After a series of misfortunes, Michael rents a cheap bedroom and comes to terms with the state of the world, via online encyclopedias and edutainment videos. He becomes fixated on an English businessman who is mismanaging a local lough.
The film is competently shot, with some nicely directed chases and a central action scene in the dark that stands out.
Years after a devastating war, a hardened survivor and a young boy are forced from their home by creatures capable of imitating humans. As they journey north in search of refuge, their fragile bond is pushed to its limit.
If this film has one thing to distinguish it, it’s its werewolf concept.
A werewolf hunts zombies after losing his family. He meets two humans seeking sanctuary and joins their quest, protecting them with his powers. Their journey grows perilous as zombies start evolving.
It’s a journey filled with quirky little incidents, as often in tales like this, but they all register a little differently in light of Shawn’s suicidality.
A young man's plan to jump into an icy river at night is interrupted by a half-man half-fish there for the same reason. These two strike a bargain to find a rare morel mushroom, hoping it will provide something worth living for.
