Bad italian movie
2 May 2020
Usually i don't write reviews about movies because in my very little free time I prefer to watch them instead of writing about them, but this time I felt it was the case to write something. This is an italian movie, an italian television (RAI) production. I'm italian too and I know what I'm saying when it comes to italian movies, especially RAI productions: these usually are very mediocre and propagandistic products from Rome. Tourists think about Rome as the romantic city of lovers, of eternal beauty and sunlight, but its soul is made of darkness. It is a peculiar one because it is not just a city of power but the city of powers (italian state bureaucracy, catholic church, mafia, masonry etc.), that is a city of lies, violence and corruption. Movies from Rome reflect this situation: they are an hypocritical and laughable facade of a rotten building, made by mediocre actors (they aren't even able to speak italian, they only speak roman dialect) and mediocre directors. I gave this film a chance in the hope it would have been different but it wasn't. The acting of the main character is very poor and the zombies aren't funny neither terrifying, they are just poor stupid actors. The director tries to create suspense by suddenly zooming on objects and by a questionable music selection, but there is no suspense at all, just a bad B-movie stink. If you are looking for a very interesting zombie movie, I suggest a french film that I enjoyed recently: "La nuit a dévoré le monde" (2018).

P.S. Just a word for the fans of movie mistakes: the protagonist used a disposable wheel lighter to light a cigarette but, when turning off the lighter, you could hear the typical clanging sound of a Zippo lighter.
