Review of The Horde

I kept hearing about this French movie called The Horde, so I made a point to see it. I don't get that excited for most movies, especially zombie movies as they're all the same, but do to the hype, I was filled with the nerves of anticipation for this one. Knowing it was even subtitled (and I hate subtitles! No, this doesn't mean I'm not 'cultured,' it just means I don't like missing the movie by having to focus on the words on the bottom of the screen! Unless it begins with "In a galaxy, far far away..." I don't like having to read my movies. But there is an English version on the DVD, and after a while, you don't even notice that the lips don't perfectly match.)

As I understand it, this is France's first offical zombie movie. If I had to decribe the zombies, I'd say they fall into the realm of vampire zombies. They're strong, quick, move in the night, and at times seem all powerful. Hence, vampires zombies.

I wasn't blown away by the flick, it didn't offer anything new, no new thoughts or monster, or ideas about zombism, but it was a bloody, dark, fun intense ride. Nothng deep, or profound, just....zombies.

I love the main villain, a nigerian character, he's very cool and badass. It's more of an action movie than a horror movie. But if you love blood and action, you'll love this movie. Nothing special, but definitely worth the watch.
