Right, well given the movie's title "Zombie at 17", I must admit that I weren't having any particular grand hopes or expectations for this 2018 movie from writer Christine Conradt and director Alexandre Carrière.
But still, it is a zombie movie, and given my unhealthy interest in everything zombie, of course I had to sit down and watch the movie.
So how was it? Well, it was watchable, but it felt somewhat like writer Christine Conradt was trying to make something in the zombie genre what "Twilight" was for the vampire genre. Did it work? Well, perhaps if you are a young teen watching it, sure. But for a zombie veteran such as myself, then this movie wasn't particularly outstanding.
I managed to sit through it, and yeah it did have some interesting enough moments here and there. But ultimately it was just, for me at least, a very generic and mediocre movie. It felt like it was aimed at a younger audience, and at an audience looking for something to be the next "Twilight".
It should be said that the acting in the movie was actually quite good. But the storyline was just mediocre and the ending was just a slap to the face.
I am rating "Zombie at 17" a very mediocre five out of ten stars.
