Every week the Zombie Cookbook shows you why the world would be a better place if it had more zombies in it. This week however, we showcase another review by Lucio Ruggero, who explores some of the finer examples of study material on life after the zombie-apocalypse.
This week Lucio reviews Colin (UK, 2009). Directed by Marc Price and starring Alastair Kirton, Daisy Atkins, Kate Alderman, Leanne Pammen, Tat Whalley, amongst others. Take it away, Lucio:
Ever wanted to see a movie from the zombie's point of view? Well here's your chance. In the end you might even feel sympathy for them, poor things.
In this movie we follow Colin, a regular Londoner, while he learns to cope with a zombie apocalypse, getting infected himself and turning into a full fledged zombie. I have to say the movie is very convincing. You're there, to say the least.
What you almost never see in the regular zombie flic (except for Survival of the Dead) is how family members deal with the apparent zombification of their loved one. This is very well depicted in Colin and makes for some memorable scenes. Especially when mom has to leave both Colin and his sister behind, because she's been infected too.
The zombies in this movie completely lack any form of intelligence, with only their instincts drives them. This is how I like to see them and is cause for some pretty hilarious scenes. The movie has plenty of gore, human death squads (who take very good care of their own, when bitten), beautiful scenery of the city of London and a very compelling soundtrack.
This movie is very special and therefore I really really recommend you all to see it.
Yours sincerely,
Lucio Ruggoro
