The Horde - DVD review

I picked this DVD up in the supermarket a couple of weeks ago. It was described as the 'Die Hard of zombie films' and it's French. This film has subtitles and that will probably alienate about 70% of the normal zombie film audience.

The story follows a group of police officers who decide to get revenge on a criminal gang who have killed their partner. The criminals are living in a rundown tower block. The two groups are getting on like a house on fire when zombies attack.

I enjoyed this film but it is not high art. The zombies are fast, there is a lot of blood and gore, a crazy amount of guns and some exotic French swearing.
