The premise of the film wouldn't be bad, but that's about it. The rest of it is an uninteresting bore, a totally unpolished boring movie. Perhaps only the beginning of the film is at least a little interesting in the sense that you wait for what happens, but nothing comes. For me a big disappointment. Moreover, if you are expecting a horror film as written, forget about horror, this film has little to do with horror.

This is a movie about love and grief, not a zombie horror apocalypse.

Same concept as *Les Revenants* (series) but with deadly slow pacing, surface level characters, barely any dialogue and poor drama. It's like it's avoiding itself... giving us pointless scenes instead of getting into the drama or fleshing out characters. The whole movie is just the families nursing the dead back to health, feeding them or just staring at each other. There's this one scene involving plastic that had great potencial but the emotions just weren't there at all. It has good performances and the cinematography is respectable but it's all meaningless because this movie is as empty as they come in the drama genre. Graphic slooow rabit kill on top of that. This one should go back into the coffin where it belongs!

Handling the Undead presents a unique premise: a world where the dead rise from their graves, but instead of mindless, flesh-eating monsters, they return as contemplative, almost melancholic figures. While this concept holds potential for a thought-provoking exploration of grief and mortality, the f More

Given how much I enjoyed Let the Right one In, I had high hopes for Norwegian production, Handling the Undead. Hopes that were slowly eroded, over the course of this film.

Yes, I could talk about this being haunting and meaningful, on a vague and nebulous level but I wont. In reality, this essen More

Even at four times speed (MX Player won't play faster), it's excruciatingly slow. At least you get a few laughs, because a two-minute shot of an old guy walking looks hilarious in quadruple speed, or a three-minute trumpet solo or weeping session for the camera sounds tear-inducingly funny.

A bleak and somewhat beautiful piece, “Handling the Undead” had my curiosity the moment it was announced. The first act was great though, with a haunting and mesmerizing score, which is consistent throughout the film. The ending is BIZARRE though, and is haunting as well. Unfortunately, it drags More
