Would-be elegy offers neither conventional catharsis nor enough mesmeric insight to justify its somberness
The zombie genre has proven wildly adaptable, transcending cultures and national borders. Plenty of efforts trade in action-horror mayhem, while others use a return of the undead as an inciting incident for grander social statements or inquiries pegged to societal breakdown. In terms of explorative value, though, the rush and any ongoing cataloging of grief tends to get the short end of the stick.
Perhaps that’s not surprising, given that the film is based on a 2005 Swedish novel of the same name, co-adapted for the screen by Hvistendahl and author John Ajvide Lindqvist, the latter of whom also penned the superb Let The Right One In. This translation to the screen has many elements that “work,” at least on an individual level.
