About
You might enjoy this if you like low-budget zombie movies with odd ideas, gradual infection scenes, and a sometimes so-bad-it’s-fun vibe similar to Inmate Zero; Not for you if you want fast pacing or a strong tie to the Day of the Dead name.
Pros: unusual infection focus; different institutional setting; some fun zombie moments | Cons: very slow middle; confusing timeline jumps; weak connection to title
