It Stains the Sands Red (2016)

This is How Movies Should Be Made

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I enjoyed this it was something different from the usual zombie films and the main actress held it all together well....not much blood and gore so may not appeal to die hard zombie fans, some humour along the way definitely not as bad as some people have said. Not sure i would class it as a horror film but still entertaining and held my interest

Although it's only 92 minutes long, it's a LONG 92 minutes. For some reason, it just loses all momentum once she's walking through the desert with the zombie following her. These scenes go on and on and on and on. We get it. And her motivation to walk 30 miles to the airstrip I was never really clear on; the desire to reach her child would have been much more intense and added some needed suspense to the film. But I did enjoy her character arc and her relationship with the zombie. I just wish the filmmaker had settled on a tone since it skipped around from farce to drama to horror to slapstick comedy and never seemed to find its footing until the end. I recommended it but it could have used a little more story or a little more editing.

A few times this title passed me on the net and now that it is available it was time to pick it up. It's not going to be a flick for everyone because it do contains zombies but it's not all about the zombie(s). In fact it's between the relationship between a human and a zombie following her closely. A bit of a zombie Stockholm syndrome.The flick itself starts off rather in a gory way and I thought that it was going to be a gory flick. In some ways it is but on the other hand it only happens when a zombie do attack. That is of course normal but as stated, it's not all about the zombies attacking. Due the fact that there is some kind of friendship starting between the two (hulan and zombie) you will have some funny situations, maybe it wasn't intended but I did had a smile here and there. Is it all that good, the effects are really well done and are above mediocre and the acting is also okay but the script do has it flows. There are a lot of situations that you think, hub, what do happens now or why do one react that way.Still, if you are into zombies it's a must see, it'do has it gore but it's never scary. It fits perfectly in the horror genre but I can understand that some will turn it off due plot holes and the story itself.Gore 2/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0,5/5

This movie was even better than I expected and I was expecting a lot. The synopsis teases you but it doesn't give the whole picture.When you actually start watching it, there's no way, you'll walk away until it's over. It's that good.The acting, especially Molly's character was bang on, funny and intense when needed.Definitely a movie to add to your watch list. You won't regret it one bit.
