No plot besides Walking Dead spinoff with less tension and more jumpscares. Hollow characters and bad zombies.
Even the gore which seems to be the main attraction is sparse and underwhelming.

From my perspective, a fairly accurate view of what life in Trump's world FEELS like. Everything is persistently hopeless and nothing makes sense. Marc-André Grondin was perfection.

Possibly my favorite zombie-like film of all time.… Expand

Maybe looks like a movie that nothing ever happens but it does´nt. Blends efficently elements of previous movies like 28 days after, Children of men and A quiet place. Some secenes requires of strong stomach. The pessimistic finale makes you wonder.

Centered around a group of survivors whose lives intersect post apocalypse. The zombies are different in this one although the transmission is the same they still possess an intelligence that links them altogether. They gather to create large sculptures and they are able to set traps for their intended victims. They appear together and call out for help. It's hella creepy and although the finale is subjective it's intended message is clear, humans are the real monsters, it's definitely something that has been explored before just never like this, these creatures imitate what they once were. It's filled with chilling imagery and definitely leaves an impression long after the credits role. Props for including a lesbian couple as part of the survivors.

La diferencia de esta cinta es su acierto visual y peculiar estilo narrativo, que rinde culto al cine de Tarkovski, especialmente a Stalker, en donde el soviético capturaba paisajes y junto con el sonido creaba ambientes oníricos, hermosos y aterradores. Caso similar tenemos en esta cinta. Escenas contemplativas y movimientos de cámara lentos, Aubert capta imágenes poderosas, hermosas y aterradoras. El director se encarga de crear personajes complejos y recarga la película de metáforas y simbolismos visuales, como el extraño ritual que los zombies .Los Hambrientos funciona por su originalidad narrativa pausada y su belleza visual, poco común en este tipo de películas. Lo que Yeon Sang-ho mostró con Estación Zombie el 2016, en donde mirábamos el sacrificio de un ser cercano, aquí es llevado a un extremo desgarrador, que funciona a nivel narrativo. Los Hambrientos se sale de las convenciones de historia de zombies, tal vez no trae una historia del todo novedosa, pero es innegable su logro visual, tan alejado de las convenciones del sub-genero. Cinta imprescindible para verdaderos amantes de los zombies.… Expand

It goes for a different road for the zombie genre, but I feel like it lacks a firmer and much more concise script.

And it's not that the story rambles or anything like that, but with such poor characters, it's difficult to dig deep into the story, even with the good atmosphere.

So I can say, watch it, but have big reservations.… Expand

Nothing ever happens, the movie is a waste of time. I recommend you to watch other zombies film where something interesting is actually happening. The characters are barely okay and the atmosphere is ok, I'll give them that. When somethingNothing ever happens, the movie is a waste of time. I recommend you to watch other zombies film where something interesting is actually happening. The characters are barely okay and the atmosphere is ok, I'll give them that. When something actually happens, it feels cheap. The action scene is tolerable only because some of the practical effects, other than that it's just average. Avoid if you can.… Expand
