To view this “high-art” film, I was inspired by Midnight Men1987 – it often happens that you read negative reviews and personally want to check whether the movie is so bad about which nothing good is said. But I will make a reservation right away - I had to see an alternative ending, in connection with which the whole action suddenly appears in a new light and I do not even know what genre this creation can be attributed to.
It all begins with the fact that a chemical is poured into a milk tank, and three girls die in the village after drinking it. Then it is worse, and now they return in the form of zombies, pursuing those responsible for this case, without ceremony and killing with sadistic cruelty.
Throughout the show, the director tried hard to create an atmosphere of horror. Here and revived from the poured chemical corpses of recently deceased girls of this kind, as if they were in this state for at least one week, who commit murder quite in the style of their many colleagues, eating the living. But at the same time, they act extraordinarily intelligently - apparently, some strange chemical turned out to be, which adds mental abilities to the living dead. What is the point of a very sophisticated assassination of a factory manager when they have waited long enough and patiently for him to appear in the pool?
And the horror didn't work. Yes, it was disgusting in some moments - but only. There was no feeling that the director in every possible way tried to stretch the already short timekeeping - apparently this is his idea of suspense, when for a minute they show the same thing from the same angle and music sounds, which should look sinister. As for the horror, he saw the character of such beauties, immediately his hands-legs were taken away and instead of resisting him, he almost falls into his arms to be sent to the other world. In principle, there was no pity for the deceased, except for a motorcyclist. As for the chemist who spent the night with the corpse, his mutilated hand could be mistaken for the curse of the zombies, if not for the alternative ending and somehow it becomes not very clear what it was with him the zombies did that brought him and his unhappy pregnant wife - the second character who caused me pity - to such a state.
I talk all the time, I talk about this alternate ending -- do you want to tell me more about it? No, I will not spoil the pleasure of seeing what the director offered to the audience. And yes, the whole film is not necessary to watch - on the two-year ending this is a separate dopo.
If it were not for the alternative ending, because of which the film immediately slides into an unknown genre - if such a genre exists at all and my state was no longer boredom, but became ridiculous, then the score would be lower by a point - and here is the result.
