Comments

Although Danny Boyle claims that its film is not a Film of zombies it shows many characteristics of them. The film falls under several traditions and points out as much films of Zombies of George Romero as the film Le Monde, the flesh and the devil (1959). Its extremely neat image and its very interesting characters often enable him to leave the batch.
