About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darker, claustrophobic zombie story that leans on human conflict, moral dilemmas, and heavy gore more than nonstop scares; Not for you if you dislike shouty characters or slower, bunker-bound setups like in Martin.
Pros: tense bunker atmosphere; memorable zombie moments; satisfyingly gory thrills | Cons: uneven acting; shaky logic at times; less scary than modern
