While i don't think it rises above the original and allot of people are gonna be put off by the story which isn't amazing but i think overall its a good first film that contains some strong characters.
I really like the family, aaron taylor johnson is not in the 2nd or 3rd act but the reason why and why spike and his mother go outside their village is good.
Again i don't think the narrative is perfect but i also thinks its good in other ways.
I love ralph fiennes character, he's got some good dialogue and he's apart of the films strongest emotional part.
And overall his performance his the 2nd best of the film.
Jodie comer is amazing aswell but i really wanna give props to alfie williams who while not perfect, gives a pretty good performance as a kid actor.
There was also a minor character, Erik who was pretty funny and bounced off spike pretty well.
The cinematography is beautifull at times, it's not always a frame you wanna hang on your wall but the fact this film was recorded on iPhone is astounding.
Also im just a sucker for zombie films lol.
