DIE HARD

I. Fan Wang’s GET THE HELL OUT: Oxford Film Festival 2021 Review; manic and creative GET THE HELL OUT delivers crazy zombie politics

Genre fans can have a field day debating whether or not this counts as a zombie movie, since the rabid move fast and technically are not dead. Because they’re mindless, and spread the infection by biting people, this seems close enough for horseshoes. In a notable departure from the standard walking dead, however, it’s not so much a shot to the head that finishes them, but a slicing of the neck artery, hosing everyone in the vicinity down in crimson spew. And it doesn’t necessarily take something like a chainsaw to get the job done. A pair of nailclippers proves extremely versatile.
