Edge of your seat horror!

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2020)

This movie is two hours long, and from the moment the zombies appear about 20 minutes into the movie, it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Some of the scenes are almost unbearably tense. It is exciting but also sad because you grow to know and to like most of the characters in the movie and you don't want them to fall into the hands of the zombies.
But by the end of the movie I felt not only sad but also burdened for some reason. I couldn't understand why because the movie itself was very well-made and enjoyable. And I wasn't bothered that the movie didn't end the way I wanted it to. No, it was something else.
And I thought about it and I think it has something to do with the filmmakers way of looking at things, of their way of understanding the world. I know it's a fictional story of course, but what kind of a world is it where the reward for the incredible acts of bravery and of self sacrifice that some of the characters in the movie go through is to turn them into unthinking, ultra-violent bloodthirsty monsters!
And then it occurred to me that it must have something to do with the filmmakers way of looking at things. It's a sad place indeed where your reward for incredible acts of bravery and of self-sacrifice is to become an ultra-violent unthinking monster. There is no redemption for these people, so they are running and fighting for nothing! Everyone here was hopelessly doomed from the very beginning.
They say Jesus name in the movie but they use it merely as an exclamation as they often do in American movies. God cannot save anyone here because no one believes in him!
