Is it a zombie movie - is it a political satire?
This movie was loud, weird, bloody, funny, gory, clichée and still a tad bit political.First of all, despite the low production quality, I quite enjoyed the color scheme and overall design that made me think of 70s movies. The attire especially of the "bad guys" in their funny suits was clearly on purpose to stress the overly comicality of their behaviour.
The music was quite loud, while the dialogues and speech parts were too soft, sometimes almost inaudible.
Well I am not sure if that is the movie's fault or they couldn't get a better version on the streaming website.
While the comedy was quite blunt and the overall story typical for a zombie apocalypse survival plot, I did enjoy the portayal of the characters and think the cast did a pretty good job.
In the end I could still take away a message from this. Knowaing that in Taiwanese parliament the MPs really do end up physically fighting each other, it's bringing light to how ridiculous the political situation is. Seeing it came out in 2020 I also view it as a critical remark on dealing with a pandemic and ways to prevent/treat it.
Wouldn't rewatch and only recommend if you enjoy zombie comedies with a lot of blood.
It's no 'Shaun of the dead' but a good watch for a rainy afternoon/evening.
