i had known about this movie for many months, but never taken the plunge and watched it until now, and i can honestly say i,m glad i did. the story may not move at a fast pace, but it's interesting enough to hold the attention
it has a lot in common with Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, especially in regards to how slow the zombies move. no cgi was used for the zombies, but the gore effects were still pretty good
it may not be nonstop action from start to finish, but the zombies are always a present threat, with our 2 main protagonists always having to keep moving in order to stay ahead of them
its also nice to see a zombie movie set somewhere other than America or Britain for a change, namely in Ghana and Burkina Faso
as for the story, an American military engineer attempts to escape the dead by finding a working plane after his original flight crashed, leaving him stranded. he joins forces with an African soldier who deserted his post in order to look for his son, and together they make their way through the countryside, dodging the dead as they go.
if you like your zombie movies fast paced, then you probably won't enjoy this as it can be slow at times, but the story alone is enough to keep you watching
