It's not really about zombies... it's more about the dynamics of student filmmakers, documentary filmmakers and the way they exploit their subjects.
The plot and "surprise twists" are telegraphed broadly early on, so there's not much interest there. I think this would be of interest mainly to film students who will identify with a lot of the very low-key humor.

I really really liked that one. Definitely an underrated little indie gem.

Snow White and the Huntsmen (2012)
I had actually been looking forward to this one for a while. I like dark fantasies and was hoping that this would fit the bill... But while it was very very pretty, it just seemed anemic... Something was missing. Sadly, it was forgettable overall.
2.5/5.

The Brood (1979)
I haven't really seen a whole lot of Cronenberg flicks outside of
The Fly, so I figured that now was as good a time as any to catch up...
I found this movie interesting; definitely influenced by Hitchcock, but I thought it took itself way too seriously at times and the acting wasn't always great... I thoroughly enjoyed
the one shocking scene, but found this mostly boring and dated.
2/5.

The Devil's Rock (2011)
Loved the concept. Loved the fact that there was actually some originality to be found in here... Got boring at times, but was nicely atmospheric and pretty well-done. I honestly wish I didn't know anything about it going in; would have liked the "reveal" a bit more.
3/5.
