This is not your ordinary zombie film. Instead of being bitten by staggering slow zombies, the "zombies" here are infected people who become undead running maniacs who can transform you via oral secretion transmission. This makes the film/franchise novel in itself. The stark apocalyptic vibe of the film is what is ultimately sells it, along with unnerving performances by the likes of Cillian Murphy. There's some sinister characters within the film that masquerade as saviours and some pretty sudden and brutal violence - this film is certainly not for the faint hearted. It's probably one of the most horrific and gory horror films I've seen in a while.
