![]() ![]() It's a big budget well acted French flick, plenty of nasty zombies, adequate developed characters, guns and gore. Thankfully, Horde is a rounded and entertaining piece of cinema, taking the subject matter violently seriously. ![]() The acting is excellent from the supporting cast, Eriq Ebouaney and Claude Perron stand out. ![]() Borrowing from the best and despite some unnecessary choppy editing and the racial tone of Arnaud Bordas screenplay it has many redeeming features, the story, issues of trust and loyalty play out nicely. They have been the butt end of successful comedies (Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead), disappointing recent offerings from the genres defining creator Romero and endless low budgeters, including the over praised Colin. Zombies recently have been mixed productions, excluding virus or affective flicks, 28 Days Later, Crazies, and Rec. Trapped in a block of flats cops and crooks must assist each other to survive. The premise of the Horde is that a group of police go to take down a Nigerian drug cartel after one of their own is killed, however, there is a zombie outbreak and the city becomes under siege. ![]()
