Movie Review: Among the Living (2022)

the horror begins again... 59 nights till Halloween!
.
tonight's feature: Among the Living (2022)

Among the Living is arguably the best Anthrax record. But the 2022 horror/suspense film Among the Living is an arguably tepid, low budget, zombie non-pocalypse, "The Last of Us Walking Dead" drama featuring an unlikeable goofus named Harry and his little sister Lily.

Set in the wilds of the UK where the accents are thick enough for subtitles, the tent-camping duo try to stay safe in a plagued-out hellscape of beautiful countryside where the blood-sniffin' undead magically show up if someone gets cut. You take that general premise and sprinkle it with some nonsensical sappy scenes, a questionable soundtrack and a couple unfortunate plot twists and you've got a recipe for some incredibly minor thrills and general disappointment. 4.5 yellow winter coats out of 10.
