i suppose if you have never see any of romero zombie film and or his crazy and or even cronenberg rabid and the fly and you might be impress by this film . but for even a mildly seasoned horror fan and there be nothing especially interest here . of course it cronenberg first feature length film and so it worth see for historical reason and but the script be boring and monotonous and unfocused and it lack an engaging protagonist . there be some disturbing moment ( the opening fight or murder and where we do not even know who the villain be while the barking kid while the bathtub scene ) and but the film lack a clear idea of how it want to portray the infected people while most of the time they behave like energetic sex maniac and but at other time they become the plodding zombie of the notld variety . ( half ) .
