Review of I Am a Hero

I Am a Hero (2015)
7/10
I didn't read the manga, but it seems the film is different and all the better for it
10 September 2018
A disillusioned manga artist finds himself in the middle of a zombie outbreak. Japanese zombies are quite something, as their eyes turn to the sides, their skin breaks into dark veins and, right before they attack you in order to bite you, they say the thing that they were most focused on in life. This makes the film both funny and tragic. A random encounter with a girl who seems just partly zombified and a group of people who try to survive in a mall force him to either die or become a hero.

It was a nice movie. I liked the zombies, the characters, the acting was good and there were some interesting stories told as background to the zombie story. However, as original and interesting the various bits were, this is still a standard zombie movie, don't expect a lot more.
