I just saw this. I really enjoyed it. The previous film surprised me after I had seen the trailers and this was the same, my expectations were subverted in a pleasing way. It’s uncompromisingly gory and frequently very funny.
Really recommend it if you are interested and have a strong CON stat!
I really enjoyed the first two movies. The story, the filming style, the music and everything came together in a kind of way that seemed real. I still think they are pretty good zombie apocalypse movies.
The third movie for me was less believable in every single element. Just slightly. But the whole movie took on a faint whiff of Wes Anderson’s eccentricity or some magic realism - from the island, to the the social structure, to the story, and on and on. Everything seemed unrealistic and uncanny. I guess none of that makes the movie a bad movie, but it was definitely an unequal sequel of the series.
So what did you think of the fourth movie that this thread is about?
