the reason i was fiending to see this was all based on the description "imagine Romero's 'Dawn of the Dead' with an Asian twist. japanese cult classic." One other review desribed it as a HK zombified version of 'Mallrats'. That pretty much sums up my taste in movies right there.
basically, that adds up to 2 mall clerks and one bio-chemical crash which equals some very unlucky teenage mall-goers. hilarity ensues when they get tanked on saki and for some reason its portrayed as if they are on herion. is there a misunderstanding by the makers of this movie of the effects of alcohol? things get a little more "believeable" when cutie-honey barfs on her boyfriend mid make-out sesh. Best part: they continue to get it on.
Zombies are portrayed with a little more personalized charactristics as is the norm, *which makes it very heartfelt. Also, it explores the awkwardness of how it feels when your friend turns into a zombie. seriously, i hate that. so awkward.
"eat iiiit. eat iiiit."
anyway, yep... starts out a little wee bit slow but DEFINATELY picks up. seriously this movie gets better and better. Recommend!!
mall zombie scenarios will always be a favorite
