A lot of people are going to judge the film based on its success as a horror movie, and others will judge it as a political statement. Not that I think there’s a deficiency in any part of its personality, but I also think the panache with which it is both of those things and more — without looking to the history of genre or the future of civil rights for permission to say some pretty bold stuff — is why the film is a success.

I found myself admiring Barnaby’s editing and production skills—“Blood Quantum” looks great—but he’s not quite yet there in directing performances or writing dialogue. Everything here feels a bit too first draft or first take when the characters aren’t fighting off growling zombies.

Barnaby’s colonialist take on the formula is far from subtle, and at times a little too bluntly on the nose, but he’s a film-maker with both something to say and the skillset to say it in a distinctive way, offering up an initially engaging alternative to mere guts and shock tactics.

the photography is very good, pretty much every shot seems thought out for effect and artistic value. Good performances but the script loses all steam in the second act. I quit at 1hr.

It works within the grotesque display the story allows, but that at the same time is the clearest example of its weaknesses.
And personally I've had enough of zombies.

Poor editing choices turn an otherwise good movie until one that marginally fails. Pity, as the characters were well written.

How lovely. Just what we needed - another terrible zombie movie... because the other 3 dozen weren't bad enough! THIS movie was just all kinds of awful. Lousy acting and just really boring and stupid.
