Before iZombie<\/a>, there was I, Zombie<\/a>. I wrote about this one once before<\/a>,\u00a0and I stand by what I said: The zombie genre on the whole is a chronicle of pain, I suppose, and though this film\u2019s conceit of following a man as he slowly turns into the undead isn\u2019t quite as fresh as it was in \u201998, its somber, epistolary atmosphere has aged well. It\u2019s shot on low-quality video which I know turns people off, but in this case, it gives it an extra jolt of grungy, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer<\/a>-esque rawness. It ain\u2019t great, but the world needs more cerebral no-budget horror.<\/p>\n
