IT’S BACK BABY! Loved it apart from the barn torture scene which was truly horrible. The opening scene was horrible too but felt more necessary? Definitely loved the appearance of you-know-who (is there even any point as marking that as a spoiler anymore, everyone knows). AMAZING musical number. God I fucking love movies that have unhinged musical numbers out of nowhere.
Really big spoilers and thoughts beneath the image:
- I guessed from the trailer this movie would be about finding a cure and I WAS RIGHT!!
- Chi Lewis-Parry is absolutely amazing in this. I’m naming him before any of the bigger actors because I think he deserves it, he carried like a third of the movie and had the most difficult job AND had to act while naked, I hope he gets a lot more attention after this.
- The “moon” scene was my favourite, god I love monster-becomes-human narratives so much
- DOCTOR KELSON THE CHARACTER THAT YOU ARE. Already my favourite fictional character of the year. I’m so sad he died.
- Oh thank god they finally remembered that inhaling even a drop of zombie blood will infect you too!
- So what happened to Selena? She’s probably dead isn’t she :(
- I spent a lot of the movie wondering if ‘howzat’ was something the real Jimmy Savile used to say, but I don’t want to Google Jimmy Savile. Hope you’re in hell Jimmy!
- This movie is very pro-NHS (how can you be anti-NHS??? Oh god never mind) and I’m really glad about it.
- I’m looking SO forward to the third movie, you can’t imagine. There’s so many things in play now. Samson, the pregnant woman who escaped Jimmy, the notes on the cure hidden in Kelson’s bunker, Spike and Kelly’s journey, Jim and his daughter… I want to see Aaron Taylor-Johnson again too! Oh please let this movie do well enough to get a sequel, I know it probably will but I still worry
