Apocalypse Z The Beginning of the End: And that's how it's done

PlotManel is sheltering from a rabies-like disease which sweeps the planet, until he is forced to leave and meet unlikely but essential traveling companions.CastNot familiar with anyone of the cast but Director Carles Torrens I'm familiar with, though with mix results.VerdictAs a life long mid 40's horror fanatic by favourite sub-genre has always been zombies. However I'm not as excited booting a new zombie movie up like I used to be as generally they're cliché ridden, trope saturated generic messes and it's rare I come across one I truly enjoy. Part of reason is that they're cheap to make so indie filmmakers with no budget and even less talent are making them and even when the budget is there the originality has waned.With a generic title like Apocalypse Z which would befit a Scyfy original I went in assuming the absolute worst but found myself engrossed in an entertaining and likeable affair.Following a single character has been done before but tends to be the setup for rather boring zombie movies this bucks that trend and was very engaging. His tiny travelling companion added both joy and consistent dread throughout the film which I enjoyed but very easily could have not.The film isn't perfect, it has a mediocre ending and suffers from pacing issues a couple of times but overall this is one of the better zombie movies I've seen in the last 5 years and is well worth a watch for anyone who is a fan of the sub-genre.RantsI have 6 cats, they're my world. Being a crazy cat dad and generally a person who looks at the world with a animals > people stance made me wince throughout the movie. I had to Google in advance to find out if the pet dies, if the answer had been yes I wouldn't have watched this as that to me is the biggest horror trope that needs to die. What it did bring here though was heart racing dread and genuine concern, I approve! Horror movies simply don't scare me anymore and haven't for 30 odd years but this dread was a surprising and appreciate substitute.The GoodSolid character development Some original moments The cat element really workedThe BadWeak finale Slumps a couple of times.

Quite close to the book.

What a surprise when I came across this film the other day. I had bought the Kindle book version in 2020, and it was a blast reading, so much that when I finished it I went for the Part 2. The film similarity to the book is huge, with some changes but acceptable, missing the part in which its main Character has to do a mission for the russian sailors downtown, but for the rest is a very easy going film if you accept zombie movies and that not all zombies may die if wounded in the head.As always there is so much more in a book reading than in its movie recreation. I would recommend the film and so the book.

Strong Beginning, Weaker Middle, Intriguing End

Spain movie studios have proved themselves with this one; they can perfectly make post-apocalyptic zombie movies just like REC or this one!It gave me The Last of Us vibes to some extent which allowed me to be on the edge of my seat almost constantly except for the second part of the movie which becomes a bit slow, and they use typical clichés such as X character appearing when you know they are just "disposable", or the protagonist being "miraculously" saved here and there.However, it's a worth watching movie which leaves the viewers with a cliffhanger so that we eagerly wait for the sequel!All in all, it's not the best zombie movie out there but accomplishes its task: keep you sitting in front of your TV till the end!
