Great movie and d*mn I love what the zombies look like
I really liked the introductory scene as it gives you a little bit of backstory and the first creeps at the same time. I think the film wasn't trying to have the watcher on highest alert all the time but always gave some time between action-packed scenes to calm down again. Those scenes in between often seem to be a little cheesy but to be honest, who wouldn't be cheesy if they knew that any word they spoke could be their last. Others are plain horrifying, seeing - and realizing - what human minds can do when scared and under pressure. Seeing that a central topic of the film is a virus outbreak that causes people turning into zombies, it's not surprising that people are dying and turning into zombies. I'd say, don't watch the movie if you are sensitive to that. I also loved the kind of open ending, though I'm still wondering what happened to them afterwards.
I felt the actors be quite suitable for their roles. Also, I love how they made their characters seem so real. It sometimes was eerie to look at it. There also are a few characters that I grew to love: those two grandmas who gave me chills in their last few scenes, the dad caring for his daughter and putting her first throughout the whole train ride, the pregnant woman caring for the child when the dad wasn't around, and of course, the not-yet-dad who was always bickering with the dad, the cute guy who hesitated to face his teammates... Of course, there are some stereotypical characters but let's be honest, pretty much every movie, drama, book - every story has them.
The music was great as well. In some scenes, solely the music already gave me chills, other times it made me tear up in combination with what was on screen. Honestly, I can't tell why exactly I got that emotional, fact is, I did. All in all, I can say that I'm no professional, but I never thought that the music was sticking out like a sore thumb.
As most of the time, when I'm writing reviews, I already re-watched this movie. I thought that, compared to the first time I was watching it, it didn't lose much. The only thing I'm kind of sad about that this time I couldn't watch it with friends during a sleepover. This time, I was alone in my room, cuddling with my blanket and holding a pen and paper ready for taking notes. What I only realized this time around is that the zombies look great. I'm not particularly a fan of horror movies, but I mainly watched it because I knew I had loved it before and that I like some eerie atmosphere.
PS: don't watch it when you're (almost) drunk. At least, not if you're the type of drunk person who's always laughing. I am that type of drunk and, my dear friends who were with me when I saw the movie for the first time when I was 17, I'm sorry. I had never been drunk before, and Wodka mixed with orangeade was a little bit too tasty.
PS+1: I mainly re-watched the film because a friend told me to write another review and that's the only thing that I knew where to watch it that I wouldn't have had to spend more than 5 hours watching. But really, I don't regret it at all.
PS+2: I somehow can't find anything negative about this movie except that we have no idea about what happens afterwards. But that's just how this film is, so I can't justify a lower rating than 10 to myself.
PS+3: THERE'S A SEQUEL???
