I wanted to like this film. I really did. But I either didn’t get the film, or the film was really bad. I know, the zombie film theme is done to death (pardon the pun) and this film certainly brings a breath of fresh air to the genre by mixing Indian elements to it, but that’s about it. I see nothing else unique about this zombie film compared to many others. And I have very low standards when it comes to zombie films. Usually like most of them. Somehow, this film didn’t do it for me. Would I watch it again? No. Would I make my friends watch it? Hell no!

When it comes to stories about the undead, there’s no shortage of bloody zombie action flicks. But you shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss “Blood Quantum,” now streaming exclusively on Shudder, as more of the same. Writer / director Jeff Barnaby gives the genre fans what they crave, but elevates the message behind the horror. His provocative film is loaded with sociopolitical commentary about colonialism, class, xenophobia, and a scathing critique of racism, all under the banner of a kick ass movie about the walking dead. The dead are coming back to life near the isolated Mi’gMaq reserve of Red Crow, but the Indigenous inhabitants discover they’re immune to the impending zombie plague. The tribal sheriff must protect his son’s pregnant girlfriend, apocalyptic refugees seeking safety, and the residents from the hordes of walking white corpses. It’s a politically charged plot that puts a fresh spin on the genre. The film has an indigenous cast, which is commendable, but the mediocre acting and stiff performances prove distracting. It should be good enough for horror fans, especially when the splattered brains, gore, guts, and brutal violence command the thrilling fight scenes. The horror effects are solid, and the story moves along at a breezy pace (no time is wasted here, as the film jumps right into the action from the first frame). The big zombie killin’ finale is gruesome and satisfying, but the emotional last act is what will stick with me for a long, long time. It’s unexpectedly heartbreaking, and ends the story with a deafening silence and sadness. This isn’t your average horror film, and is a must-see for those who enjoy a little brainy (pun intended) commentary with their apocalyptic movies.

Taking a cue from George Romero's social commentary-laced zombie classics, Blood Quantum is a decent riff on the zombie apocalypse on a native American reservation. Not sure what the heck the title means as it has no relevance to the movie.

From the land of early Peter Jackson comes another Braindead movie in bad taste. It’s the third day of shooting the low budget horror ‘Tonight They Come’ on location in the wilds of New Zealand. Director SMP is already beside himself having to work with a self-obsessed leading man and a bimbo actress when into his line of fire comes a new runner, wannabe screenwriter Wesley Pennington. Clearly an accident-prone nerd, Wesley nevertheless tries his best to fit in with the crazed cast and demented crew while falling head over heels for Susan, the set caterer. But something nasty has entered the local water supply and suddenly the zombie extras start acting like genuine members of the living dead, gore stunts looks even more authentic and actual severed limbs fly. Reel life turns real as Wesley attempts to save the day while ensuring his latest script will get made.
