RAVENOUS (2017 NETFLIX A.K.A. LES AFFAMES)

This french language Canadian zombie flick is a fresh, intriguing, scary example of how good this subgenre can be. Centered around a group of survivors whose lives intersect post apocalypse. The zombies are different in this one although the transmission is the same they still possess an intelligence that links them altogether. They gather to create large sculptures and they are able to set traps for their intended victims. They appear together and call out for help. It's hella creepy and although the finale is subjective it's intended message is clear, humans are the real monsters, it's definitely something that has been explored before just never like this, these creatures imitate what they once were. It's filled with chilling imagery and definitely leaves an impression long after the credits role. Props for including a lesbian couple as part of the survivors.

9/10
