgy (not sexually) of freaky monsters (I don't want to say too much, just in case...).
At the risk to repeat what I mentioned in the summary, it is in the Rodriguez style. Maybe a bit less spicy than Planet Terror but how far better that Machete! Horror fans, it's for you!
