The Good: This flick is probably the best of the shaky cam movies out there. I'm not normally a fan of movies like this (I kind of liked Cloverfield and Chronicle). My shaky cam reservations aside, I found myself really enjoying this movie. I wanted to hate Angela, but in the end couldn't. The infected residents are a good take on the fast zombie and the film offered up a few good scares. The ending revelation of the source of the infection is fantastic. I'm looking forward to watching some of the later films, because I've read that it's further explored.
The Bad: It's shaky cam. If you don't like shaky cam, you will not like this movie. Also, if you don't like watching films with subtitles and don't speak Spanish, you're out of luck.
Final Thoughts: This movie is far superior to the American remake, Quarantine. Doomsday cults and super rabies don't do it for me.... now viral demonic possession... that gets my blood going.
In Your Game: While they are not traditional zombies, these infected would be perfect for an All Flesh Must Be Eaten game. So I present to you, the possessed....
