Connor McMahon’s debut feature film may not be as good as the award winning feature film which inspired and no doubt allowed him to make it, but it’s a fun little movie that adds a wicked slant to the zombie sub genre.
When cattle farmers are attacked by their livestock they become zombies who roam the Irish countryside eating passers by. This makes way for a cross between Brain Dead and NOTLD in this well executed and technically competent indie film.
The prologue to the main story is effective enough, but after that I had a hard time getting into the film until the main characters meet up and then it was pretty good from there on in.
By the mid way point, new characters were introduced and I honestly had no idea what one of them was saying half the time because his accent was so thick. I have a feeling it was well written dialogue as well because the moments I did hear were very funny indeed.
OVERALL SUMMARY
The editing, cinematography and effects work were definitely the highlights here but Connor McMahon does demonstrate that he is capable of quite a bit more if he has the right resources behind him.
