10/10I always enjoy watching zombie movies,but this one. I really heart the most,it's was very good. I watched a little half of it.i loved the whole movie,especially the scene with molly got bit her finger by a lone zombie and she tried to do something to cut her finger quickly won't get infected by zombie,(i loved it). It Warm Bodies meets Swiss Army Man meets Lisa Frankenstien? I gave it A+.
